10
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:15.200
So here we are. It's Wednesday. The reports are that Governor Ron

11
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.280
De Santis later today. In fact, I think I saw in an article

12
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:26.319
at Fox News let's see here,
that De Santis is going to announce his

13
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:34.239
candidacy for president. That's the anticipation
here via well with Elon Musk. I

14
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.239
think on Twitter is that what I'm
let me read the headline here for to

15
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.599
Governor Rond de Santis to announce candidacy
for president. Wednesday on Twitter. According

16
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.799
to sources at Fox News. Take
from that what you will, but that

17
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.719
is what is being reported. And
so here we go. Now we have

18
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:01.760
a real campaign. I suppose on
our on our hands. Now I've been

19
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.439
clear what I think should happen,
and I want to be clear that you

20
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:15.240
know why I think that I'm not. You know, there's people out there

21
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.199
that prefer Trump over to Santis.
There are people out there that prefer the

22
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:30.960
Santis over Trump. There are people
who look at this Republican presidential nomination process

23
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.759
and they think, well, this
candidate is more appealing to the masses,

24
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:44.680
or this candidate is more serious on
these particular issues, or you get the

25
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.759
idea. There's five hundred ways of
getting to an opinion on this. And

26
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.319
so I know that opinions and emotions
can run strong. I will say what

27
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.719
I think, and I when I
say think, I mean think with my

28
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.680
rain this. You know, one
of the biggest fears when you do something

29
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:12.919
like this program is to be is
to be misunderstood. I have to tell

30
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:19.800
you, I don't UM the good
bad guy. He's the he pulls clips

31
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:27.159
and puts puts them on social media. UM, and he does a great

32
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.479
job by the way I want to
be clearly does a great job. But

33
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:36.000
there's a part of me, a
part of me that doesn't like doesn't like

34
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.680
a clip to be used because and
I gotta get over this. I understand

35
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.520
we live in a sound bite society, but there's a part of me that

36
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.360
doesn't like a sound bite or a
clip because it is not within its full

37
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:59.120
context. Before we aired the program
today, I was reading some some verses

38
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.960
to oz Heres, Biblical verses,
and you got to be careful anytime you

39
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.080
even read a verse from the Bible, because context is it matters a lot,

40
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.439
right, And so we have to
be we have to be careful from

41
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:18.839
interpreting something without the proper context of
the larger picture of what's of what is

42
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.680
being of what is being said.
So I want to make sure that you

43
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.360
understand the full context I when I
say, and I've said this, and

44
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:34.240
I stand by this. At this
particular point in time, I believe that

45
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:42.560
the best thing that could happen is
for there to be a second term for

46
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:50.439
Trump, and there to be two
consecutive terms for the Santis following the second

47
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.759
year of the second term, I
guess of Trump, that's what I think

48
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.639
and there's reasons. I think this, there's reasons. Now do those reasons

49
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.759
are they etched in stone? No? I don't think that they're etched in

50
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.680
stone. You've also heard me come
in here and say that I think de

51
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.319
Santis. I think that this is
a strategic mistake. I think that Trump

52
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.920
will win the nomination. But we've
got a nomination process, a primary process

53
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.560
to go through, and that is
not to be I do not want to

54
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:28.160
be misunderstood here. That is not
to be any interpreted as any sort of

55
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.319
slight toward Rhonda Santis. I mean, we are my son says he is

56
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.959
an honorary How does he say that
as an honorary Floridian? Is that what

57
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.480
he says? He says. We've
been down here now for I don't know,

58
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.680
three months or so. He says
he's an honorary Floridian. And we

59
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.759
got to feel that way, and
in spite of what the NAACP says,

60
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.959
which we went through that earlier this
week, where they said Florida is hostile

61
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.879
to Black Americans or black visitors or
people of you know, minority status,

62
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.480
the LGBTQ community and all this other
garbage that's being espoused over there. In

63
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:08.360
spite of that fantasy world rhetoric,
this is a state. There is a

64
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.199
state that's well run. It is. It's not perfect. There's no such

