From floor votes to overflow rooms: we break down the Hill’s shutdown math, fresh peace-deal signals, and what the Spanberger–Sears debate says about suburban momentum. Then the culture pulse—fuller rooms, bolder prayers, and a youth surge showing up in packed campus events and new chapter interest.

 In hour two, we separate verified facts from rumors on ‘Arctic Frost’ and map the youth energy against county-level trends: practical takeaways, clean receipts, zero fluff.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Hey Andrew, buddy, since you're paying attention, do me a favor.
Tell me if at any point you started hearing any echo,
because I think I might have traced the problem a
second ago. Also, let me know if the intro plays
in the second, because now I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
From the rectors to the capital stabspix coling on the truth,
no temper regrets. He's got fire in his voice and
facts in his hand, talking, says to the blow across
this land, the.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Ray Robison, show it to your glass high.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And don't spend no script as.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
The needle in the sky.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
And they say, tell something and okay, see he's calling
it out with them, my dad in a whole lot
of clouds.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
This is a Laryo real.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Tune his freak up and see them what we feel.
He's breaking down the noise. He's cutting through the lies.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Shot in the light where the shadow hides.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
We gets on the line and cold is on deck
and keep the voice of the folks.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
DC tends us to get the bed of Buffy right up,
f stand and tall the white fine news with the
back poe voice of the Free Way stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
The boss of the Mocra.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Say there's some ray mother son show not away showing
call something.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
Like a resting gray.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
From the plays not the power. Damn, this is I
don't let you from.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Talk people.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
I know, hang on it.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, Now it sounds more as okay, I know, I know,
I know a movie you're like, But it's Friday. Guess what.
I got distracted because I've been trying to figure something
out for like two weeks because all of a sudden,
the mixed minus wasn't working around on the board and
I couldn't figure it out, and I forgot I have
a virtual mixer in place so I can use it

(03:26):
as the mixed minus, and I forgot the point the
damn free stream at that. So I think we might
have fixed some of the garble issue and the echo issue,
and we'll find out for sure later today as we
go on, because I'm sure if it starts screwing up
at any point in time, somebody's gonna let me know,
because you always do.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Anyway, Happy Friday.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
We're here. This is the three hour edition of the
Rick Robinson Show. But we're gonna be wrapping like straight
up at you know, uh, what is it?

Speaker 8 (03:51):
Noon?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
My time? So one? Because I have a conference call
that's supposed to start like right then. I told them
when I set up i'll be done by noon, so
we can you know, maybe do it, and they said
it for twelve to twelve thirty. But it's okay. This
could be really amazing news for us, and by us,
I mean actually all of us at Kilin Radio. So
for those of you that are so inclined, if you
have any juice left for prayers, we would appreciate them.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Today.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
There's kind of a big thing in the works for
us that could make things much different for us from
what I have heard of this group that I'm about
to be talking to anyway. So I hope everybody's having
a great Friday so far. But for everybody who's ringing
hands and clutching pearls and grabbing their handkerchiefs over Letitia James.

(04:39):
Let me remind you guys of something because and Jen
and I talked about this a little bit last night.
If you missed it, I do encourage you to go
back and listen to that one. The archive version of
this stuff will be up either later today or first
thing tomorrow, because I'm still playing catch up on all
the archives because I have a million and one other
things that I have to do besides all the other
stuff that I do. Yeah, some days are better than others.

(05:01):
I have for the for most of this week to
get as caught up as I have been, I've been
sleeping three hours again, just so you guys understand why
I may look a little more frazzled than usual today. Yes,
I'm doing the voice that Jean likes. So whatever you
sound like Kerma the Frog, that's all right. If you've
seen me on camera cheer dancing, apparently I kind of
look like him too, so maybe that's the thing. I

(05:26):
don't know. But for everybody who is wringing hands and
clutching pearls about Latitia James, are you guys just now
like waking up from coma's or you recovering from amnesia,
or you maybe feigning an amnesia, because uh yeah, problems
all around for this. So I'm gonna say this again.
I've been saying this for a while. If you're gonna

(05:47):
come for the King, you bet not miss because you
guys are acting like this is new. So even if
we go back to just Biden's term, Biden tried to
come for the King and missed, and so did Obama
before him. Remember CIAFBI collusion, honey traps for the campaign

(06:07):
trying to get it derailed, giving all the career, you know,
bureaucrats instructions to work against Trump as much as possible
and ignore directives, blah blah blah, while some of the
loyalists within the FBI, d OJ and everywhere else set
about to start trying to destabilize the actual transition first
and then the actual presidency. And let's not even get

(06:29):
started with Congress. Let's not forget Congress. Remember when he
was just a low representative Schumer, he got taken in
by a couple of Russian shock jocks who claimed they
had proof of how corrupt Donald Trump was and how
Imbetti was with Russian collusion. Now all of this has
come out over the last what now we're going on

(06:50):
what eight nine, ten years, and you guys still refuse
to believe it. So now you've got Trump. Even if
it is Trump, I don't really care getting James Comy indicted,
and again, Letitia James indicted at least of course, that's
the way you guys are spending the stories. I would
like to point out that you know each of them

(07:10):
have been indicted by federal grand juries. And yes I know,
because I've made the same argument. If a prosecutor wants
it done hard enough, they can indict a ham sand, which, however,
Kama not in today's current political climate, because I would
like to remind you that the dude that actually threw
a literal ham sandwhich at somebody was charged with assault,
did not in fact get indicted. So I'm not exactly

(07:31):
sure how much that holds water anymore. Now, why am
I bringing all this up Because y'all came for the
king and you missed. You came after him when he
was a candidate, You missed, you came after him when
he was president. You missed. You came after what he was,
after him when he when he was a former president,
and missed repeatedly. You tried to have him charged with

(07:52):
a total of ninety six felony charges. Most of them
have been, you know, either expunged or returned. You know,
you've got them for what the thirty four of the
same ones over and over and over again that everybody
knows was bs that happened. You know in Latitia James backyard.
You know the same lady who's screaming and yelling that
this this is just Donald Trum trying to weaponize the

(08:16):
government against me because I did my job as New
York Attorney General, your entire campaign speeches where I'm gonna
get you, sucker. It's impossible for you to be throwing
stones from the glass porta potty that you're currently residing in, ma'am.
Even if you're right, even if you're right, you can
out throw stones because you did it first. Biden did

(08:39):
it first, Obama did it first. That was the fa
portion of the game. Guess what we're now in the
finding out portion of the game. And in the words
of Gregory House, all I can say is, oops, I
don't care. I don't care. Don't talk to me about
weaponis unless they're until he's sending in ESU TAC units

(09:04):
with guns drawn to raid houses, drag people out, handcuff them,
throw them in the back of cars, and then purp
walk them. Because that's what Biden did to almost everybody
that he could that was affiliated with Donald Trump, over
and over and over again, and the media lapped it up.

(09:25):
And now all the media is like, oh my god,
this is terrible. This has never been this has never
happened before the history of American democracy. Okay, sure, jan sure,
It's never happened before in the history of American democracy

(09:46):
except for under Obama's presidency and again under Biden's presidency.
So I'm sorry if you're pissed off that now we've
gotten a turn at the finding out lever of power.
I'm sorry. I'm really not. I'm really not. So in

(10:14):
case you missed it, Time Magazine basically did a smear
of Donald Trump not getting the Nobel Peace Price, never
mind the person who actually got it. The headline and
the cover shot were all about Trump not getting the
Nobel Peace Prize apparently. I mean, I know that Donald
Trump is in fact not Hitler. Guess who did, in

(10:34):
fact make the cover of Time magazine None other than
Adolf Hitler. Guess who hasn't made it yet as far
as I know that guy. So if you need any
more proof from an actual leftist group that Donald Trump
is not Hitler, I think we might've just found it.
I'm just saying, just saying. All right, So we got

(11:00):
to talk about the shutdown still, So we talked about
it yesterday during an interview. Mister Schumer. I think it
was Schumer? Was it Schumer? I think I think I'm
trying I'm trying to remember. Did I just misidentify the

(11:21):
Senate critter I was yelling about a minute ago because
now I'm confused. Anyway, did I mention I'm sleep deprived,
so don't mind me too much? But yeah, so yeah,
Schumer shut down. There we go, Schumer shakedown. I knew,
I knew I could fire it off eventually, but I key,
I think I accidentally called the other guy Schumer. I
think it's isn't it Scheff? I think it's Scheff? Anyway,

(11:44):
I don't even know anymore. It doesn't matter. They act
the same, they almost kind of look the same, and
it doesn't matter. But yeah, so the Schumer Schumer shakedown
is continuing, and of course in an interview yesterday, he
pointed out that you know that each day this goes,
oh this is better for us, because the Republicans keep
looking worse and worse, And then of course c Span
dutifully trots out somebody claiming to be a Republican on

(12:06):
their call in portion and talk about how disappointed they
are in Johnson.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
Look, oh, we didn't do this, we didn't do this.
They did this.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
And all the people that are calling into all these
places and complaining, well, why doesn't Johnson bring the house back?
Because they did their job. They passed the clean cr
the same thing that has been voted on thirteen other
times and passed successfully. This is been passed thirteen out
of fourteen times. Now I'm gonna say it again, I

(12:48):
am no fan of CRS. I would be. I would
have been a lot less angry about everything that was
happening if our Republican friends were doing a better job
of messaging and saying, hey, look, we've done twelve twelve
of these things to get appropriations done properly, and they're
hung up for reasons, and that's why we need to
see our So trust me, I'm mad at Republicans too,

(13:11):
but not for the same reason that I'm met at Democrats.
Republicans have got to start working on their messaging because
even now they just suck at it all together, all
over the place. And I'm just done. I'm done because
we we handed them the worst democratic party in my lifetime,

(13:35):
and it just they just they just keep finding ways
to flub it up. So I have a question for you.
Is there a reason why the Dems want to keep
the government shut down so we know what's on paper?
The Democrats shut down the government to proby one point
five trillion dollars for illegal alien health care and funding

(13:57):
for NPR. Republicans aren't going to buy, and they shouldn't.
It's a wildly unpopular position. Congressional Republicans want to pass
a simple, clean, seven week cr so they can finish
twelve appropriations bills and hash out the final details of
healthcare subsidies set to expire in December. If Democrats didn't
nuke DC with their nonsense, an agreement might have been made,

(14:20):
or at the very least they could work on it
instead of getting wrecked by dying on the Hill of
bad publicity or I'm sorry, bad public policy. Democrats have
blocked efforts to reopen the government, and Schumer might be
doing this because he's afraid of the occasional cortex. This
is actually a quote coming from the Hill at this point.

(14:40):
The article we've been skimming so far, as from our
good friends over at town Hall, Matt Vespa. Here's a
direct quote from the article. Senator Mark Wayne Mullens, Republican
Oklahoma said Tuesday, the main reason Senate Democrat Leader Chucky Schumer,
New York rallied Democrats to defeat a Republican funding bill
and trigger a government shut down is because he's afraid
to face seeing a primary challenge from firebrand Rep Occasional

(15:03):
Cortex Acusio Cortez. This is a this is a Schumer
hysteria act, Mullen told Fox Business. Schumer knows he can't
afford to vote for this, referring to the House past
government funding stopgap Democrats defeated Tuesday. Here you have a
career politician who is more afraid of his re election
than he is doing what's right for the American people.

(15:26):
Mullen added, this is what happens when you have a
career politician. He's afraid of AOC over a clean cr
he said, referring to again the Occasional Cortex. The Oklahoma
senator alluded to the furious backlash Schumer felt from his
party's liberal base in March after he and nine other
members of the Senate Democratic Caucus voted for a Republican

(15:46):
drafted six month government funding bill. So I firmly believe
this is probably what's happening with that is he's trying
to run for cover from his crazy side. I don't care,
I don't care what the letter is behind your name.
We need to start sending people to Washington, DC that

(16:09):
actually want to do what's right by their constituency, and
we don't do that anymore. And that's the part that
has me the most frustrated about all of this, because
we keep winding up in these same positions and it's
always the same fight every single time. The only difference
is when it's the Republicans that are the minority party,
they're the ones that are like, well, we're not gonna
just keep handing out cash. When the Democrats are the

(16:32):
minority party, they're like, we're not going to sign this
unless you give us more cash. So I would like
to remind you that this is very akin to a
mafia henchman walking into a restaurant and say, hey, it's
a nice place. You got here, be ashamed of something
happened to it. You should pay us to make sure
nothing happens to it. That shit's illegal. Why is this
not illegal? For Congress? Congress is holding us hostage. We

(16:57):
are what five days away from miss paychecks for military families.
For TSA agents again said this yesterday on the TSA,
but on federal law enforcement agents. And I get most
of these people don't do these things for the pay
but they do expect to be able to get a paycheck.