65
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.120
thing as a perfect state. That's
why, again, the Founders wrote in

66
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.720
the Constitution in order to form a
more perfect union. We have never achieved

67
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:27.199
perfection. We're trying to become closer
to the ideal, but we'll never achieve

68
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.800
that this side of heaven because of
human nature. The Founders understood that as

69
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.600
well. So, but we've got
context that matters here. And the context

70
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:44.160
is I think the worst. I
think there's nothing that the left, there's

71
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.800
nothing that the bureaucratic state, the
deep state, the swamp, whatever you

72
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.439
want to call it. There's nothing
they fear more than a second term of

73
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.040
Trump. Now, I don't mean
that to be misunderstood, and I don't

74
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.920
want you to think that I'm saying
they are not afraid of the santasy.

75
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.720
That's not my point. But I
mean Trump has had well four he will

76
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:11.800
have had four years to stew over
this, four years to plan about this,

77
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:17.199
four years of it of living in
a world. If you listen to

78
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:25.720
his version of what he thinks happened
in twenty twenty four years after he will

79
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.720
have told you he has had an
election stolen from him. Now you don't

80
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.279
agree or disagree with that, I'm
just trying to paint the picture that we

81
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.560
are going to have Trump hit the
ground. I think running, and I

82
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.279
think that is an absolute necessity.
I think if you come into DC and

83
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.680
I'm not. Again, I'm not
implying that De Santis thinks this. I

84
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:56.120
think De Santis is quite aware of
what we are facing in this country today.

85
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.839
But I also think that there is
no matter no matter how much you're

86
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.199
aware of that, folks, let
me just use myself to remove the emotions.

87
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.399
Pause. Not that I have any
interest in doing this, no interest

88
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.120
in running for any office. I'm
just inserting myself to take the emotions out

89
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.199
because I want this to be seen
Logically, if I were elected to go

90
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.959
into Washington, DC as president,
be a darn good president. By the

91
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.439
way, have no interest. I'm
just having fun here. But if I

92
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.639
went in, I would not have
any idea. I have an idea of

93
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.840
the types of corruption and evil that
exists within our government. But on the

94
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.480
other hand, I still think it
would blow my mind. In another sense,

95
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.200
I think Trump is immune to that
part of it. And you only

96
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.080
get a four year term, and
if you're a first year president, you

97
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.559
start campaign, you're gonna start campaigning
just a little over the midway point for

98
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.360
the second term, and in many
instances or you know, just past that

99
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.120
midway point. Although we're waiting,
has Biden launched his campaign or not.

100
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.200
I've seen I've seen that they've announced
it, but just kind of I'm not

101
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.480
really sure what what's going on with
Biden. Of course I never am to

102
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.720
be quite candid, but normally this
is I mean, we're in the time

103
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.960
frame where people begin to announce.
We're squaring up for you know, in

104
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.519
what eight months is that right?
Eight months? We're going to start the

105
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.279
primary process early in twenty twenty four, which is here we are at the

106
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:48.279
end of May. So anyhow,
so we've got We've got this. I

107
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.039
think it's important that we have a
president that's ready, and I mean ready,

108
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.360
ready day one. Again, I
do not want to be misunderstood.

109
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.559
I'm not saying to Santis isn't ready. I think Trump's experience, it's having

110
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.240
walked in the shoes as the president, does matter. I think it does.

111
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.000
Now again, I think DeSantis would
be fine as well. I know

112
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:16.120
some of you have problems with DeSantis. You're concerned about some of the people

113
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.120
who have coalesced around the Santis um
and I understand that concern, and I

114
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.159
think we should all be wary when
we see some of the Paul Ryan types

115
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.720
um kind of congregating around a candidate. But we also have to think in

116
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.480
terms of they hate Trump an awful
lot. So if they think DeSantis is

117
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.360
the only person that can beat him, which I think that is the case,

118
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.120
I think I think this is Trump's
to win, or I should say

119
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.120
Trump's to lose, it's his,
it's I think. I think if Trump

120
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.960
runs a good campaign, I think
it's his to win. I think that

121
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.159
DeSantis can also beat him, but
I think he's got a little bit of

122
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.639
a harder path. I think these
other folks that are jumping into the race,

123
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.200
the Tim Scots, the Nicky Haley's, the Pence I think I've seen

124
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.600
he's he's going to run, and
so forth. I think that their goal,

125
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.960
their objective is to maybe be there
in case there's a complete blood bath

126
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.360
between Trump and the Santis metaphorical of
course, for the sensitive leftists who may

127
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.559
have been tuned in today. I'm
not meaning that literally, just the metaphorical

128
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:35.480
political blood bath that may happen between
these two big personality and big personality.

129
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.000
It's going to be entertaining, to
say the least. So I think there

130
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.360
are some people who think if they
beat the snot out of each other enough,

131
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.720
maybe there's an opportunity or maybe just
the national recognition will get them a

132
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.480
seat at the you know, in
one of the whether it's the Trump administration,

133
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.919
either one god willing, the Trump
or De Santis administration, maybe have

134
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:03.000
a seat at that table, or
just you know, have have a new

135
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.399
position. I think I think that
there's some of that going on as well,

136
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.000
because there's just no way, there's
no way if you're in the Nicky

137
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.600
Hayley camp, to Tim Scott camp, the Mike Pence camp, short of

138
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.799
divine intervention, for any one of
these folks, that that is a that

139
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.279
they will be the president, or
that even the nominee for that matter,

140
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.000
it will beat Trump or to Santis. I suppose there's a slim chance that

141
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.559
the scenario I painted that they beat
the ever loving heck out of each other,

142
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.600
that can happen. But again that
I think is a long shot.

143
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.159
I do think that there are some
openings that Trump has given to De Santis.

144
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.799
I did see that Trump was attacking
the six week abortion ban, and

145
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.600
Trump, excuse me, de Santis
stands up for that. I think that

146
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.960
that is a real issue for many
conservatives, many Republicans, many pro life

147
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.480
folks in the Republican Party that could
get their attention. Trump thinks that that's

148
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.639
way too early. To Santis defends
it. You know, Trump calls De

149
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.080
Santis to sanctimonious. I think that
that's a bad idea. But then again,

150
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.559
I mean, this is what Trump
does and who Trump is, so

151
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:30.799
that's going to probably continue. But
you look at polling and Trump is massively

152
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.279
ahead of De Santis. Now I
understand again that Trump's name recognition, the

153
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:41.240
energy behind him, the way that
he fills stadiums and these speeches and so

154
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.240
forth, when he does his little
dances up on stage or whatever else that

155
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.360
he does. This is a big
thing, right. I mean, there's

156
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.120
a lot of energy and momentum.
In some ways, we are watching before

157
00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:01.879
our very eyes with Trump, something
that is a once in a lifetime political

158
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:09.240
sort of situation where he's remained so
popular among his base to where I mean,

159
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.200
he just basically continued right through twenty
twenty or twenty twenty one when Biden

160
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.240
assumed office. I mean, Trump's
been in the spotlight ever since. I

161
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.000
was at this convention down here in
Orlando. Um, I guess it would

162
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.840
have been Monday. Monday. It
was Monday, and there was a group

163
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:37.639
there. I think it's just the
news. I think that was the group.

164
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.879
If I'm wrong, that's not my
intent. But they had a you

165
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.840
know, a little boot out there
in the four year outside of this conference.