(17:20):
So Chuck Schumer saying yesterday that every day this goes
on is better for us, just shows to me exactly
what little bit of a flip he gives for you,
the American people. Now, if this is working for you,
if him basically telling you that he doesn't care about
you well enough to actually do his job, and that's
what you're that's what you're gonna get behind, then at

(17:42):
this point I'm about to start washing my hands of
the whole damn country because at this point, y'all are
about to start getting what you've earned. This is why
everybody's mad at Kevin Stitt because he spoke out against
the mobilization of the Guard. I've said the same thing, though,
Now if Trump wants to do it, and Trump can

(18:03):
justify it, I'm not president, but he's the governor of Oklahoma.
He should be able to say. This might be a
bit of a slippery slope, folks, because it is what
happens when the pendulum swings back the other way and
all of a sudden, you've got let's just for the
sake of argument, say Gavin Newsom, sending National Guard troops

(18:24):
in to make sure boys can go into girls' bathrooms,
et cetera, because remember that was once the law of
the land too. Yes, it's a very broad generalization. I
understand we're talking about completely different things. But you guys
don't seem to understand how little the left actually gives

(18:44):
a damn about the rule of law until it's their
turn to supposedly give a damn about the role of law.
The only time they seem to give a damn about
the rule of law is when they're not the ones
in charge. Now, all of a sudden, it's states rights
blah blah blah blah blah. There's no but what about
states rights for people for people not wanting boys and
girls bathrooms? What about states rights for people not wanting

(19:05):
men in women's locker rooms in the gym? What happened?
What happened there? Gavin? What happened there? Pritz KERR? I
want my baby, my Jabi back, jab back, Jamie back.
I want my Jabi back, Jami back, Jabi back. Chicagos
got jb back, Ribs, they got jab back. Grim Sorry,
I had to be done, had to be done. You

(19:26):
can blame Jesse Water for that. One. I heard him
call him that the other day and it had been
stuck ever since. I have officially stolen it. No regrets. Okay,
so I don't normally plug these folks this much, but
since I'm completely off show notes for right now, I
have to tell you about something that happened yesterday. So,

(19:47):
as you guys know, I don't really watch Fox News
that much. I may have it on in the background sometimes,
usually while I've got you know, another channel playing through
YouTube or whatever, because I'm just looking to see if
anything pops as I'm doing show notes and research for
the MO I'll be honest, Normally I've got like Glenn
beck On, I've got stuff playing on YouTube, I've got
another channel on my TV, and I'm just kind of
going through and jotting down notes and feeding things in

(20:11):
to the production program that I used to start getting
notes lined out. And so yesterday watching The Five and
Gutfeld which again, the only reason I really pay attention
to The five Is and gutfeldt Show is because of
Gutfeld and because one of my clients actually gets to

(20:32):
play on his late night show all the time. So
I figure the more I promote that, the more likely
that show is to stay and it's good for one
of my clients, which is good for my bottom line.
So there's that. So yesterday they're doing they're talking about
this new gen Z trend of what they're now calling
hub sons because it's like adult or college age or

(20:54):
older sons that have stayed home that are living with
mom and then kind of taking care of mom and
doing household chores and this, that and the other. And
they called there, They're doing this whole segment and they
kept talking about these things. They were there their their
hub sons. So for those of you who don't know,
Guttfeld will normally do a an impression of brit Ume. Yeah,

(21:19):
you's the older one. For some reason, I get Britt
hum and Brett Baer confused. I actually had to check
last night because I was gonna talk about it with Jen.
I don't think we we did, but I don't think
I ever mentioned Britt by her name. But so he's
doing it. He's doing this impression of brit Ume and
then just kind of does the whole ramblely, you know,

(21:40):
in the in the voice of brit Ume thing that
he does, but then slows down and starts talking more slowly,
just to make sure that Mike picks up all of it.
And he's like back in MA day, we called these
boys that lived at home with their mamas homo sexuals.
I can't do a brit human impression to save my life,

(22:00):
but I swear to God, I had just opened a
monster because I had to work until midnight last night,
and I had already done day shift work and I
had just taken a sip. I thought I was gonna die.
I thought I was gonna die. I actually rafter. I
haven't checked out Glenn. I'll be I usually check him

(22:23):
out next day because I haven't been playing paying for
the Blaze for a while. So yeah, I just I
have to. I as we're building, I'm having to count
pennies because you know, there's other things that I need
to be investing in. So I can't always pay for
all the streaming new stuff that I want, or I
would have them all. I feel like ashketch them when

(22:45):
it comes to new stuff. Gotta catch them all. I
wish I could, But now that everybody's kind of splitting
off and doing their own streaming stuff, it's kind of
getting to be a pain. So anyway, but yeah, if
you have anything you want to add from that to
the chat, feel free. I don't know if we're you
know what, I don't. I don't know if we're gonna

(23:07):
do a break because I haven't even really even started
working on my notes yet. All right, so let's see
if we can power through. So let me get back
to the notes a little bit here. I would I mean,
I can't say I'm not. I haven't been in in

(23:28):
the notes at all. Okay, So I was looking for

(23:55):
the Tiss James stuff because I wanted to go into
that in a little more detail. Hang on. Sorry, Uh,
I thought we had some of it here. Maybe this
is it. Oh, so this is kind of funny. I
don't have the clip from CNN, but I've seen everybody
talking about it. So apparently CNN today was saying that
pretty much every American commits mortgage fraud. What I will

(24:20):
say about that is, I don't think a lot of
people realize they may actually be in fact committing mortgage fraud. Sorry,
I hit the wrong button. Hang on, because I've talked
about this myself, not necessarily with the mortgage, but with
the car note. To get us in the car, they

(24:43):
had us do some things that you know may or
may not have been quas illegal. So I will say
I'm kind of I'm willing to admit that it might
be happening more than anybody realizes. That doesn't make it right,
and somebody really needs to talk to the lineners about
that crap, especially if we're going to start using it
to go after people for like federal charges and shit,

(25:06):
this is not hang on pardon my language, by the way, too.
I've been working on that, but I am sleep deprived,
so maybe a little more than usual.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's
desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal
law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I
did my job as the New York State Attorney General.
These charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements

(25:40):
make clear that his only goal is political retribution.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Is that his only goal though, And even if it is,
does it really matter? Because I would like to remind
you you didn't exactly do your job as New York
Attorney General. I mean, you did what you campaigned that
you were gonna do. But when your entire campaign slogan
was I'm gonna get you, Succer. I'm not really buying

(26:07):
the the defiance here, ma'am, at any cost.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
The president's actions are a grave violation of our constitutional
order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.
His decision to fire a United States attorney who refused
to bring charges against me and replace them with someone
who is blindly loyal not to the law but to

(26:32):
the President is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country.
This is the time for leaders on both sides of
the aisle.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Miss I'm won't get you, succer wants to talk about principles.
Let's just let the irony of this moment sink in.
The woman whose entire campaign was and was basically stolen
from a movie title. I've said it before. Pretty cool
movie title, Really bad campaign slogan, really bad campaign slogan.

Speaker 9 (27:10):
To speak out against this blatant perversion of our system
of justice. I stand strongly behind my office's litigation against
the Trump Organization. We conducted a two year investigation based
on the facts and evidence, not politics. Judges have upheld

(27:34):
the trial court's finding that Donald Trump, his company, and
his two sons liable for fraud. I'm a proud woman
of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot
share the same space. And so today I'm not fearful.
I'm fearless and as my faith teaches me.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Okay, so I know I cut her off Friday. She
was about to make her no weapon formed against Michelle
prosper A moment. But here's the thing, folks, if you're
keeping up, you know, if you're playing the home game,
here's what we know. She indicated this would be a
second home for her personal use. She then, on her

(28:23):
tax returns, indicated that it was an investment property, and
then included write offs for seid investment property in her
tax return. So I have a question, wouldn't this technically
be mortgage fraud and tax fraud. I am not an accountant,

(28:45):
I'm not a tax attorney. But if you lied on
the mortgage application to save yourself like nineteen grand worth
of increased interest payments or whatever the hell it was,
and then took it is of a write off to
again shave some points off the money that eloed the
irs her, I'm thinking that might be a twoferst. So

(29:10):
why are we not embracing the power of end. I
don't know. I mean, Jenn, they went after him with
thirty four versions of the same damn thing. Why are
we not embracing the power of ND If we were
embracing the power of end, if they had sent in
armed people to raid her home, break stuff, throw her

(29:33):
to the ground, handcuff or throw it in the back
of a car, purp walked her with media watching the
entire time, then I might feel that this would qualify
as retribution. I mean, if it were retribution, I'm not
saying I would be bringing handkerchiefs. Popcorn, perhaps not handkerchiefs.

Speaker 9 (29:56):
Have been formed against me, shall prosper. We will fight
these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to
fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will
continue to do my job.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
And I will continue to do my job because it's
my job. Dude, Seriously, you haven't been doing your job.
Have you looked at the crime stats in your state? Woman,
And you want to talk to me about doing your job? Seriously?
I mean, granted, I mean we got to talk about
it because it's it's one of the bigger news stories.

(30:35):
But you know the problem is, we got to remind
everyone James previously prosecuted President Donald Trump for civil fraud
in New York. Trump's administration has investigated several public officials
for mortgage fraud, including Federal Reserve Reserve governor It's a
cook Lindsay Halligan US is Turney for the Eastern District

(30:58):
of Virginia announced that a federal jury returned an indictment.
Now again, remember federal grand jury returned an indictment charging
James with bang fraud under eighteen USC. Section thirteen forty
four and false statements to a financial institution under eighteen
US Section ten fourteen. Remember this, folks, No one is

(31:19):
above the law. Remember that that was How many times
did she say that during the trial for Trump? No
one is above the law. Well, guess what, No one
is above the law. Now you're still you're still innoc
until proven guilty, which is more than you gave Trump.
So because as far as you were concerned, he was

(31:41):
guilty from day one, day one. All right, So let's
see what else we've got on the hit parade. Give
me just second here. I should have realized something was
broken when the podcast app we use wasn't picking up

(32:04):
the sound. A should have known. I should have noted,
I should have noted. All right, So just because I
gotta cover the legal basis now that we're getting a
little bit bigger, and indictment is an allegation, not proof.
So again she's innocent until proven guilty. So again we're

(32:28):
going to be seeing dual narratives here from all the
leftist This is weaponization versus accountability. So keep that in
mind too, all right, So overnight there's still been continued

(32:53):
hope of the piece deal that Donald Trump has again
cobbled together. Now we've got all of Europe clamoring to
get in on the rebuild of Gaza. Where were we
all during the work part?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Where were we all doing the work part?

Speaker 8 (33:09):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Then we've got you know, a lot of people on
the right saying, well, Donald Trump should get the Nobel
Peace Prize for what he did. Look, I don't know
why he cares so much. Barack Obama got the damn
thing in two thousand and nine for doing like absolutely nothing.
So from to me, from that point forward, it didn't
mean anything. It basically became a participation trophy, like the

(33:32):
rest of the the damn prizes they hand out over there.
The Peace Prize used to be the one that mattered
because it was the one that where had you had
to show your work, you had to do all these things,
and then they just had they handed to the first
black president, like, oh my god, he's already done so
much to improve race relations around the world, he should
get the Peace Prize. Okay, sure, fun times, fun times,

(34:13):
all right, So we got to talk about this. What's
up with the Democratic campaigns imploding all over the place?
Did you guys? I mean, granted, I don't live in Virginia,
so I didn't really pay that much attention to the
debate because I was doing other work last night and
I don't live there. But it's making national news at
this point because spam Burger. I know her real name

(34:36):
is spam Burger. I call her spam Burger on purpose
because fake meat. Anyway, she got owned last night in
a lot of ways. Now, of course, her social media
team's trying to spin it a bit, and yeah, I

(34:56):
don't think it worked very well. So if you missed
it last night. Fellow contributor twitchy dot com, Grateful Calvin,
you can find him on x put out a hell
of a compilation of everything that happened last night, and
it was dude. Now. Now, granted, I mean there were

(35:18):
some back and forth, but some of the takeaway that
I got from everybody about this was even from dem
consultants spa Abby, uh, spammy at Abby spammy. Uh Yeah,
looks way too robotic, way too scripted. Pretty stiff wasn't
able to land any points very well, and especially when

(35:41):
she got called the task on a couple of key
points and what we'll have that stuff here in a second.
So there was in fact a clash of styles last night.
Span Berger pitched steadiness and suburban reassurance. Sears brought sharper
elbows and base energy. Voters didn't hear a new platform

(36:03):
as much as a test of tone. The metric to
watch is suburban women. They are this steering wheel here.
If you saw clip dancers on schools and safety, that's
not an accident. That's where the Persuader The Persuaders Live
series won the punch. But according to some dim insiders,

(36:23):
they feel like Spanburger, even though she might not have
carried the night completely, did work the poise pretty well,
which one matters more to the people who actually show up. Well,
all you gotta do if you live in Virginia's pay
attention to the yard signs and small dollar donations in
about a week. Yeah, so there's that. And again, you know, actually,

(36:53):
I think we may have a couple of Spamy Burger clips.
I think so, a couple of big ones. One of
the biggest takes takeaways from me last night was this one.
Though if I can get it to load, and right

(37:15):
now it doesn't seem like it's wanting to, so hang on.
Maybe it's because it's actually not a clip. But I
do have a quote from it though, even if I
can't get it a load as a clip. So in
the debate last night, spam spam Burger, Yes, I'm mispronouncing
it on purpose, refuses to say whether she still supports

(37:38):
Jay Jones despite his political violence text. Now, it's interesting
because earlier in the week she did distance himself from
a bit. But yeah, so here's a quote. Thank you.
I didn't hear any answer there on the endorsement issue,
So I just want to make sure we'll continue to

(38:00):
endorse j Jones to be the next Attorney General of Virginia.
And were you aware of these text messages before their release?
This was the moderator follow up. In fact, it appears
that it was the those who released the text messages
and held them for years to the so the public
was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages. Smamberger replied,

(38:25):
sounding rather Kamala esk in that moment, my opinion, reiterating
she'd denounced the messages the day they were publicly reported.
And importantly, at this point, as we move forward, the
voters now have this information, information that was withheld for them,
presumably for political reasons. But the voters now have the
information and it is up to voters to make an

(38:47):
individual choice on this information.

Speaker 10 (38:50):
Hope.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Okay. So bear in mind I did not did not
pay attention to any of this. And the reason I'm
reading through the transcripts is because it gives me, It
allows me to process things a little bit differently. And
oh my god, she's Vanilla Kamala. She's Vanilla Kamala the boat.

(39:18):
That whole thing was word salad express it con genues.
We're all running our individual races. I believe my opponent
has said that. Pardon me, I said that about her
Lieutenant governor nominee. She continues, it's up to every person

(39:38):
to make their own decision. I am running my race
to serve Virginia, and that is what I intend to do. She's, oh, Virginia,
you can do so much better than Vanilla. Kami Lama,
Holy crap. I wish I was a bigger account so
I could get that trending. I'm just saying, all right,

(40:01):
I lie, I guess we're gonna have to take a
break real quick so I can go figure out where
my dogs are barking at. We'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (40:21):

(46:12):
paper Let strong to op. It's my song.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
And welcome back into the final segment of the Big
Problems and show do me a favor wherever you're watching from.
If you're well, I know Andrew's driving, so I won't
yell at you for much if you can't do it,
but make sure you're sharing out the feet. I know
Andrew was hanging on YouTube earlier. I don't know if
he's still there or not, but make sure you're sharing
out the feeds. We are kind of exploding over on Spreaker,

(47:05):
and I don't really know why. We haven't really changed
much of anything, so I don't know if maybe maybe
they finally got popped for all their suppression because all
of a sudden we went from And keep in mind,
we're a group that typically does anywhere from shoot to
five shows a day, depending on the day of the week,
and there were times over the last month we got

(47:25):
thirty downloads on Spreaker for the entire group for the day. Yeah,
so lately last few days we've been hit anywhere between
eight hundred to two thousand a day. So maybe they
finally fixed something over at Spreaker. I don't know, but
it's one of the reasons why we've gotten the attention
of a bigger group that I'm going to be talking
to after we get on with the show today. So again, prayers,

(47:49):
positive vibes, whatever you got that would be awesome. This
has been I keep saying about a sixteen years long,
but I guess it's only been about fourteen because I
guess I didn't start the Facebook page until the beginning
of twenty ten. I rechecked my notes last night, so yeah,
I've been doing it, but I guess we're going on
fifteen now. I guess it has been fifteen now because

(48:12):
I keep anybody else still feel like this is twenty
twenty four. This is me, I find I like, yesterday
and day before, I've been catching up on archives, and
so I was like, I kept in the ones that
I was fixing because I always do a pre code
on them, so it makes it easier for me to
be able to find them when I'm going to upload
them elsewhere when I finish them, because I have so

(48:33):
many different files everywhere, And I kept realizing I was
putting twenty four and I'm like, if I've been doing
that everywhere and just no another thing anyway, maybe that
was just me. All right, So we got to talk
about this. We'll probably be talking about this a little
bit at the end of each hour. But thirty days ago,
a very terrible thing happened and a lot of folks celebrated,

(48:57):
but they didn't take into account one thing because they
were celebrating because they really thought that with the death
of Charlie Kirk that his ideas that the movement that
he built would go away, that it would just kind
of shrink into nothingness and they wouldn't have to deal
with it anymore. I hate to say it, but what's
happening with TP, with Turning Turning Point USA is very

(49:21):
much akin to remember the Star Wars episode four scene
where Vader and Obi Wan were sitting or standing on
the desk star Deck and He's like, if you strike
me down, I will come back stronger than you could.
I will be stronger then you could possibly ever imagine

(49:44):
something along those lines. That's kind of what's happening with
these folks, because we've gone from belligerent people on college
campuses to Turning Point USA chapters opening on all college campuses,
all high schools. Now, I'm not saying that some people
aren't getting pushed back, but I'm starting to wonder how

(50:04):
many of those people are doing that on purpose because
it's engineering good clicks for them. That's just an honest assessment.
But yeah, So we've gone from people being in overflow
rooms to church attendance exploding, especially among gen z all

(50:27):
within the last thirty days, especially gen z mails, which
is one of the reasons why despite all the leftists
and the supposed you know, Christians who understand the Bible
better than everybody else saying well, Erica Kirk could be
the leader of Turning Point USA, because that would go
against everything Charlie Kirk believed in. Yeah, no, no, it wouldn't. No,
it wouldn't. And notice she's doing all the behind the

(50:52):
scenes stuff anyway. But I think it is time for
Charlie's next phase, because he'd always intended, at least to
my understanding, to get the male youth involved and then
start chasing the female youth harder. And I've noticed they're
doing both now. But again, if he were still here,

(51:17):
I don't think they would be having near the impact
they are right now. And this goes back to something
that I firmly believe happened, because I do believe that
God is a worker of miracles, and I think at
some point he stood before Jesus and Jesus asked him,
do you want to go back? And the reason I
know this happens is because it happened to me once.

(51:38):
I don't talk about it much, but I've died on
the operating table now twice out of the four times
that I've had surgeries. This first time I was so young,
he's so young. I don't remember. Second time, I was
in the eighth grade at Madigan Army Hospital having reconstructive
surgery on my nose because of the infection that I
had when I was a kid, that is at my cartilage.

(52:00):
The first time, I had a reaction to anesthetic and
died on the table. And I have to admit I
didn't remember this at first. All I remembered was waking up,
coming back and basically trying to tell the doctors that
I couldn't breathe. And then I woke up again and

(52:26):
had a guy with a crash card standing over me.
But I remember a moment between the time that I
passed out the second time and the time that the
guy with the crash car was standing over me. Is

(52:48):
your work finished? Your knee? You want to go back?
I'm a kid. I didn't know how to answer that question,
and I told him I want to go back. I
firmly believe that this probably happens for nearly every person
who passes away, especially if it's you know, earlier as

(53:10):
the rest of the world may see it kind of
before their time, et cetera. And I think that happened
with Charlie Kirk, and I think Jesus looked Charlie Kirk's
were in the face and said, you know, I can
send you back if you want to go back. I
am a God of miracles, but let me show you
what happens if you stay. That would have done it

(53:38):
for me if I realized that by allowing what happened
to happen, everything that I had ever tried to build
would explode and just take off in a way that
I couldn't possibly imagine, because that's just it. We see

(53:59):
everything from a street level of you, of a parade.
God is everywhere, all at once, all the time, so
he sees everything everywhere, all at once, all the time.
So he was able to show because Charlie Kirk was
now absent from the body and present with the Lord.
I know Catholics feel like that doesn't really happen. People
go into purgatory. You've got other different denominations of Christians

(54:19):
that claim that you don't actually go to Jesus right away,
that you remain asleep. I can't believe that because then
I'm calling Jesus a liar. When he was on the cross,
the thief who recognized him. One of the last things
Jesus said before he said paid in full and Father

(54:44):
into your hands. That condmnt. My spirit is today. I
tell you you will be with me in Paradise. So
for everybody who says, well, you got to go through
purgatory first, because you gotta work on your stuff or
you're gonna remain asleep until Jesus comes back, that means

(55:05):
Jesus is a liar. I can't call Jesus a liar.
All right, that's gonna do it for the top of
the hour. But since we've already rolled through we didn't
take a break. We're gonna do this instead because I
forgot to do this in our one. So you guys

(55:31):
are gonna get your It's finally Friday Tribute after we

It's get reason?

Speaker 6 (01:00:56):
Did do it? It's man, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
My best many choice.

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
I said, ish, that's right, My bad.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Didn't actually mean to run that one. Sorry, I'm scrambling
through buttons here, and for some reason it was it
was looking like there might have been a bit of
an echo, but I wasn't showing anything come through, which
is weird because I thought I fixed it. Now it's
acting like maybe I didn't. So somebody who's listening right
now here in a second, if you could tell me
if there was any type, I know it might have

(01:02:27):
sounded weird for a minute. When I transitioned from one
video to the other, I've forgotten my phone in the
other room, so I couldn't do the usual Friday fight
song transitions that I do a smoothly because for some
reason Spotify didn't have them, which is weird because I
have Spotify for some reason YouTube music. It keeps part

(01:02:49):
in me telling me that I have the option to
install a desktop app which would allow me to basically
do what I do for my phone. But then every
time I tell it yes, I can't ever seem to
fight it. I don't know what's going on with it,
but anyway, but we had to open an hour two,
especially with the fight song because it is ou Texas

(01:03:09):
weekend if you missed it. Last night, Jen and I
were a house divided, and thanks to improvements to equipment,
we were actually able to deck out the studio a
little bit. I still got to work on getting the
graphics a little bit better because the tool that I
use was arguing with me about being able to use
the actual graphics or not. So we found a creative
way to do it. But it was fun. We did

(01:03:31):
our usual gentleman's bet tomorrow two thirty our time I
think the game starts. I'm not going to talk that
much about it because I don't want to jinx it
because I don't know if my tears coming back or not,
and if he doesn't, I'm not sure. But then again,
according to Jen, Texas's O line has been yeah this year.

(01:03:51):
But I will say this, they're coming off of a
loss and facing us. They're going to be made. So
I really hope I don't have to give out the
Texas yell and listen to the Texas fight song next
Thursday night. But I guess we'll find out tomorrow. So anyway,
back into the program, don't forget we have. Hey, Alan,

(01:04:13):
didn't see you come in there. Thank you for letting
me know that you didn't hear an echo because I
wasn't sure because, like I said, the So for those
of you who don't know what I'm talking about, because
I you've never used restream, you're like, I don't even
know what you're talking about. So there's a spot in
the corner that shows whether sound is playing through, and
they've turned it and they've turned it into this little
green ring that lights up anytime sound is coming through.

(01:04:35):
So during the OU fight song, both my mic panel
one and the video panel one was lighting up, but
when I hovered over mine, it wasn't showing anything coming through.
So I'm wondering if it may still try to trigger it,
but it's being canceled out now that I have the
setting fixed. So anyway, sorry, just processing out loud. Don't

(01:04:56):
mind me back to the program, dude. So let's talk
about some of the other stuff going on in the news.

(01:05:26):
So in case you've missed it, there's still kind of
being buried by everything else. But there's still a lot
of chatter going on about Operation Arctic Frost. So we've
got all kinds of things going on there. And what
we're talking about with that is a bunch of documentation

(01:05:47):
that has been shown to be looks like items that
are being reported by reputable sources and outlets but disputed
by principles and label. So so there's that. Sorry, I

(01:06:17):
think some of my notes weren't a little sideways, and
I didn't catch it this morning. This is what happens
when I'm trying to do stuff while sleep deprived. So
hang on, all right. So let's circle back around to
the Trump Nobel Peace price thing. When even folks like
the Washington Post are saying it, I'm the same. So WAPO,

(01:06:40):
even after owner Jeff Bezos shakeups, is anything but a
publication friendly to Republicans or the Trump administration, but even
members of the legacy media sometimes have to admit the obvious.
One of those is Washington Posts Mark Athisan, who on
Thursday penned to Peace making the case for President Trump
being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This isn't a new notion.

(01:07:03):
That idea has been being kicked around before, but the
calls seemed to be getting louder. Not only does Donald
Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but there has arguably never,
arguably never been an American president who deserves it. More,
four of his predecessors have won the prize. Barry won
it seven months into his presidency, essentially for not being Bush,

(01:07:26):
and even he said he didn't deserve it. Woodrow Wilson
won for creating the League of Nations, which proved to
be a feckless disaster that the United States never even joined.
Theodore Roosevelt won for ending a single conflict, the Russo
Japanese War, which began with Japan's nineteen oh four attack
on the Russian fleet in Manchuria. Japan later launched a

(01:07:50):
full invasion of Manchuria in nineteen thirty one, and then
a surprise attack on the US in nineteen forty one.
Jimmy Carter I forgot about this one in two thousand
and two to more than two decades after leaving the
White House for a lifetime of work in peacemaking, beginning
with the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt. Okay,

(01:08:11):
so contrast this with Trump's record. However, in his first term,
Trump broker not one, not two, not three, but four
Israeli Arab peace accords, the first such agreements in more
than a quarter century. He did it by rejecting the
failed conventional wisdom of foreign policy establishment, which said that
there could be no separate peace without the Palestinians, and

(01:08:35):
that moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and confronting Iron's
aggression would inflame the religion or the region and put
peace probably for out of reach forever. Those moves did
the opposite. The Abraham Accords alone were an achievement worthy
of a Nobel prize. And again because of the Abraham Accords,

(01:08:59):
Hamas was so pissed off by all of that that
is predominantly one of the triggers for the war that
he's now trying to spin down between Israel and Gaza.
Just winding that out and as I said earlier, pardon me,
the peace price hasn't been on that much since they

(01:09:19):
gave one to a ya Era Fat, but this could
have redeemed it to some extent at least now. It's
unlikely the President Trump's name will ring any bells in Oslo,
And honestly, it's unlikely the President will be terribly disappointed
or surprised if Oslo foregoes giving him that honor that

(01:09:39):
he so clearly deserves. Nobel or no nobel, the president
has done what he has done. He's not negotiated the
aforementioned Arab Israeli peace agreements. He's not only sorry negotiated
the aforementioned peace agreements, but has also driven piece ofments

(01:10:00):
between the democratic and democratic and Democratic Republic of Congo
and Rwanda, between Thailand and Cambodia, between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
and may well have prevented a war between two nuclear
power powers, you know, those little tiny countries known as
India and Pakistan. While not strictly speaking a peaceful action,

(01:10:24):
the president's destruction of Iran's nuclear capacity can only be
seen as a net positive for world peace as well.
So and again credit for the last couple of paragraphs
goes to Ward Clark from Red State, but I couldn't
put it in anybody if I tried, so I just
read his bit. You guys can check out the entire

(01:10:45):
article here in a bit, I'll put it out on
my x feed. I really wish that everybody's format was
the same, because Red State does it pretty well because
there's stuff to put. Everything out is at the bottom,
some of them are not. I kind of wish that
was the case because it would make my job so
much easier as somebody who wants to give credit to
where I get some of my topics, especially because I

(01:11:08):
happened to work for the same group as town Hall
and one of my other gigs. So let's talk about
who actually won the Nobel Peace Prize, because it has
been awarded, so the talk about it at this point

(01:11:29):
is is past due. It's over. Doesn't matter that he
didn't get it anymore, but let's find out who did
in case you missed it, which makes the fact that
Time magazine did their whole cover and title of the
piece as a slam against Trump makes this even more delicious.

(01:11:55):
So the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to none other
than Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corona Maschado. I'm sorry, I
guess over there it's called Mikado. I don't know. And
announcing the decision on ex the Norwegian Nobel Committee said
Mikado earned the honor for her tireless work promoting democratic

(01:12:15):
rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle
to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy, aren't you. Nobel Committee
chairman the Jorgen Wattini Friednis explained that Mikado meets all

(01:12:38):
the criteria Alfred Nobel laid out in his will, which
says the award should be given to the person who
shall have done the most or the best work for
humanity between nations, and the abolition or reduction of the
standing armies, and the formation and spreading of peace. She

(01:13:01):
has brought her country's opposition together. Freedan has said she
has never wavered in resisting the militarization of Venezuelan society.
She has been steadfast in her support for a peaceful
transition to democracy and I quote as the leader of

(01:13:22):
the democracy movement in Venezuela. Maria Corina Mikado is one
of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage and Latin
American and Latin American recent times. Miss Mikado has been
a key unifying figure in a political opposition that was
once deeply divided, an opposition that found common ground in
the demand for free elections and representative government. This is

(01:13:45):
precisely what lies at the heart of democracy, our shared
willingness to defend the principles of popular rule even though
we disagree. At a time when democracy is under threat,
where exactly said I feel like that was a jab?
Anybody else feel like that was it? I feel like
that was a jab? How exactly is democracy under threat?