166
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.200
It was set up day. They
were broadcasting live from the event and

167
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.840
they had Trump. Now Trump wasn't
there, but Trump called in presumably I

168
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.519
guess from from Marlago. I don't
know where Trump was. But the point

169
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:05.919
is, you know that that sort
of thing doesn't happen to presidents whom It

170
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.600
didn't happen to George HW. Bush
when he was president. It didn't happen

171
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.279
with Jimmy Carr, well he was
a one term president. Didn't happened with

172
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.279
Jimmy Carter after he lost the nineteen
eighty election to Ronald Reagan. It didn't

173
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:28.399
happen, right, So these are
we're living in politically interesting times, to

174
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.240
say the least. I've got more
thoughts about this, but I do think

175
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.799
Trump has opened the crack in the
door for De Santis to potentially take care

176
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.480
of it. As far as winning
the nomination, I still think it's a

177
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.159
long shot. Again, this is
not I don't even want you to read

178
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.360
into my preferences, meaning which one
I like better. I just think strategically

179
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.559
in my head, I think that
it makes more sense to try to get

180
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.639
twelve years out of this. And
because the Santis is young, Trump is

181
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.960
there to finish what he started.
He's going to be ready. Oh,

182
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.679
I got some thoughts about it.
I'll talk Sharon on the other side of

183
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.399
the break, but the time out
is in order. My friends, you're

184
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.320
listening here to conservative not better talk. I am your host, the one,

185
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:25.039
the only toad half back in just
a minute. Welcome back, my

186
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.720
friends. I gotta tell you I
was talking with Oz during the break as

187
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:37.919
she comes back into the studio here. I thought Oz was gonna would disagree

188
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:44.000
with my assessment that I laid out
there in the first the first segment.

189
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:49.080
I thought Oz was gonna say De
Santis is the person that we need and

190
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.080
the truth is. I think I
think she and I see it the same

191
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.960
way. It's not. Again,
it doesn't mean that we I'll speak for

192
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:06.759
myself that I prefer Trump personally or
whatever, or that I preferred to Santis.

193
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.599
The issue, to me is really
strategic. I think it needs to

194
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.680
be made in the head and there's
a case to be made for de Santists

195
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.960
almost understand me. And if the
Santis is the nominee, count me in.

196
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:23.640
I mean, I'm in with this. I'm not going to be tremendously

197
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:33.359
upset or something. I just I
do think that makes more strategic sense for

198
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:40.680
Trump. That being said, he's
also left opportunities. He's he's left the

199
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.920
door cracked, and I think one
of them was this comment about abortion,

200
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:53.759
the six week ban on abortion.
Another is his term his using the name

201
00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:03.240
to sanctimonious. I just think it
worked in twenty sixteen in large part because

202
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:10.559
I think that there's a there's a
group of people out there, and I

203
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.880
would include myself in this, and
I'm guessing many some many most of you

204
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:21.240
I don't know exactly the breakdown,
who have been watching politics for a long

205
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.559
time and you understand or you have
the same opinion that I have, which

206
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.279
is there's two problems with Republicans.
One they're either not conservative enough, or

207
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.359
two they are just a bunch of
whimps. So they pretend to be conservative,

208
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.079
but then when push comes to shove, they are not. This is

209
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.319
where people like met Romney come into
play. In the past, people like

210
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.000
John McCain in the past, or
currently people like Todd Young Senator in my

211
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:53.119
state, people like Eric Holcombe who
still hunkered down as far as I know,

212
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:59.880
governor of Indiana. And there's a
lot of moderate type of folks,

213
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.079
and of course campaign season comes around, and I mean they're they're pounding their

214
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.279
chest, they're acting like they're the
most conservative and principled people on the face

215
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.200
of planet Earth. But they just
want to be reelected and have the position

216
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:17.759
and all this sort of stuff.
Yeah, I would at least I would

217
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.000
respect these folks more if they just
said, you know what, I'm just

218
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.799
not as conservative. I don't think, you know, I think this about

219
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.720
this issue. I at least have
a respect for Bernie Sanders. I do.