(01:14:08):
When Donald Trump's doing everything you can to save democracy
around the world. Just pointing that out, just pointing that out.
I mean not to put too fine a point on
it or try to be all cranky about it, but
are you kidding me? So this leads me to the

(01:14:29):
next thing I want to talk about. An hour or two,
we may circle back to some of this stuff when
Brad is on, because it is all about it's sucking
up all the oxygen in the new cycle. But remember
when where's the peace neck crowd, where's the squad? Where
are they with the cheering that peace is ringing out

(01:14:51):
in Hama's territory today? Where are they talking about the
fact that both Israeli and and Hamasians because I refuse
to call them palace did or what gosins because I
refused to call them the other word is, we're all
celebrating the same thing at the same time. Where are
those folks at? Where's all the Thank God, the guns

(01:15:13):
are going to be silenced again and people can sleep
and the cities can rebuild. But where are you at?
Where are you at? It's kind of quiet, it's kind
of quiet. It's almost like y'all didn't actually give a
damn about any of this at all. It was just
a great talking point. Where's all the agitators, all the
people that were claiming that, you know, that Trump was

(01:15:33):
trying to make it worse because Trump was actually a
lapdog for the Jews. Where's all the agitators at? Where'd
y'all go? Where'd y'all go? Because around here we went
from here and y'all, you know, making all kinds of
noise and screaming and yelling and lighting stuff on fire
and chasing people around through colleges to a bunch of this,

(01:15:56):
a bunch of this right here. Where'd y'all go? Where'd
y'all go? Because this is all I'm hearing? All right there,
that's all I'm hearing. Where'd y'all go?

Speaker 6 (01:16:05):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Where'd you go? Funny how that works, ain't it? You
scream and yell about how unfair everything was and how
terrible everything was, and how this was all Trump's fault
and blah blah blah blah blah. And now we are
sitting here with you saying absolutely nothing, just pointing that out.

(01:16:32):
So again, where'd you go? All right? So we haven't
gotten to this yet, but we need to because there's
been a story that's been going around in Oklahoma here
for a bit. So apparently there was a seventeen year
old that was removed from her parents, their parents' custody.

(01:16:58):
That was an ouh spit. So I don't know what
happened there. I don't know what happened there, but I
I really want to know who thought that was a
good idea and why they decided to do that, because yeah,

(01:17:22):
it's been It's been the talk here all over the place.
Lee Matthews was talking about it yesterday on one of
the local channels here, one of the last one. M
one of the one of the last ones that actually
does live local around here, because there's really not much

(01:17:45):
left of that. But anyway, so, yeah, I have questions
about that one, I really do, and I'm not getting

(01:18:07):
very many answers. I've been reaching out, I'm not finding
out much. So okay, so I gotta so hang on.
I don't mean to change tax real quick. I'm gonna
I may come back to that later or maybe on
rails on Monday. I don't know, because I'm confused by

(01:18:30):
this one. So this just came out. If we go
by the Eastern time clock, it's been out for about
thirteen minutes by my assessment here. The United States Senate
late Thursday passed the nine hundred and twenty four point
seven billion dollar National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year

(01:18:51):
twenty twenty six. The measure passed the Senate by seventy
to twenty vote. Last month's version passed in the House
of Representatives or last month's version passed in the House
of Representatives last month with a lower bottom line. The
GOP led chamber approved the National Defense Authorization Acts seventy

(01:19:13):
to two I'm sorry, seventy to twenty, aiming to fund
the US military at nine hundred and twenty four point
seven billion dollars in fiscal year twenty twenty six. The
vote came after lawmakers reached a deal earlier in the
day to unlock the stalled legislation. The bill's passage allows
the House and Senate Armed Services Committee to begin the

(01:19:34):
sometimes our DUIs conference process, during which lawmakers hammer out
a compromise between each chambers. Version of the legislation. House
version of the NDAA, passed last month, has a much
lower top line at nearly eight hundred and ninety three
billion dollars. A lot of President Trump's and Secretary of
Warp texas ambitious plans for the United States Armed Forces

(01:19:56):
will depend on the bill passing both the House and Senate.
We should I also note that this bill is moving
even though there is an ongoing government shut down, which
is why I mean, you can see me on camera
if you're I'm sitting here like actually visibly scratching my head.
So y'all can agree to do that seventy to twenty.

(01:20:19):
But you can't agree to keep the government open and
then fight about healthcare later. Because I'm gonna be honest,
we got to figure out something about healthcare, we really do.
Obamacare broke it, and that's the truth of it. But
I talked about this yesterday. Obamacare broke it by design.
We weren't paying, we weren't paying enough attention. And then

(01:20:43):
they passed as what was it, thirty five hundred page
monstrosity with gam gam Pelosi saying we had to pass
it to find out what was in it, and everybody
just kind of went along, Well, it's supposed to save
us fourteen hundred dollars a year, Rick, and then at
one point they talked about it saving like four thousand
dollars a year. Can somebody explain I've been asking this
question all week. Please somebody tell me if you have
an answer, why is it and how is it that

(01:21:05):
with these current extra subsidies that they're fighting over, a
family making six hundred thousand dollars a year can qualify
for the Affordable Care Act subsidies for their healthcare. You know,
we could fix healthcare almost immediately. Nobody wants to talk
about how to do it, but we could you know
what you know?

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
What you do?

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
You start making people share with you what their pricing
points are, because you know how many people I've heard
stories like this from There was a new story a
couple of weeks ago about a family that had just
gone through labor and delivery. They received the bill from
the hospital and was like seventeen to five. They wrote
the hospital back and said, hey, we're going to be

(01:21:46):
paying cash. They then received a bill for twenty five
hundred dollars at a payment plan. Now you told me
where fifteen thousand dollars when? Because they were paying cash.
Let me tell you what's happening with hospitals and insurance companies.
So what's happening is hospitals are figuring out that the
being counter with the insurance companies are going to do
everything they can to fight tooth and nail and not

(01:22:08):
have to pay the entire bill. Which is why when
you go to the hospital it's fifteen dollars for a
tail and all and twelve dollars for an asp one
singular because they've had the bill when it's the insurance company.
But here's here's where this gets interesting because I don't
think this is a dot anybody's connected yet. So you've

(01:22:30):
got the hospitals padding the bills to try to make
up for the folks that they know are not going
to be able to pay their bills anyway. So they're
marking things up by two, three, four, five hundred percent,
knowing the being being. Counters are going to counter and
come back with maybe two hundred and fifty percent of
what they're actually looking for, which gives them one hundred

(01:22:51):
and fifty percent above the actual cost of the procedures
and everything else. And then they can still go back
to the federal government hat in hand and be like, hey,
this person couldn't pay. Can we see if eligible for
federal Medicaid or federal Medicare or whatever we can do
to get this bill paid. That's another really good question.

(01:23:14):
As much as I hate math, the one thing I
will say is we should never trust the government's math
on anything, because if you ever noticed, the price tags
always go up. I mean, look, in so many ways,
we're not even a republican republic anymore. I talked about

(01:23:34):
some of this yesterday, with senators being appointed through statewide
popular vote now or elected instead of being appointed by
the states. I took away the voice of leadership from
the states into the legislative process for the country. Can
you imagine how much differently everything would be running today
if basically the state legislators and the governors actually were

(01:23:55):
the ones that were, you know, putting the screws to
the senators to get things done. But we screwed up.
But we screwed up. But it gets even different because,
and I've talked about this before, we've had progressive income

(01:24:15):
tax through amendment since what nineteen to thirteen, I believe
Before that happened, we had the most republic version of
funding possible. States paid for most of the stuff. Because
it was illegal for the federal government to directly tax

(01:24:38):
the citizenry, it was not illegal for states and municipalities
to do it. So there were moneies that were paid
from the states to the government for certain things. For
everything else, there was tariffs, and there were treasury bills,
so Congress may have had control the purse. Technically speaking,

(01:25:04):
Congress also got to write the bills that determined where
the money that they were supposed to have access to
was apportioned, because that's their constitution rights. That's what the
Constitution says they're supposed to do. But here's the problem
with that. Even after Congress got the bills passed into

(01:25:27):
law abortion the funding, they still had to go through
with their abbacus and make sure that they had all
the money they needed to be able to fund it.
And if they didn't, they had to come back to us. Please, sir,
we would like to fund this particular project, and with
your help we can do so. Could you please consider
possibly purchasing some treasury bills so that we can continue

(01:25:49):
to fill our coffers and fund these particular projects. And
if you liked the idea, you supported it with your pocketbook.
If you didn't, you didn't. So Congress makes the laws,
Congress sets the budget. Congress apportions the budgets. We had

(01:26:14):
pocketbook veto. We don't has that anymore. We don't have
that anymore because they took it away when they made
us the batteries for the very machine that most of
us are trying to find ways to fight every single day.
Just pointing that out, all right, So, because it is

(01:26:35):
Friday and we've got some tributes to work in, we
are going to have to take a break. So bear
with me for just a second while I get that
queued up. We've got lots more to talk about, so
I'm glad we do have the hour three with Brad because,
like I said, the news topics are basically staying the
same for the last few days. Oh and the governor's
race in California that keeps getting more entertaining. Like I said,

(01:26:56):
there's like democratic campaigns imploding and exploding all over the place.
You got the age in Virginia. That race is kind of,
you know, gone a little wonky, shall we say, spent
again Spamburger last night, And I know I said her
name wrong on purpose, hate me for it later. If

(01:27:18):
you choose Spamburger, you know, basically got owned in a
couple of different ways last night. And I think I
did find some of those clips, so we may play
those with Brad. I don't know, all right, So we
are going to get ready to take that break. There's

(01:27:42):
a specific song I'm looking for and I'm not finding
it anymore, and it's annoying. I really liked it because
it was one of the only ones that talked about dispatchers,
and I'm not finding it anymore. But I don't have
time to see here and keep scrolling through. So let's
just pick one. I don't played this one in a while,

(01:28:09):
and it's a George Street, so I think we're going
to go with this one. We'll be right back.

Speaker 17 (01:28:38):
You have people that 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.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
And we have seen I have seen.

Speaker 17 (01:28:51):
Throughout my career. I have seen it here locally where
a police officer didn't go home. They kissed her loved
ones goodbye and that was the last time they saw him.
And sometimes I don't think we realize.

Speaker 1 (01:29:12):
The impact.

Speaker 17 (01:29:15):
That this job is heading our families who let little
of ourselves. That's a heavyweight. That's heavyweight to the badge.

Speaker 6 (01:29:25):
It's gonna be a long one.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
Another graveyardship.

Speaker 11 (01:29:31):
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids.

Speaker 6 (01:29:37):
It's been his life, just like his dad's driving away
under the weight of the badge. You've seen it all
and it's fifteen years watching our backs. He's a knife f.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
Lord knows in aid.

Speaker 5 (01:30:04):
No easy task.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
YEA, even us say, under the weight of the.

Speaker 6 (01:30:11):
Bad swollen to protect dancer purses, heart and soul into
both those words. Lazys life.

Speaker 8 (01:30:29):
On the line, the line of walks, his rais or fat.

Speaker 19 (01:30:39):
Every time he goes, I'm 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. That's the biggest weight.
And I feel like a lot of times when he
leaves and I give him ahaggat to kiss goodbye, I
always hold on to him for an extra couple of seconds,
just because.

Speaker 12 (01:31:01):
You said I'm gonna beyond, and there's just sometimes you
gotta fly.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
And the truth is nothing through goodnies.

Speaker 20 (01:31:13):
I'd do it for us, and I'd do it for them,
and I ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge.

Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
So for me, the weight of the badge is the
weight of the pager.

Speaker 9 (01:31:28):
When the tones go off, the emergency comes in and
you're going.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
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. But after you have a long day
at work.

Speaker 5 (01:31:49):
Your heart is still heavy because of what she's.

Speaker 21 (01:31:51):
Thinking 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 the firehouse, talking with
the chief and another department, and we're talking about seeing.

Speaker 6 (01:32:10):
Your part.

Speaker 21 (01:32:11):
I'm going the way.

Speaker 20 (01:32:19):
Of the band, and you are going to buckle.

Speaker 6 (01:32:28):
Under the way of the bag.

Speaker 8 (01:32:37):
No way, ain't going to buckle.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Under the ways.

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
Oh the bed.

Speaker 22 (01:32:53):
It's a sense of service, really, that weight. It's a
sense of service to the people. I'm very, very hopeful.
And uh, I'm an optimist. I think most of us
are optimist in this job because really we want to
do what's right and what's good for the people. And uh,

(01:33:14):
stumble and fall, just get up, dust yourself off, and you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
Keep me.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
And welcome back into the program, ladies.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
And I had a frog in my.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
Even not making it any better, not making it any better.

Speaker 18 (01:33:43):
Yeah, so I have fun Ano the government was shut
down another now it's an appropriation bill, so I don't
necessarily we're still passing appropriates. Go, why do we need
to see r in the first place?

Speaker 5 (01:34:02):
Just past.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
I mean, I'm not trying to put.

Speaker 10 (01:34:11):
I'm literally by what is happening right now? Yes, because
it's like suddle and doin together, confuzzled.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
I don't get it. Why do we need to see
our ask?

Speaker 10 (01:34:27):
You just get off your asses and pass the appropriate
for twenty six and I can go back to finding
about help?

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Am I?

Speaker 6 (01:34:37):
Is it just me?

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Am? I the only one that's confused by the fact
that the Senate is still conducting business during a shutdown
and that they were able to agree to vote for
that one seventy to twenty, but they can't get past
the filibuster. Okay that I got nothing? I mean okay,

(01:34:58):
So this takes everything that the Democrats were claiming they
were trying to do with this shutdown and turning it
on its head because you just funded the military. The
granted is gonna take a minute to kick in because
the price tags were different, So now they got to

(01:35:19):
go through reconciliation or whatever the hell they got to do.
But the same time, I'm just like what that I
may have a stroke in the final twenty minutes of
this particular hour. It's a good thing Brad's coming on soon,
because I got I got nothing. I can't even make
this make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
I just you.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
You you're screaming and yelling that you're shutting down the
government because you want one point five tillion dollars, but.

Speaker 4 (01:35:47):
You just.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
Voted overwhelmingly to pass the military appropriations. Make it make sense?
And it's planning to me like I'm five, because apparently
I am tired enough today that I needed explained to me,
like I'm five. This is nuts. I still sorry, I'm

(01:36:14):
still randomly going back to the snippets I was reading
about spam Burger and how she reminds me of Vanilla
Kami Lama. Okay, so we got to talk about this yesterday,
so or from yesterday. So a Biden appointed judge has
dropped our blocked temporarily President Trump from deploying National Guard
from any state to Illinois on Thursday, citing concerns that

(01:36:37):
it could lead to more civil unrest. The block is
at the last of total of fourteen days. So there
is and I quote, there is overwhelming evidence submitted that
the provocative nature of ICE's enforcement activities, the repeated cause
tdutional violations, has itself caused a significant increase in protest activity.
She said. Judge Perry on Monday had declined to him

(01:37:00):
immediately blocked the National Guard deployment. During oral arguments, a
lawyer for the Trump administration, Eric Hamilton, characterized the deployment
as a limited mission, solely defending federal property and federal agents. However,
he was unable to say that the troops would remain
limited to those responsibilities. My question is why couldn't he
say that. I mean, I'm sorry, I am on Trump's

(01:37:25):
side more often than not lately, but I have concerns
as to why the attorney arguing the case couldn't say, oh, yeah, no,
We're only going to use them for that. So so
Perry said, this is very much that she is very
much struggling to figure out where the deployments whatever stop.
Hamilton continue to argue that President Trump can federalize the

(01:37:45):
National Guard when there is a rebellion or danger of
rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States,
or when the president is unable with the regular forces
to execute the laws of the United States. Much of
the hearing was focused on finding rebellion and regular forces
in order to determine if conditions on the ground met
those criteria. Judge Perry ultimately called into recent cases where

(01:38:11):
the Department of Homeland Securities actions and version of events
were questioned, even arguing that there was growing evidence that
DHS perceptions of events are simply unreliable. The judges ordered
the National Guard of the United States, whether from Texas
or any other of the other fifty states, should not
be deployed within the state of Illinois. Illinois Attorney General

(01:38:35):
Kauwame Raoul, I'm sorry, I don't have that probably makes
me sound terribly racist, but come on, man said on Thursday.
Is up to the defendants to make certain that they
abide by the judges order. The Trump administration has signaled
that it will appeal the ruling. Again, putting this one

(01:38:59):
out on in case you want to read through it later,
because I just kind of skimmed it, but just pointing
this out, I have legitimate concerns as to why the
antorney couldn't say, yeah, they're only really gonna be protecting
federal property. Yeah, and even if that's the case, because

(01:39:29):
Raptor just pointed out in the chat, I think kind
of being tongue in cheek that they're gonna pay the military,
so let's take over the cities but not fund anything else.
Even if that's the case that was overwhelmingly supported by
Democrats seventy to twenty, which I'm confused by that math too.
I guess some people must have abstained or something. And Andrew,

(01:39:53):
that's a good point. I haven't seen the language and
the bill. I wonder how much. Maybe that's why there
says a difference in the price tag between this in
the House version is the fact that there's a lot
of Democrats fluffing there. So valid points, but still still
we're in the middle of a shutdown? Are we shut down?

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
Are we not?

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
This goes back to everything else that I've been talking about.
Where are the Red penn Brigades? Where is Russ Voyd
walking through the halls in Washington, d C? And the
grim Reaper cloak with the side saying you gotta go,
you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta get out.
We're choving this whole part right here, because I have
the questions again, where and how did it become okay

(01:40:36):
for the federal government, the government of these United States
of America, to fund man and support non essential services.
Now I get it, it's confusing when I make this
argument about, you know, turning things over to the private
sector because that doesn't ever work well either, because these

(01:40:57):
public private partnerships. You know what, I wouldn't be so
broke if these public private partnerships ever worked out. And
I said this earlier today, if all of the people
that managed to get their hooks into our federal government
could stop acting like they have the biggest, bestest, blankest,
coolest check that they could just fill any dollar amount in,
you know, the blank check thing. If they could stop

(01:41:18):
acting that way, you and I wouldn't be so broke.
We wouldn't be fighting so much about how much money
our government has versus what it doesn't have. If people
would stop acting is if our federal government has limitless,
bottomless pockets. I understand, there's like what eight, nine, ten
computers that they can just fire up at any random
time one of those things and generate a bunch of

(01:41:39):
ones and zeros that pumps billions of dollars out into
the American economy. But guess what happens every time they
do that. The value, the dollar value of the ones
that are already in circulation appreciate even more because there's
nothing backing them anymore. The reason our currency used to
be so strong is because it was tied to something tangible,
which meant you had to limit the amount that was
in circulation based on the amount of the thing that

(01:42:01):
it was tied to that you had access to at
any given time. This is why people used to be
able to be paid minimum ways in the sixties of
a dollar and a quarter. This is back when quarters
were silver. You know what the if quarters were still
silver today, you know what the value would be for
five silver quarters the way they made them in nineteen

(01:42:23):
sixty something, thirty four dollars and some change. This tells
you the value of what a dollar and a quarter
was back then versus today's money. Because it was tied
to something tangible. We got rid of that was that

(01:42:45):
was one of the biggest mistakes ever. The other was
deciding that we needed this damn thing called the Federal Reserve.
The reason I've been excited about Scotis spinning back up
for this term is I'm pretty sure all of that
is about to come to a head because we have
what I like to call Schrodinger's Bank right now because,

(01:43:05):
depending upon who you ask and where you are, you
have the Federal Reserve existing as two separate entities at
the same time, depending on your perspective, it is either
a private bank wrapped in a flag giving it the
illusion that that is some sort of a federal bank,
or it is a branch of the federal government. It

(01:43:31):
cannot technically be both, but until it is decided, it
is what I like to call Schrodinger's bank, because until
a decision is made, it is in fact both, depending
upon who you ask, Because we now live in a
world where the truth is malleable, that's my biggest problem.
The truth has always been the truth. Just because your

(01:43:52):
perception of the truth might be different, it doesn't mean
the truth has changed. It means your perception of it
has changed. And one of the biggest problems that we've
run into in this entire country is the fact that
we have now turned opinion into that when you talk
about changing from the truth to my truth, or fight

(01:44:13):
for your truth or this is all about living your truth,
you're talking about up jumped opinions, kind of like the
occasional cortex, the up jumped barista who's a congress critter
who now has ambitions to become a senator, kind of
like Slavey Crockad who thinks that because she has the
largest social media following in Congress, she should get all
the cool cabinet assignments because she has reached YO. This

(01:44:41):
is this is, this is what we're fighting against. The
stupefication of America is nearly complete, and it's our own
damn fault. There's a reason that one of the new
communist buzzwords is centralization, because works. The more things you

(01:45:02):
try to centralize and keep under tight control of a
specific group of people these year, it is to manipulate.
Look what happened to our education system. Look what happened
to our education system? As just one example, please and
thank you. Okay, So I gotta figure this out. Back

(01:45:34):
to the Charlie Kirk thing, which is interesting because I
said I actually wanted to close on it in both
of the normal show hours before we handed things over
to Brad. And then we're gonna probably go ahead and
do the military tribute so I can save more time
with Brad, assuming Brad is available, because I haven't heard
from him yet. But I haven't checked my DMS in

(01:45:57):
a minute either. So according to town Hall, this is
put out by Jeff Charles. The Texas Attorney General is
investigating a particular app after the assassination of Charlie Kirk,
which happened one month ago. Today, Texas Attorney General Ken
Paxton is austin investigation into the Discord messaging app after
it was revealed that the alleged assassin of Turning Point

(01:46:20):
USA's Charlie Kirk used it before the shooting. Paxton made
the announcement in a post on x in which he
said Discord has chosen to allow extremist content, sexual exploitation,
and addiction to flourish on its platform. I don't know
I feel about this. Paxton is expanding the Securing Children

(01:46:41):
Online through Parental Empowerments scope ACKs investigation to include Discord
after reports suggesting the alleged assassin used the platform. According
to a press release, he cited other reports noting that
the platform is addictive and exposes miners to sexual exploitation.
I'm standing shoulder to shoulder with the Trump administration to

(01:47:01):
root out and defeat nihilistic violent extremism in all its forms.
According to Paxton, the investigation will examine the content on
Discord's platform and its role in contributing to the radicalization,
sexual exploitation, and addiction of minors. The press release explained,
Tyler Robinson, the suspected assassin, reportedly used the Discord app

(01:47:23):
to communicate with his significant other hours before police arrested him.
It was me at UVU yesterday, He allegedly wrote, I'm
sorry for all of this. Discord stated that he found
no evidence that Robinson used the platform to plan the attack,
but reports indicated that he discussed hiding and possibly retrieving
the rifle he used to carry out the attack. This
comes after Paxton announced on Tuesday that he was launching

(01:47:46):
an undercover operation aimed at infiltrating and disrupting leftist terocels
in Texas. Can you send some folks in to deal
with that whole muzzy enclave you got brewing in Texas too?
Might want to do it, Might want to do that.
We talked about that yesterday. If you're not sure what
I'm talking about. This is a response to an escalation

(01:48:08):
into violent attacks against immigration and customers enforcement agents and
the broader trend of left wing violence in America. Discord
came under scrutiny after white supremacists used it to plan
the Charlotte Charlottesville Unite the Right rally in twenty seventeen.
The event resulted in the death of a counter protester
after an attendee rammed into her and others during the demonstration.

(01:48:31):
All right, so this goes back to remember the previous
story we were just talking about with the judge that
was like, I'm not even sure we can trust what DHR,
DHS and DJ are saying about this stuff. And I
thought I shared it with you already. Sorry, I'm realizing it.

(01:49:00):
Something I tried to post a Brad didn't go through.
So that explained why I hadn't heard from him yet
because we're down at like five minutes, all right, speaking
of haven't heard from him yet. We got to clear
the decks, so we got the military tribute to get
out of the way. Then we'll come back with our
three stuff, four, the weekend news round up. And again

(01:49:21):
I don't mean to rush, but I have a conference
call as soon as we get off the airs, so
we're gonna have to, all right, So if you can
hear me, bear with us for a moment. I am
trying to figure out why free stream seems to have crashed.

(01:49:43):
I've been able to get in on my phone trying
on a second talk amongst yourselves for a minute. All right,
So I'm kind of cheating and running things from my
phone for a moment while I figure out what else
is going on. So you're on the screen now, bro,
i'd say, hot, oh, I got it. That racks.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
We're wrestling the tech demons. Is that what's going on? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:50:07):
I guess whatever they thought they fixed by replacing my router,
it's still not entirely fixed. So I'm gonna have to
have somebody come back out again. But now that I
know what the issue is, I should be able to
be back in my studio in about five minutes or so.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Because yeah, it was weird.

Speaker 1 (01:50:25):
Everything was running all of a sudden. It just threw
me out, and then I kept trying to get back
in the studio and everything would load, and then it
would say I was entering, and then it would just
sit there. So I went and tried to duplicate it
on my phone and it was doing the same thing,
and then as soon as I changed over to data.

Speaker 2 (01:50:43):
On my phone, it let me in.

Speaker 1 (01:50:44):
So I'm like, yeah, okay, there's definitely an internet issue somewhere,
so we will see if a reset fixes it like
it used to.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
Oddness, Well, you sound good enough, so don't worry too
much about that. So how's things in your world.

Speaker 1 (01:51:02):
Going?

Speaker 2 (01:51:02):
Well enough? I'm kind of dragging a little bit because
I had to do an airport run at four thirty
this morning, so I'm in heavy caffeine mode. I even
toyed with the idea of setting up an iv but
I think I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:16):
Okay, dude, I'm telling you, after.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
The week I've had, I could use a caffeine ivy.

Speaker 1 (01:51:21):
I ain't even gonna play.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
I've also got the caffeine packets that come in ten
like school bandit. We should try to get them to
advertise for us, right, we should probably figure that out.
I should reach out to them maybe this weekend, and hey,
we got a network, you got a product that kind
of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
Well, I actually have a meeting with a syndication group
as soon as we get off the air, so things
might be looking up for us anyway. Look at you, well,
right right, okay, So it's it's apparently letting me back
in here, so let me get this fixed before we
have an echo problem. So hang on.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Meanwhile, I'll hold down the ship solo for a few
moments here. The good news is the hockey season started,
so we're we're looking decent as far as that goes.
Florida Panthers raised the banner. We're beyond excited over here,
especially since Miami Dolphins are crapping the bed, which is
part for the course. They're about the one franchise in

(01:52:28):
South Florida. That's not worth it, damn. But at least
we got the University of Miami, like we talked about
on the show with Aggie every Tuesday. So we're good.
There's the boss.

Speaker 5 (01:52:41):
I'm back.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
We figured it out.

Speaker 5 (01:52:43):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (01:52:44):
That was interesting. I will say the reset was a
lot faster, so at least from now on if I
have to do that. It took like two seconds instead
of five minutes. So I was interested.

Speaker 2 (01:52:53):
So how excited are you for the game this weekend?

Speaker 6 (01:52:56):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:52:58):
I was more excited until we want up inside the
top ten and then thirty seconds later we got the
announcement that our QB had to have surgery because OHU
has a big time top ten curse and I was
hoping when we changed when we changed conferences, I was
hoping the curse would leave us behind it. However, did
not apparently, because like I'm serious, like they they announced

(01:53:20):
same day that we had cracked top ten, and then
within like five minutes they were like, and Matier has
to have surgery and they have no idea how long
he's going to be out. Apparently it's it went better
than anybody thought it was going to, so he's expected
to potentially play on Saturday. I'm just concerned about how
well it was going to be able to hold up.
And the thing that concerns me is I understand everybody's like,

(01:53:41):
oh my god, Texas is trash this year. Their O
line sucks. They got a decent defense, but eventually it'll
get tired. Here's my problem. Texas lost last week. They're mad. Well,
we played kid State and stomp him.