220
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.319
I think I think Bernie Sanders is
convinced of the lunacy that runs around

221
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.839
in his head that socialism or as
he would put at democratic socialism is better,

222
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.559
but I at least respect that.
Tell me what you think. Don't

223
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.240
play games, don't be a professional
deceiver, don't be as sophist. Don't

224
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.319
be someone that campaigns to get vote, you know, just to get the

225
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:57.160
votes to secure your position, and
then do nothing that you're going that you

226
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:02.359
told us you were going to do. It's one of the sickening parts of

227
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.799
politics, no matter the party,
no matter the candidate. I mean,

228
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.839
well, I guess it matters the
candidate, but a lot of times it

229
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.480
doesn't a lot of It's the way
that it is for a lot of these

230
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.799
these candidates. So um, but
I think, what what I don't know

231
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.920
that Trump. Trump's a very savvy
guy, right, He's a very savvy

232
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.680
guy, but I don't know if
he fully appreciates the concept. See he

233
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:37.680
came in as and he's not ideological, which was I think one of the

234
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.720
reasons why many conservatives were late to
the game with Trump. And by the

235
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.640
way, folks, I don't want
to comment on I don't really comment on

236
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:56.680
what other people who have platforms say, consume conservatives are so called conservatives say.

237
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.839
But it's amazing to me how a
certain there's a lot of folks that

238
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:07.559
were never Trumpers in twenty sixteen.
They eventually came around in twenty twenty,

239
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:14.039
and here they are talking about twenty
twenty four. And again I'm not saying,

240
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.359
you know that they're wrong on saying
to Santis is the right pick,

241
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.279
But I still think it's a little
because they don't understand Trump, or understand

242
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.200
what he does, or don't like
his style. And again I'm understanding to

243
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:33.759
a point, but I think if
you're too picky on that, it demonstrates

244
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:41.000
the possibility that you should rethink just
how serious this fight is that we're facing.

245
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.880
Because we aren't in a fight for
the survival of the republic, not

246
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.440
in the way that Biden and the
left talk about, not because white supremacists

247
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.799
are running out there trying to overthrow
the government and stage a coup, a

248
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:59.519
tar or whatever, an insurrection on
January sixth. But instead, we have

249
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:10.839
an ongoing, methodical process that is
basically designed to well destroy the the the

250
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:17.720
the morality I guess of this country. That's why things like Hollywood and education,

251
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.079
that that's why there's an all out
assault on reason, on decency.

252
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:27.000
This is where the trans movement comes
from This is where the and I'm telling

253
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:32.799
you these are these are spiritually based
sorts of things. These are you know,

254
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.519
the Bible says we don't wage against
our battles against flesh and blood.

255
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.559
These are There's there's that applies today. Now there are some things that are

256
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:48.440
disagreements about politics, but there are
there's also a battle, a battle for

257
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:53.000
the hearts, minds, and souls
of of Americans, and that that leads

258
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.319
into a lot of these fights,
a whole lot of these fights today.

259
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:03.839
That's why I think a lot of
churches of churches they've they've basically decided they're

260
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.519
not going to get involved in politics. And I respect the idea of what

261
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:12.599
not getting involved in true politics,
but politics has hijacked everything. Politics has

262
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.519
actually taken over things at the Bible
and that people of faith actually have should

263
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.680
have opinions on from a spiritual perspective, and they should be able to voice

264
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:30.680
those their perspective and so forth,
and but they haven't. They haven't because

265
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.119
they've been intimidated or whatever. And
now we've got this cultural ride everywhere,

266
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:40.200
even up to and including and even
many or some or many of our churches

267
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.599
anyway. But I don't think so
that's all going on in the background.

268
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.640
And so there are people that have
seen this. They don't like this,

269
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:55.000
they're bothered by this, and they
saw Trump come onto the scene, and

270
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.680
they may have been skeptical at first. Then when he first came down the

271
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.759
escalator, I gotta be honest,
I was a little bit like, oh

272
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.440
boy, this is gonna be something
else. But it didn't take long for

273
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.519
me to start listening to what he
said and then to realize I see the

274
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:18.880
fight necessary to see it through.
And so while he's not an ideological person

275
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:25.200
like most conservatives are, he ends
up on the conservative sides of a conservative

276
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.079
side of issues many times because he
kind of operates from a common sense,

277
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:37.759
business sort of perspective. I think
there are some principles he still needs to

278
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.960
get a better grasp of, but
he's not ideological, and as such,

279
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:49.559
I think he has how do I
say this? I think maybe he clearly