Speaker 6 (01:53:54):
We ain't mad.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
Yeah, but the problem is with Texas. It wasn't like,
you know, with one of those nail biers and they
should have won but lost in the last second. They
look like ass the whole time. So I'm pretty confident
for you guys. I'm picking you for the weekend. I'll
say that. Hope that doesn't curse anything.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
Damn it now, I'm definitely anna lose. Kidding, just kidding,
but yeah, So that's kind of.

Speaker 6 (01:54:19):
The big news.

Speaker 1 (01:54:20):
Around here, of course is it is the Red River
Rivalry weekend, so I'll be glued to my TV. Tomorrow
started at about two thirty. Don't don't come find me,
don't at me. I won't respond.

Speaker 2 (01:54:32):
Well done on your part. We got to buy this week,
so we're we're coasting there and I just I might
have to go out to a bar Sunday to watch
the Dolphins, just so I have copious amounts of alcohol
that's needed to get through that.

Speaker 6 (01:54:44):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
You sound like a Jets fan.

Speaker 2 (01:54:48):
Well, it's just you know, it's reality. We lost Tyreek
Hill and Tua looks lost as a result, and our
defense is non existent. Like we we're at Red State
on the Slack channel. You we got a sports portal
in there, and you know, a couple of the editors
are from Carolina. Like we won. It was amazing. It
was like calm down, girls, you played Miami. Nice just

(01:55:13):
that I'm used to them, though, so it's more matter
of just going and having fun. The thing I'm looking
forward to is they have a Sunday morning game in
Spain coming up next month, and that usually means the
local bar puts out a huge breakfast buffet and we
can start drinking at about eight thirty. So that's about
the pinnacle of my season as far as the NFL goes.

Speaker 1 (01:55:37):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
But I was online this morning. I noticed a lot
of people are been out of shape about Letitia James
being charged.

Speaker 1 (01:55:52):
Oh I'm really sad about it. I swear I'm all
broken up and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:55:57):
This is beyond hilarious. Where I mean these people are.
He's out of control. This guy's on a revenge tour.
He's going after her. And it's like for starters. A
grand jury indicted her, so we can start right there,
and you know, pump the brakes and calm your tits
and whatever cliche you need to talk you off the

(01:56:20):
ledge about. But this is the woman that put out
the tweet that's that nobody's above the law right as
she prosecutes him for the exact same thing. And they're
claiming her case is being cooked up and there's really
no crime there, and it's like, excuse me, honey. But
the case she had against Trump had previously been not

(01:56:42):
just drop killed in New York City. They were like,
we got nothing. She resuscitated the zombie case and sued
him in court for a crime that had no victim.
The bank that testified that he's supposedly wrong, said, what
are you talking about? He paid us back, Everything went great,

(01:57:04):
and we did more business with him after the fact.
Everything that she did to him is now inappropriate to
have done to her. It's just amazing that they think
this works on people.

Speaker 1 (01:57:18):
Huh. I wonder if maybe that's why it crashed. I
think it may. I mean, it still took it. It
still took a refresh to get it to work again
for my router. But I think they tried to push
an up through while I was live, because there's there's
this I've never seen this before.

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
Aren't they fabulous like that?

Speaker 1 (01:57:36):
So now I guess there, I don't know can we
do We can't change it that that doesn't work though,
because we can't. I guess it would have we had
a background. But anyway, sorry, I was just like, I
wonder if maybe that's what caused that to break. But yeah,
well the white background, that one definitely don't work because
I still can't change the font color, which makes no sense,
I don't think and I nope, yeah, it takes it away.

(01:57:57):
So no, that's that's something. Then that's something I've been
bugging them about. I was like, we need to be
able to actually change the font color to guys, not
just the color of the ribbon. But last night I
was kind of wishing we had like a cross fade
thing because I actually figured out how to do a
house divided graphic for a lot for Jenerary last night,
and I really wanted it to be like orange on
her side and then fade into the maroon online. And

(01:58:19):
I couldn't. I couldn't make it work. But yeah, anyway,
but yeah, no, I mean, well, so the Latitia James thing,
I mean, I just want to know how many people
have actually are like, you know, literally waking up from
comas and didn't realize that. You know, I said this
on XT today. Y'all came after the king twice actually

(01:58:41):
three times if you count Congress, and you missed all
three times. Obama tried to do it during the campaign.
He then tried to do everything he could to block
the to slow down the transition team. He then tried
to do everything he could through instructions, through those mid
level bureaucrats that we didn't find out about until just
a few months ago that have all kind of been
shown the door that you know, do whatever you can

(01:59:03):
to ignore everything he says and just do things the
way we were doing them before. And that wasn't enough
to get rid of him. So then Biden, you know,
rigs an election. I don't think it was Biden that
did it. It was one it was his staffers that
did it. I'm I'm most guaranteed it was a state,
mid level bureaucrats and all these other people that were like,
oh my god, we got to save democracy, and we
got to do whatever it takes to save democracy. And

(01:59:24):
if you still don't believe me that they stole the election,
ask yourself this question, where did one point five million
people go between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:59:34):
Oh we're not allowed to ask these kind of questions though.

Speaker 1 (01:59:37):
Right, But still it's just that that that that's an
honest question and an assessment to my opinion, And I apparently,
you know, I'm not allowed to ask these questions, but
I still want to know, you know. So this was
the this was the fa portion. You know, Obama tried
and missed the Congress while he was in office, tried

(01:59:59):
admit Biden while he was you know, after he was
out of office, he tried and missed, got Georgia to
try to do it, tried and missed, got Letitia James
to try to do it, and still managed to at
least somewhat do it and drug the dude into the
court every freaking day for like four months just for
ADJUSTAE say, yeah, you can't really find him for that much.

(02:00:22):
And I'm sure at some point all of these freaking
felonies when they get to the point where somebody that
actually has a law degree looks at this is it.
You can't hold him responsible for what his accountant put
in the books for the payment was for. It wasn't
even him. He may have signed the check, but his
accountants were the ones that said, hey, this is going,
this is going for legal expenses, and then you charged

(02:00:42):
him with the same thing thirty four separate times. Seriously.
But so let's just take all of that at face value,
and let's just say that Donald Trump is in fact
now not weaponizing the FBI, the DOJ, and federal Grand Juries,
et cetera to go after his enemies. I don't care.

(02:01:03):
We watched you do it first, and we told you
not to do it. We're now hit. We're even even
taking everything you've said, at face value, we are now
in the finding out portion of the program, and I'm
sorry you're finding out that we're better at these games
than you. It's why we never wanted you to play
them in the first place.

Speaker 2 (02:01:20):
Well, it's like, yeah, we talked about it last week
where they keep accusing him of going after his opponents
for revenge and retribution. It's like revenge, you know. And
all this week I've just been laughing because, like at
Politico they said, oh, no, Trump is opened a Pandora's
box by doing this. It's like, where were you for
the last four years? And I just I sent him

(02:01:42):
a screenshot of Donald Trump's mug shot surrounded by about
a dozen or so members of his cabinet who were
all indicted as well. It's like just a refresher, guys,
this is the Pandora's box. But look at also too,
what what's taking place at the same time. So right
now the media is screaming about Donald Trump weaponizing the

(02:02:05):
DOJ going after his political opponents. This is the narrative
we already saw a couple of weeks ago MSNBC reporting
how the FBI tried to do a sting operation on
Tom Homan last summer, right, and then this week we
find out that Jack Smith was gathering phone records without

(02:02:26):
letting people know about a number of GOP senators.

Speaker 1 (02:02:31):
Yeah, that's not shady at all.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
Where's all the screaming and yelling about the DOJB and
weaponized politically against the opponents of the administration. I'm just
curious because this is pretty solid evidence of that.

Speaker 1 (02:02:44):
But Brad, that was the save democracy not the same thing.

Speaker 6 (02:02:48):
Isn't that the same thing?

Speaker 1 (02:02:49):
They were literally trying to save democracy? Brad, don't you
get it?

Speaker 2 (02:02:53):
Don't you understand that's my blind spot. I apologize you.
Did you look into the details of this time home
in case because it's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (02:03:01):
Oh dude, I have seen bits and pieces of it.
I actually hadn't looked into it too terribly deep, but
from what I saw, I was just like, Okay, this
is just retarded.

Speaker 2 (02:03:10):
Yeah, they're claiming the FBI set themselves up undercover as
businessmen and they handed him fifty thousand dollars in a
ca A bag, you know, And it sounds that initially
you're like, holy crap, they got this on film. Well one,
it took place last summer when he was a private
citizen working as a consultant to get businesses connected to

(02:03:34):
the very thing he's doing, i E.

Speaker 6 (02:03:36):
His job.

Speaker 2 (02:03:38):
And I actually read the article from MSNBC, which is
one thing they don't really want you to do. They
keep saying that he's on video accepting this money. Problem
is we don't have the video. We don't see the video.
It's not provided to us. And furthermore, Kendelanean and the

(02:04:00):
other reporter at MSNBC also did not see the video.
They were fed a summary of the investigation by somebody
on the inside i E. An anonymous leaker, i E.
Garbage information. It just said, take our word for it.
We've got video of them doing this. Can we see

(02:04:20):
the video? Nope, but it's there. It's it's bad. That's
what we have to go on.

Speaker 1 (02:04:30):
Oh yeah, well, I mean, isn't isn't that always the way?
So I gotta talk about this, right because I was
in the middle of ranting about this when I had
to wrap the hour to try to get ready to
bring you on, And that was when everything just said.
The restream was like, yeah, we're done from it. Don't
know why, but we're done from it. So I find
this interesting. Right, So, we're in the middle of a
shutdown as far as I know. You know, government is

(02:04:52):
shut down. Everything but essential service is not being funded.
Blah blah blah, YadA, YadA YadA. However, the Senate just
voted so twenty to fund the military for fiscal year
twenty twenty six. But they can't vote for the CR.

Speaker 2 (02:05:09):
Well they can't. They keep voting no.

Speaker 1 (02:05:11):
However, I just I don't. I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
I've had four CR votes now in the Senate, and
every single time the Democrats have spiked it and then
turn around and say, damn you Republicans shutting the government down.

Speaker 1 (02:05:23):
It's not really it's not really working for them very well.
This time I did find it interesting because I happened
to be flipping through some stuff today doing show prep,
and I saw that c SPAN had a supposed Republican
caller on yelling at yelling at friggin' Johnson for you
you need to bring the house back and do your job.
I'm like, dude, he did his job.

Speaker 2 (02:05:43):
Is this the one that was this the one that
said my child is going to die because the government
is shut down? Yes, yes, I need a flow chart
there please, I'm sorry. I need a little more information
than a faceless caller on c SPAN claiming my child.
How about this hang up the to take care of
your kid?

Speaker 1 (02:06:01):
Yeah, how about you know, if your kid's about to die,
maybe you should be lining up ways to take care
of whatever you think is gonna make your child.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
I would think that's a little more pressing than getting
your voice heard on cable.

Speaker 1 (02:06:12):
But you would think, but who are we?

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
You know, we're just I don't have a kid dying
in my arms at the moment, so what do I know?
I have no empirical wisdom about this.

Speaker 1 (02:06:21):
We're just a couple of talking heads.

Speaker 5 (02:06:22):
What do we know what?

Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
The other thing, too, is with all the House members
they keep who was it? Ted Lew and the cross
Dresser put out another video where they're walking through the
Capitol and they're looking under tables like where's Republicans? I
don't see them? Oh where are they? And it's like,
you dumbasses, the Republicans already passed the cr in the House.
I don't know what they are expecting here. How come

(02:06:46):
they're not here opening the government? You want them to
vote twice? What do you voting?

Speaker 1 (02:06:53):
What do you mean, do we need to pass it
again for emphasis, because we can pass it again for
emphasis if it helps.

Speaker 2 (02:07:00):
I mean, you could do that, and then Chuck Schumer
will vote twice as many times against opening the government.
I mean, this, this is so stupid.

Speaker 1 (02:07:06):
But you, I mean, you weren't here yet. But I
was literally scratching my head because I was like, doesn't
this defeat the entire purpose for the shutdown? When they're
starting to pass the appropriations bills turning a shutdown, I'm confused.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
And they do everything to distract away from Schumer because
it's like, oh, they're just doing this because they don't
want to vote on the Epstein files, and they don't
want to get this one confirmed, and they don't want
to talk about fixing the medical problems. Get your boy
to vote for it, and then everybody will have to
show up. I don't understand how they think this is washing.

(02:07:45):
It's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (02:07:46):
I mean, I just I just don't get it, because well,
I mean I do, but I guess at this point,
I'm getting just as mad at Trump because Trump's been
signaling for for over a week now that he was
gonna send Russ Voyd in and the Red pin Gate
and just start cutting funding because nothing's really been a
portion yet. Maybe that's why they hurried up and passed
the military budget to make sure Trump couldn't go nuts

(02:08:08):
with that one. But it's still inappropriate. It's still got
to go through reconciliation because they didn't match the House's
number because there's there's apparently more money in the Senate
version than there was the House version. So even if
they're trying to stop him from going red pin happy,
it's not gonna it's not gonna happen. But my question
is if and this this is what's making me mad
about Donald Trump because in this instance, because knowing Donald

(02:08:29):
Trump and seeing how quickly he's done things like this
in the past in his own businesses, he should have
had Doge and Voight ready to go at twelve oh
three on shutdown morning, like, okay, they shut it down,
send them in, Let's figure out what we can get
rid of. Let's let's start shoving all the non essential stuff.
We can save money by turning that over to private sector.

Speaker 2 (02:08:49):
Anyway, Yeah, it almost feels like to me, there's some
other factors influencing this, because it you know, he showing
a tendency to not, you know, dick around and it's
like you want to do something, he'll do it. So
if he's not pulling the string on this right now,
I think that might be part of a negotiation taking

(02:09:11):
place or a leverage somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (02:09:13):
So that's what I'm well, I think. So what happened
is he made the same threat back in March, and
like the next day Schumer was voting reopen. So I
think he was trying to use it as leverage. But
the problem is, and this goes back to being a parent,
once you threatened something, if you don't do it, they're
gonna You're they're going to realize you were never gonna

(02:09:35):
do it. So don't threaten it unless you intend on
doing it. And again, if this were if this were
Donald Trump of yesteryyear, he would have had red pen
brigades in there at twelve oh one.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
Now that's that's that's why I just have that feeling.
I think they're they're probably doing something behind doors right now,
you know, negotiating. If you don't, you know, this is
still on the table. So you guys got to come
up with a solution. I'll give you till Monday, and
then the pen come was out that kind of thing.
So it's I'm still in kind of waiting see mode
on that part.

Speaker 1 (02:10:05):
But yeah, so I mean me too. But still I'm
just frustrated that it at least hasn't started already. I
do think it's funny that he basically during the cabinet
meetings said and when we start, we're gonna start with
Democrat pet projects. Well, so we'll see. But no, I
just I don't know. I don't know, so changing gears

(02:10:29):
for a second year because I had a train of thought,
but it left me. So apparently the Palis States fire
were not because of climate change after all, big surprise.

Speaker 2 (02:10:38):
Yeah, of course, Uh, this also has to involve Florida.
Man a lot of pride there. They busted this guy
in Orlando. Of course we had to get involved, I mean,
of course, but now you know they you can see again.
I always say this, whenever you see the narrative shifting,
that's where the problem or the lie is existing. Now

(02:10:59):
the people that said it was climate change or saying, well,
that's just how it started, but climate change is why
it flared up so large and spread everywhere. Like okay,
So you're telling me climate change was the reason why
two of the reservoirs in Los Angeles were empty.

Speaker 1 (02:11:18):
Yeah, I mean very much. I mean that that should
have been a huge giveaway, you know, especially when you know,
the last time Donald Trump was president, he was pointing out,
you know, half you guys, stuff after water, stuff is empty.
What's going on with that?

Speaker 2 (02:11:33):
We're cleaning it?

Speaker 1 (02:11:35):
And what what?

Speaker 6 (02:11:38):
What?

Speaker 1 (02:11:39):
What happened to raking the forest? I love how he
got trashed for bringing that up, and I'm like, you know,
that's an actual thing, right, That's that's how you get
rid of all the underburst and stuff. So if you
happen to get a fire that starts spinning out of control,
it doesn't have a lot of extra fuel on the ground.

Speaker 2 (02:11:57):
Well that's the key word right there. All the environment
let's always talk about the fuel, and it's their policy
to get rid of the dead underbrush. So it doesn't
you know, you're not basically looking at acres asterno. And
that's exactly what Trump said, And of course it's the policy.
If Trump says something, the opposite has to be true.
So if he quotes environmentalist, he's one hundred percent incorrect.

Speaker 1 (02:12:22):
So I just want to point this out because I
love seeing this happen. We're currently beating one American news
on X Live.

Speaker 5 (02:12:30):
Look at that.

Speaker 1 (02:12:32):
We are not, however, beating Charlie Kirk. But that never happens.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
Watch your mouth watch it. Oh you mean his show?

Speaker 1 (02:12:42):
Okay, yeah, I mean it was about the cancel. You
Wrick can't really beat a dead dude, man, find that out.
I mean you can, but it'd be a little creepy.
But yeah, So that's been that's that's been crazy to watch.
And of course we're we're at we're at the thirty
day mark, which, honestly, in some ways it feels like

(02:13:04):
it hasn't been that long. But at the same time,
when somebody pointed out it's I think BZ pointed out
on the show last night that it was thirty years,
I was like, dude, that feels like a year ago already.
How is it only a good month?

Speaker 2 (02:13:15):
Well, just because you had about a twenty four to
seven news cycle for a good week, you know, with
every conceivable facet of the story being touched on and
raged about. So yeah, definitely felt a lot longer. But uh, yeah,
you think it was like, oh man, it was just
a month ago, but then if you look back on
a day to day basis, is like only a month really.

(02:13:39):
But that's the nature of things anymore in politics these days.
It's either a slog or easily forgotten.

Speaker 1 (02:13:46):
Oh yeah, I just it's just so weird to think
about because and I can't even really say it's just
the Charlie Kirk thing, but that was just like that,
that like put the news cycle that was already super
fast ever since Trump got elected into freaking warp speed.
Because that's that's it. I mean, you know, I've only
been doing this full time now for two years. It
was two years about two weeks ago when I actually so,

(02:14:13):
I'm looking at the difference between the pacing when Biden
was in office versus the pacing now that Trump is
in office, and I'm like, dude, I can't keep up.
As much as I love doing all this, I need
forty eight hours in a day so that I can
get everything done and covered that I need to be
able to get covered and done, and I just don't.

Speaker 5 (02:14:28):
We don't have that.

Speaker 2 (02:14:30):
Well, you're starting to sound like Lord O'Donnell where we
had to take a week off in like February because
all the Trump news was just getting to be too much.

Speaker 1 (02:14:38):
I mean, it's not because I'm literally.

Speaker 2 (02:14:42):
I mean basically, but that he said I can't even.

Speaker 1 (02:14:46):
Well, that's because he needed a bubble bath and a
many petty That's not what I'm talking about. I just
wish there was more time in the day so I
could actually get everything done that I want to be
able to get done, because I have been since we've
gotten a lot of momentum in the last couple of
weeks the radio side, I've been focusing a lot more
time there, so I haven't been riding as much as
I want and doing all the other things that I
normally do. But I'm like, we finally have momentum going

(02:15:08):
the right way on something, so I don't want to
quit pushing till we get the rock above or over
the hill valley.

Speaker 2 (02:15:15):
But this is this is what I'm seeing in the
news cycle this year now, since Trump came in. You'll
have these deeply vital trunche and stories come out that
die in about a day or two, and if they
last more than a week, they're a serious story. But
then that's when the narrative gets exposed and you know,
whatever negatives are on the left become valid and you're like, oh,

(02:15:39):
that's why this is that, and then it dies off.
So I mean, just look at anything that has stuck
for a while, like the the stabbing on the train
in Carolina or any of these other stories like the
trans shooter and stuff like that where the media is
all over it and it's like, oh, wait a second,
he was a trans killer. Huh Okay, we got to

(02:16:00):
ease off that story, but then right wing media is
on it. So that'll take you to a full week
and then it starts to fade away. But it's either
a flash fire done or it's a slow burn for
about a week period and then it goes away. That
just seems to be the cycle anymore this year.

Speaker 1 (02:16:18):
So it's interesting to see Trump starting to talk about
this stuff because I've been saying, because I just noticed
a headline from pavloge over a town hall, I've been
hearing some weird stuff going on out of China, like
they're finally admitting that they've been fudging their birth rate
numbers for a long time.

Speaker 23 (02:16:34):
So second, the chi coms were, well, I don't think
they've actually admitted it, but there is somebody that did,
like an anthropological study over there that's actually talking about
it now.

Speaker 1 (02:16:45):
And so in between the fact that ever since they
adopted the one child policy, they've been fudging their birth
rate numbers, and then they have this weird cultural thing
where they wanted mostly boys, so now there's almost no girls.
Then you take into account that they underreported their COVID deaths,
and according to a couple of people that I've seen

(02:17:06):
sources coming out now, China is about ten years from
just being gone because there's just no population left, which
would explain why they've started ramping everything up and becoming
so hostile.

Speaker 2 (02:17:19):
Yeah, we've been hearing kind of similar stories without from
a different angle where they're saying, how like on a
sociological level, there's problems because you know, the men in
China are finding out that there's a darth of female
partners to find to the extent that's actually becoming a problem,
like where all the women at? And as soon as

(02:17:44):
you see that, you think, well, this is the country
that's been aborting female babies on a regular basis for
their control, And it's like, what do you think this
is going to lead to? You idiots? I mean, not
only is it a dropping birth rate, but you're not
perpetuating the next generation because of this, you're taking away
half of your breeding stock, not to get all you know,

(02:18:07):
husbandry on things. But nonetheless that's what they're doing, and
it of course this was gonna happen. Who didn't see this?
Oh wait, China, Yeah, all right, so I didn't actually
mean to bring this up yet.

Speaker 1 (02:18:21):
I was planning on it in a minute, but since
you mentioned husbands, it triggered it in my head. Did
you see the Fives segment yesterday on what the what
they're calling gen Z hub sons? I did not, So
apparently there's this new gen Z phenomenon where college age
and older men are staying and living at home with

(02:18:42):
mom and helping take care of mom, etcetera. So this
new phenomenon by some folks is being called hub sons.
And I swear to god, Greg Gottfeld almost killed me
on the air. I'm not even playing, so I'm just
sitting I'm sitting in my room like in I just
got dinner in the oven and got all the sides
preps so my daughter could do the size in a
little bit. So I'm just sitting here and kind of

(02:19:03):
kind of watching the five because I know that's really
about all I ever really watch on Fox is stuff
that has got filled in it because Michael gets to
go play on the show sometimes, so I want to
support the dou So they're talking about this, right, and
the panel's already kind of been giggly today or on
this episode, which is always fun when they're laughing at
having fun because it's been a minute since I've seen

(02:19:23):
them do that. So he goes into his brit human impression.
I don't know if you've ever heard him do one,
but he actually does really solid britt hum impression and
he starts talking and I can't do one, but I'm
still going to try to give the inflections as much
as I can. He was like, this is brought to
you by britt Yume. And back in my day, when
boys lived at home with their mama was too long,

(02:19:45):
we called them boys homo sexuals. And I had just
taking a sip of a monster because I had to
work until midnight, and I'm like, dude, I'm fading. So
I'm literally midsip as he's doing this, and the panel
just dies and I'm like trying not to spew monster
through my nose. That hurt.

Speaker 2 (02:20:07):
Yeah, you don't want that coming through your nose when
you do a whiskey sip with an energy drinke. That's
a that's a harsh one right there. But that good stuff.
It's the reason it's so funny is because it's accurate,
and I think it kind of indicates where all these
hyperactive in cells on Twitter are coming from. Like it

(02:20:28):
used to be the old joke of you know, in
your mom's basement, that's coming to fruition right there.

Speaker 1 (02:20:34):
Yeah, it's not a joke anymore. Sadly, Oh so I
know neither one of us lived there, But I feel like,
because it is like soaking up national news oxygen right now,
I kind of feel like we need to talk about
Spamburger finding all the rakes last night? Holy Craft? Did
you see any of that?

Speaker 2 (02:20:51):
I've seen clips, you know, because I, uh, we had
the show last night and everything, so I missed the
actual debate. But who was it? It was Eric Doutry,
I think put out a tweet where he did the
full exchange where they asked her if she was still
going to support Jay Jones, you know, after his murder
rant text message four times four times they asked her directly,

(02:21:16):
and she's like, well, you know, that's up to the
voters to make a decision. It's like, yeah, but do
you support them? Do you still back them? Well, we
know when people are in the voting booth, it's up
the government. She would not answer one time, four times
they asked her directly.

Speaker 1 (02:21:31):
So I have to admit I've never really paid that
much attention to Spamburger. And even though I pulled an
article last night to get some of the clips, I
decided not to run them today. So I did find
an article where I think it was, you know, in
text format, discussing the exchange that you were just talking about.
And I have to say, reading through the transcript of that,
only one thing kept recurring to mind. Vanilla Kami Lama. Yeah,

(02:21:57):
because it was like this weird word sellid mixture where
half of it didn't even make sense, and I'm like,
what the It's like it's like Harris all over again,
what the hell?

Speaker 2 (02:22:06):
Well, yeah, she was trying to deliver, you know, like
a patented political non answer. You know, it was very
patent scripted, except it looked like she wrote it, not
a scriptwriter. So just every time she kept repeating the
same thing. It's like, all right, one doesn't make sense still,
and two you're not answering the question still. This is

(02:22:28):
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:22:29):
You don't actually expect a politician to answer the question, though,
do you let me come on?

Speaker 2 (02:22:34):
And I had to laugh last night because James Carvel
came out the Cajun Raisin. He said that the whins
Seers debate was the worst debate he's ever witnessed in
sixty years. It's good. I'm pretty sure there's worse examples. Also,
you've been in politics for sixty years. It's time to

(02:22:56):
go to pasture.

Speaker 1 (02:22:59):
Well that's the other thing that drives me nuts about
folks like Schumer screaming about you know how much you
know all this stuff. I'm like, dude, you've been in
politics longer than I've been alive.

Speaker 2 (02:23:08):
Well do you do that with that partisan politics? You
see that? Well, that is the debate was just an
embarrassment because I have partisanship just kept coming out. Okay, James, James,
just go play with the TV remote please.

Speaker 1 (02:23:20):
That was that was That was That was pretty solid, brother,
that was pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
He's uh, you know, that's just laughable. Desperation on display
right there, because I mean, I'm not saying win some
series is the most polished politician ever. But that's the
thing is, she's not really a politician. She's just somebody
who gets a crap done and they hate that and
they can't pull the race card on her. And the
only thing they got really is abortion. She's against it.

(02:23:50):
Never see that from a conservative. Wow, And I had
to laugh last night. Jay Jones actually came out with
that she was get rid of abortions, Like, well, of
course you are against killing children, No you're not.

Speaker 1 (02:24:07):
Yeah, So she wants to stop people from being able
to kill children in the womb. You want to take
them out with a bullet. Not the same thing through.

Speaker 2 (02:24:17):
It's just a hilarious how the thing is, all of
this stuff is out there when campaigns begin, and if
the media ever did their job, this crap would be exposed.
But instead it's up to you know, secondary and conservative
media to drudge this stuff up late like they're doing.
And of course right out of the gate, all the

(02:24:40):
Democrats are automatically got full support. Look at Katie Porter
in California, right, this woman is a train that jumped
the trustle years ago and she's leading in the polls
in California.

Speaker 1 (02:24:54):
Yeah, well I don't know. I mean, it may take
a while for the polls to get up. And then again,
this is comedy Foonnia we're talking about. These people are insane.
I don't even I don't think relics live there anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:25:08):
This this what does this woman bring to the table
outside of a D next to her name? She is
abjectly unlikable. She doesn't have any sound ideas. It's all
just you know, hyperpartisanship. And that interview. I mean, she
just she's getting buried because she couldn't tolerate straightforward questions
from a reporter. It wasn't even accusatory or you know,

(02:25:30):
bringing up scandal or anything. It's like, how would you
address the forty percent of Republicans that live in California.
I'm not doing this.