280
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.960
understands that he has a personal movement, but it's greater. It's even greater

281
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.519
than him at this point. And
that's why I would say to him,

282
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.960
mister President, And if I was
in that room, I would be very

283
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:08.359
careful in the way that I attacked
the Santis because DeSantis is part of this

284
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.039
movement. Now, the right way
to look at this is to say,

285
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:18.640
you know what, De Santis followed
my lead, and he can, by

286
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.680
extension, he can be good at
following my lead in twenty twenty eight as

287
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.000
well. I think that's the way
to deal with this because I think that's

288
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.480
what many of us. Many of
us see De Santis has adopted many of

289
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.480
the mannerisms, the hand gestures,
the way that he deals with the reporters.

290
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.200
Now he has a fiery side too, And I don't want to say

291
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:42.160
that it's all something that he's emulated
from Trump, but Folks, some of

292
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:48.359
these things that he's some of the
movements and the cadence that he has adopted

293
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.720
over the course of time, I
think can directly be traced to what he

294
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.440
witnessed from Trump. And I'm okay
with that. I am. I'm not

295
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:04.640
meaning that critically. I'm just saying
the right way for the larger movement is

296
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:11.960
to not cause World War three metaphorically
between Trump and the Santas. It's for

297
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.279
Trump to be able, and that's
why I wish the Santas honestly wouldn't wouldn't

298
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.000
run right now, even though I'm
okay with him one and if that makes

299
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.240
sense to you, But if he's
gonna run, um, I just I

300
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:27.799
think that that could potentially hurt him
in twenty twenty eight because there's so many

301
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:34.640
people that once they run into that
buzz saw of Donald J. Trump politically

302
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:40.160
speaking, of course, they've it's
hard to it's hard to rebound from that.

303
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:47.039
It really is Marco Rubio small hands
or little little Marco. Isn't that

304
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:48.400
what he called him? I mean, he just has a way of doing

305
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.880
this, and it may be juven
I'm not defending it. I'm just saying

306
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:57.200
he's a buzz saw. And where
many people are willing to look past a

307
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:03.440
lot of that because they understand that
you have to have a fighter who's principled,

308
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:11.279
who understands that there are people and
systems and hold departments in the government

309
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:18.279
that really need to be either eliminated
or completely revamped from from the top down,

310
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:25.759
and so having that fight, having
that willingness to take those things head

311
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.720
on from day one, I would
even say before day one. That's that's

312
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:36.519
where I think Trump has the advantage. But he only has it. I

313
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.039
think he begins to lose some of
it if he makes it him versus the

314
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.920
Santas, because really the truth I
know it is for the primary if the

315
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.079
Santa stows his name in today as
he says he's going to, or as

316
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:52.880
it is reported, and as we
presume he will. But it's really a

317
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.440
movement, a movement now, and
Trump wouldn't like me saying this, but

318
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.240
it's greater than Trump, folks.
It is this, greater than Trump.

319
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.599
That's why we need other people.
We need people like I'm filling the blank.

320
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:07.519
I don't want to throw names out, but I will say to Santa

321
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:12.480
since he's in in this particular conversation. So those are my thoughts on that.

322
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.880
Timeouts in order, my friends.
When we get back, I want

323
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:22.279
to talk about why US senators maybe
getting issued satellite phones. This could be

324
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.839
something of interest to you. I
think you'll want to hear it. We'll

325
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.359
talk about it on the other side
of the break, my friends. Sittight

326
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:45.880
back here in just a minute.
Back, my friends, So before the

327
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.559
break, I alluded to a story
that you may or may not have seen.