Speaker 1 (02:25:39):
I don't need them. So your your assumption is you're
going to get the entire sixty percent of the other votes.
What happens if you're running against another Democrat, Well, I
don't expect that to be the case. In California is
a jungle primary state, it's likely going to be the case.
Let's not even pretending that's not even.

Speaker 2 (02:25:56):
Well cracks me up, though. Is this woman is just
I mean you you don't need more than thirty seconds
of watching her to see just how detestable she is.
And this isn't partisanship, but I'm talking on a character issue. Yeah.
I was talking about the other day with some people
at work, where I said, you know, usually it's a
there's a movie line out there that when somebody as

(02:26:18):
as physically unappealing as they are, they make up for
it by having a charming personality. No, not her, she's
a she's absolutely repellent on almost all aspects.

Speaker 1 (02:26:31):
Well, I mean so in some I know somebody else
was trying to be funny. I think it was even
somebody that we know, but I can't remember who it was.
It posted it. They put something out that about how
she completely destroys the crazy hot scale, and I'm like, no,
actually she doesn't, because she's negative eleven t billion when
it comes to hotness and plus eleven ty billion when
it comes to crazy. So there doesn't need to be

(02:26:52):
a crossing line there the uh.

Speaker 2 (02:26:55):
There that that actual scale is going to be. You know,
the lines will never meet.

Speaker 1 (02:27:02):
These lines are now considered parallel and therefore we'll never
touch I.

Speaker 2 (02:27:06):
Just like too when somebody called her thin skinned, I
was like, well, that's a real poor choice of words
in reference to her.

Speaker 1 (02:27:12):
Sorry, I mean, I'm a fat guy, but that's some
funny shit right there. But so, yeah, it's too bad
I didn't make it. It's too bad I didn't get
this pot shot in on James's account when the tweet
first posted. I'd probably made enough to monetize by now,
because I put it in like four hours later and
still got almost ten thousand impressions. But it was in

(02:27:35):
the little video clip where it almost seems like she's
gonna start crying because Donald Trump is being mean to her,
and I responded, you probably shouldn't have used I'm gonna
get you sucker as your campaign slogan from that last
porta potty you're curly sitting in.

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
Well. That's the amazing part, too, is where they keep
accusing Trump of politicizing this lawsuit. It's like she campaigned
on this, Okay, this is how she got elected, was
promising to do this, and you're calling him the political one.
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:28:05):
I knew the movie. I knew the movie guy would
finally laugh at me working and I'm gonna get you, sucker,
because everybody else is like, huh, Like, have you never
seen the movie Come on? Man? There's like an entire
movie about that. Very apt the title of the movie
come on. Oh. But yeah, I was just like, dude,
that probably shouldn't have been your entire campaign stick for

(02:28:27):
you to be complaining that. Now somebody else's weaponize again
against you again. You took a shot at the king
and you effectively missed because yes, you hu thirty four
felonies around his neck. I think that was you. No,
you're the fraud case. That wouldn't even you. But yeah,
the judge already said you know that that that that
that penalty doesn't even stand anyway. I don't know, I

(02:28:49):
don't know. It's all just craziness.

Speaker 2 (02:28:52):
Well, I would say maybe part of the reason why
we're not seeing Trump gutting the government agencies is because
he's been busy working out a peace deal and this
has really pissed off everybody on the left.

Speaker 1 (02:29:06):
Dude, So yeah, that was so hang on. I got
a bit of brek It's kind of sort of breaking.
I didn't see this earlier, but you know shortly after
the judge from yesterday, the Biden appointees said, since you
guys can't really explain to me why the National Guard
needs to be there, they're not going to be there.
All of a sudden, Illinois State troopers are doing their jobs.
What happened? Yeah, so this is from This is actually

(02:29:28):
from Nick Sorter. Hang on, let's see if I can
get the clip to play, because things have been kind
of cranky. But this was put out this morning and
somehow I missed it, and apparently so did my AI assistant,
because I normally have it scanned for new clips and stuff,
and apparently he didn't find this.

Speaker 2 (02:29:42):
Well, we saw this from Newsom in California. He did
the exact same thing. After they did put the troops
out there for the federal buildings. All of a sudden,
Newsom's activating the highway patrol all across California.

Speaker 1 (02:29:56):
It's just it's it's just interesting to me because I'm
like the same dude that was claiming there's not even
a problem. I don't even know why why we need
them here. Now all of a sudden, the Illinois State
troopers are being deployed. But yeah, you can see a
brief clip of it right here from Freedom and News TV.
It was shared out by Nick Sorder.

Speaker 2 (02:30:36):
Oh yeah, I love to see that boat.

Speaker 1 (02:30:50):
I'm honestly probably just gonna kind of leave it on
the screen for a while because uh yeah. I mean,
first of all, the first time in a long time
I've seen any cops with hats and bats. Which used
to be standard riot protocol was hats and bats, And
I'm like, okay, so this.

Speaker 2 (02:31:06):
Is what I voted for.

Speaker 1 (02:31:08):
I know it's gonna piss some people off, but this
is what.

Speaker 6 (02:31:10):
I voted for.

Speaker 1 (02:31:11):
I voted for this right here. I voted for cops
being allowed to do their jobs and actually breaking up
on lawful protests because guess what when you start burning
things and then trust me and left his cities, there
are definitely burned bands all over the place. So the
whole well, right, lighting the American flag on fire is is?

Speaker 6 (02:31:31):
Is?

Speaker 2 (02:31:31):
Free?

Speaker 1 (02:31:32):
Is free speech? Yeah, unless you're breaking a city ordinance
to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:31:37):
Well, I would always, uh, I wish I was at
one of these when they start burning the flag because
I would take it, put it out and say I'm
just saving the environment. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:31:47):
Nick Sorder tried that not not in that exact same way.
But yeah, he got his ass handed to him after
taking a flag away from somebody and putting it out.

Speaker 2 (02:31:55):
He got jumped by like five Antifa people and then
they arrested him for angering Antifa.

Speaker 1 (02:32:02):
I think, I don't Yeah, So he goes and tells
the cops what happened, and they are asked him.

Speaker 2 (02:32:09):
And at the same time, Antifa doesn't exist. It's just
a concept. It's this amorphous thing that people think about,
but there's no organization. I forget who who's the dumbaan?
I think it was Pavolos the other day put it
out there that one supposed reverend doesn't even exist. It's
just a thought process. And then I had to send

(02:32:30):
him the actual paragraph describing the local Portland chapter that
ya and has ruin insignia and flags and meetings.

Speaker 1 (02:32:41):
Yeah, and well the city and state charters for Antifa,
the national rule book, all the things that exist because
it is actually supposedly an organized group. But let's face it,
even if it's not, guess what isis wasn't really an
organization either. We still knocked their asses even further back
into the stone age that out well, I.

Speaker 2 (02:33:00):
Tore into Chuck Todd a couple of weeks ago where
he he's on with crystallism and said, I don't even
know what ant is, just this concept. And then I
had to play clips of him on Meet the Press
with the author of the book, the Antifa Handbook, and
there's Chuck Todd saying it's a left wing group. I mean,

(02:33:23):
the the pathological media amnesia cracks me up every single
time that they just you contradicted yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:33:34):
It's well, I mean, well, the amnesia everywhere has been
fun because the politicians have amnesia, a lot of the
attorney generals have amnesia. The judges are apparently blind because
I get it, the one in Chicago's of Biden appointee.
But you can't tell me that you're not seeing all
the crap that's happening in Chicago right now. And then
I don't see any justification for them to be there,

(02:33:54):
and you haven't been able to prove your case, so
I'm going to block you from being able to deploy
them for two weeks. They're just gonna appeal it. You're
just gonna lose again anyway, because it's the same thing
that happens every single time. Because he's specifically only using
them in federal spaces. I mean, I I have to
say they're probably lucky I'm not president, because I would
be deploying National Guard troops to block interstates until the

(02:34:16):
governors did their fucking jobs. Like, you can't use these
there are no backstreets, bitch.

Speaker 2 (02:34:24):
Yeah. Well there's also you know, the small point of
if there's no problem and no crime, why are you
dispatching the highway patrol all of a sudden. I'm sure
that what are they doing?

Speaker 1 (02:34:35):
I'm sure that will probably come up at some point
now that it is happening. And actually, if I were,
if I were the attorney that lost yesterday, I would
be grabbing all these video clips and getting ready for
the appeal and be like this is why they Remember
they said they didn't need us, they didn't want us here,
So what's going on here? Why?

Speaker 16 (02:34:55):
Why?

Speaker 20 (02:34:55):
Why?

Speaker 6 (02:34:56):
What was this?

Speaker 1 (02:34:57):
But yeah, I mean you're right the same this now
again in Californi. He was actually able to deploy them
because that attorney argued a little bit better and did
in fact say, hey, we're just going to keep them
around the federal stuff, and you know, maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:35:09):
Well that's all they are doing is they're protecting federal
buildings or they're out there protecting the federal ice agents
as they're committing their actions. So it's it's not like
they're they keep claiming they're marching through the street and
pepperballing innocent people that are going to school and stuff
like that.

Speaker 1 (02:35:26):
It's like, shut up. Well. Part of what part of
what got this attorney in trouble with the judge, and
one of the reasons why they did what they did,
was that the attorney was directly asked by the judge,
can you guarantee to me that these people are only
going to be assisting federal agents and guarding federal property?

(02:35:46):
And they weren't able to answer that question. My question
is how and why could that attorney not answer that question,
because that kind of makes me go hm hm, So
were you guys planning on doing something a little different
in Chicago. I mean, again, we've we've hit the FO
portion of all of that is so. But everybody's given
my governor a hard time because he came out the
other day and said that he doesn't agree with all
these National Guard deployments. I have to agree with him.

(02:36:09):
I understood why it happened in DC, and I approved
it happening in DC. I don't really approve it happening here.
I understand why Trump's trying to do it, but he
doesn't have some of those same authorities that he had
in DC. And what confirmed me is when the pendulum
swings back the other way, which god willing and the
creek don't rise, it will be for the next thirty
years and we'll probably both be gone by then. Anyway,

(02:36:32):
happens when they're using the National Guard to enforce unisex
bathrooms in public schools?

Speaker 2 (02:36:40):
Well yeah, I mean, I mean does that that's not
federal though that would be state and local.

Speaker 1 (02:36:46):
It becomes federal when it's part of Title nine though,
I mean you got you gotta remember they use the
National Guard to integrate schools.

Speaker 2 (02:36:58):
True. True.

Speaker 1 (02:36:58):
So this is the slippery slope we're talking about. Is
if we're going to start mobilizing the National Guard to
make sure people are following federal guidelines and federal laws
and federal rules, this means when they f with tige
the line again, because they're probably going to, they could
technically send in the Guard to schools that don't want
to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:37:19):
And I mean, you know, I'm on board. I'm the
same way. I'm not a huge fan of deploying troops
into cities as such. However, these are cities where they're
violating even basic border federal laws by becoming sanctuary cities.
They're refusing to assist or even support federal agents when
they're going in and making sweeps. They're clearly operating pro

(02:37:43):
illegal immigrant. You know, that's where the line starts to
get blurred and the justification starts to emerge. So yeah,
I'm kind of riding the fence a little bit. It
doesn't feel right, but at the same time justifiable.

Speaker 1 (02:37:57):
Yeah, I mean that's kind of where I am. I
understand why he's doing it. I'm just saying, you know,
we're always the ones pointing out you're really not gonna
like this when the other side gets a turn, and
I don't think we're consistent enough on Irish side when
it comes to that, because again, when they f with
Title nine, that means they can actually send in troops
to make little Jimmy be able to go into Little
Jenny's bathroom, and I don't like that. I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (02:38:20):
See, this is also where it gets fractured. There's a
kind of a funny example from Jonathan K part already
yes Q, laugh track. But back when you were first
putting troops into d C. He was all upset about
this and said, why is he going into the capitol.
There are so many other cities with bigger problems, like

(02:38:41):
Chicago and Memphis, and so Donald Trump's like, good idea,
I'm going to go to Memphis. Now, how dare you?

Speaker 16 (02:38:48):
Well?

Speaker 1 (02:38:48):
And the same guy, and we really have to wrap
in a second because I do have a call starting
in like a minute and a half, but I do
want to get this point in. I think he did
this wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:38:57):
He should have.

Speaker 1 (02:38:58):
Because there are those red states with blue city problems.
He should have went to all those governors first and said, hey,
I want you guys to help me to start a
pilot project to be able to clean up these blue cities,
because then all the other blue cities in the blue
states with the blue governors would have been like, we
want some of that, and then they wouldn't really ad
a choice. But where can folks find you? Because I
really do have to jump off here because I'm supposed

(02:39:18):
to be on a call in like a minute.

Speaker 2 (02:39:20):
Oh gotch I was gonna reclaim my time since we
started late. But okay, now I'm over at townhall dot com.
You can see my daily column there. I'm also on
a regular at the top of the page over at
red State, and I've got a twice weekly media podcast
called Liable Sources. I'm here at KLRN Thursday nights Tuesday nights,
especially with Aggie Reekin on the Cocktail Lounge, and if

(02:39:41):
you need me more than that, go to shitter at
Martini Shark is how you find me picking on the press.

Speaker 1 (02:39:47):
All right, folks, that's gonna do it for this one.
We'll have the podcast version up probably either tomorrow or Sunday.
I'm still getting caught up on the archives, and honestly,
with the issue that we had today, this is the
first time I've tried to do a three hour show,
so I think I might just have the weekend news
roundup ready to go in a completely separate link and
just shut one down, hit the reset button real quick,
fire the other one up. By way, we don't have

(02:40:08):
this issue again, because we did burn like ten minutes
with me trying to figure stuff out, and that's not
fair to you either. But if it wasn't for the
fact that I have to be on a call, we
would have stayed late to make up for it. Remind
me next week it give you like an extra ten
minutes because it Bye, everybody, Enjoy the rest of your Friday.
Thank you so much for hanging out with us, and

(02:40:28):
thank you again Brad for hanging out with me and
making this hour probably one of the funnest ones I
do all week.

Speaker 5 (02:40:34):
Cool, I've got it.