328
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:56.440
I'm looking at it here in the
Western Journal dot com headline US senators

329
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:04.279
are being issued satellite phones and preparation
or quote, a disruptive event. I

330
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:11.960
think at the time that this article
was published, let's see I think I

331
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:18.759
saw let's look here signing numerous of
people familiar with the matter. CBS News

332
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:25.319
reported all one hundred senators were recently
offered the phones. More than fifty took

333
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.799
Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson up
on the offer. The network reported that

334
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.400
Gibson, she's the sergeant of Arms, said the phones were offered last month

335
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:41.519
as a means to quote ensure a
redundant and secure means of communication during a

336
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:47.200
disruptive event. So one could say, Okay, is this just something that

337
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:52.559
they have been thinking about and you
know, this is just the latest step,

338
00:29:53.599 --> 00:30:00.119
or or oh is there a reason
for them? Or does this,

339
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:08.599
I guess, indicate the possibility that
there is a problem that they're not telling

340
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.880
us about, which I mean,
of course, when have we ever seen

341
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.519
this, by the way, where
they haven't told us the story, or

342
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:22.480
they told us misinformation or they tried
to coerce us, right, I mean,

343
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:30.279
we have reasons to be skeptical here
without being termed conspiracy theorists. The

344
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.559
conspiracy theorists are right more and more
by the day, but without you know,

345
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.000
some some don't want that label applied
to them. But folks, it

346
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:45.839
is very reasonable given what we have
been through with COVID in particular. But

347
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:52.000
it's not just COVID COVID the way
that we shut the government down during COVID,

348
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.960
or the way that they shut it
down, the way that they went

349
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.400
way out of control and shut every
facet of life down. Remember that,

350
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:06.480
I know you, remember that you
live that you lived that for a couple

351
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.319
of years. Some people are still
I was driving, I was driving through

352
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.839
on our trip back from Orlando Monday
night. There's a toll road. We

353
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.519
run, I pull over and we
pay with cash, and one of the

354
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:27.400
ladies in there in a toll booth
all by yourself. And most people go

355
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.279
through because they have the whatever the
Florida passes. They don't even pull over.

356
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:38.279
And you know she had she had
a mask and gloves on. I

357
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.279
bet, I mean, I was
the only one in line, and most

358
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.519
people they told me that it costs
more. I'm a little bit of a

359
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.880
tight wad and stuff like this.
I guess you can get the bill mailed

360
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.519
to you, even out of state, if they get you, if you

361
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.119
if you go if you stay on
the road, but you save money,

362
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.240
I guess from what maybe they're lying
to me, I don't know, possibly,

363
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.720
but if you pull over anyway,
So, these these things have taken

364
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.400
over people's lives to where it's radically
transformed the way that they've they've lived.

365
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:15.680
But it's not just COVID, it's
definitions of words. What is a woman

366
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:22.599
who can um who can compete in
NC double A sports and on on in

367
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:32.799
the women's division, right, it's
um some some misinformation we've been given during

368
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:40.519
or through critical race theory. It's
there's a number number of things. Remember

369
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.480
when the FBI was looking into parents
at school board meetings. Now we're being

370
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:52.720
told the biggest threat domestically in the
United States is white supremacy. And here

371
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.559
I am and probably you as well. We're wondering, then, are these

372
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:01.640
senators being given sat phones because because
the white supremacists are gonna do something?

373
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.480
Or is there something else that's potentially
on the horizon here? And by the

374
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.640
way, that reminds me. This
all reminds me, and I was thinking

375
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.880
about this as I was getting ready
for for the program today. But experts

376
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:21.680
say that China is holding a massive
amount of food. And soon they're gonna

377
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:27.039
have over two thirds of the globes
globes corn reserves. They're gonna have over

378
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.079
half of its rice, they're gonna
have over half of its wheat. And

379
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.359
when they're asked about it, of
course, China, like our government,

380
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.519
by the way, in many instances, they lie. There's China. One

381
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.680
China expert said that, of course
they'll never admit to doing something like that.

382
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:50.319
So when you think about that and
you look at just China hoarding the

383
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.880
food, when you look at sat
phones, when you look at the reality

384
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:02.599
that China is the number the number
one food importer in the world, and

385
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.400
you begin to see what they're doing, you begin to see some of these

386
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:12.760
indications that maybe there's reasons to be
prepared, right, reasons to at least

387
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:17.119
pay attention and to think about being
prepared. And that could extend even to

388
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:23.280
things like food shortages. And that's
why we have here in the fifth Wheel

389
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:30.440
a supply of food three months supply
from Four Patriots Survival Food. You can

390
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:37.079
create your own stockpile the best selling
Four Patriots Survival Food kits. They're hand

391
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.039
packed in the US. The kits
are compact, they're easy to stack.

392
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.360
They have different types of food.
There's breakfasts, there's lunches, there's dinners.

393
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:51.280
They have a lot of five star
reviews on the website that rave about

394
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.199
their flavor and taste. And if
you use our discount code Huff it's the

395
00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:00.400
last name this time, not the
first name, Huff Huff, you can

396
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.880
get ten percent you're off your purchase
at four patriots dot com. That's the

397
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:12.039
number four Patriots dot com discount code
or promo code Huff. That's the last

398
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:16.519
name of yours, truly for Patriots
dot Com promo code Huff. So you

399
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:22.280
think about all of these things,
right, and it's it's just worth taking

400
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:28.199
note of the things that are happening
in the world. And there's a difference

401
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.639
between being being paranoid and being prepared. But definitely when we go back to

402
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:38.320
this story with what's happening here with
the senators being issued satellite phones just in

403
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.320
case there's a disruptive events, I
mean, it makes you wonder, right,

404
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:45.719
And then of course you see what
China does with the food supply,

405
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.079
you see what the left does when
they're in positions of power, and there's

406
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.599
reasons to be prepared and engaged in
this world today. Time out is in

407
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.159
order, my friends. You're listening
here to conservative not better talk back here

408
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.199
in there we go find the right
tab my friends. Back in just a

409
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:10.119
minute, my friends. Not a
lot of time remaining here, But I

410
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:16.039
wanted to get to this story as
well. Target. You may have seen

411
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:22.079
Target, and well, let me
back up next week, a week from

412
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:29.280
my guess it would be tomorrow.
Week from tomorrow kicks off Pride Month,

413
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:35.639
LGBTQ, all the rest of the
letters. You know what I'm talking about.

414
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:42.960
And this of course includes the tea
the transgender community. So Target has

415
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.000
a whole that they have these displays. If you've been to Target, I

416
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:52.480
think it depends where you are in
the country where these displays are being set

417
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.840
up. I'm sorry, I'm looking
at a tag here. I'm sorry if

418
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.679
there's young heirs cover them. But
this I'm looking at Swim where it says

419
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:09.599
the tuck it has tuck friendly construction, extra crotch coverage. I just I

420
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.159
can't, folks, I just can't. But anyway, I'm just telling you

421
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.800
what's going on. Well, Target, there's been a lot of people that

422
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.519
have kind of shined the light on
what is going on here. And there's

423
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:28.320
also like onesies and kids T shirts
that are talking about I don't know,

424
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:34.360
gender fluidity and I just the whole
gender stuff for kids. So it gets

425
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.880
it brings that issue to the surface
as well, and people are upset about

426
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:44.519
this, and rightfully so so Target
apparently, according to headline here at Fox

427
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:51.280
News, they held an emergency meeting
over the LGBTQ merchandise in some stores to

428
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:55.199
avoid a quote bud Light situation,
referring to the bud Light situation with Dylan

429
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:01.719
mulvaney, and it says, here's
some southern location move that pride displays and

430
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.559
apparel away from the front of the
store. So there you go. Maybe

431
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.800
some of you have seen these,
maybe some of you have taken pictures of

432
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:14.719
this stuff. I don't know.
Share it with me. I'd love to

433
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.559
see what you're seeing out there.
I don't go to I don't go to

434
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:21.079
Target. I still an ODS during
the break I think I bought a iPhone

435
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.880
plug to charge, you know,
connect my chord to there. But that's

436
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.199
about it anyway, just sharing,
folks. Got to take a break back

437
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:40.800
here in just a minute. Welcome
back, my friends. Not a lot

438
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:49.320
of time remaining actually just waning seconds
of today's program. So again we covered

00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:54.320
