I don't 11 00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,159 know how different, but at least a little because I was. 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,679 I was more reflective after yesterday's show, and I'll be 13 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:41,560 here all weeks. I get to be reflective every day. 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,600 But I was really trying to get through. You know, 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,119 we oftentimes get callers that they disagree with the host 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,799 or they disagree with Trump, and they ask questions. And 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,359 what those questions usually are, and this goes back, yeah 18 00:00:56,439 --> 00:00:59,920 decades in talk radio, is that they will all already 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,520 know the answer and they will try to ask a 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,159 very pointed question that is designed to make you know 21 00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:11,640 the conservative perspective, well not the conservative perspective, but trump. 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,719 You know, a difficult answer I had someone online saying 23 00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:16,719 when was the last time the budget was balanced? I 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,959 think it was during Clinton. That is true, those those 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,640 last four years of Bill Clinton. The budget was balanced 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,840 heading into George Bush's term, but it was the Clinton 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319 budget with the first two years really kind of set 28 00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,359 the stage with new Gingrich's contract with America to which 29 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:35,159 Clinton And here's what made that work was that Clinton 30 00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,560 acquiesced and literally in the State of the Union did 31 00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:42,359 something that Democrats have not done since when he said, 32 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,640 and I quote, the era of big government is over. 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,719 So there was a a balanced budget. In fact, there 34 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:52,719 was a surplus, and and that was a different time 35 00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:55,239 rolling into it set up it set up the dot 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,040 com bubble burst of the overvaluing of the dot com sector. 37 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:02,000 But that wasn't when Clinton or Gingris's But it was 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,200 a great It showed that limiting government, limiting the power 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080 of government, limiting what it could do, requiring work with 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,120 you know, medicaid, require having a welfare work requirement. Those 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,319 policies were all very successful. So you have to give, 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,319 as someone would say, have to have credit where credits due. 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Those two working together did something that we haven't really 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,319 seen since we became We kind of went through a 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000 unity that is rare after nine to eleven. And the 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,159 sad reality is the intelligence gap that was that existed 47 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:40,319 in the nineties throughout the Clinton presidency led on too. 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,039 In fact, the World Trade Center was bombed during We 49 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,039 forget that. There was a truck van that had bombs 50 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:48,199 and it went off. Didn't tear the towers down. That 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280 happened in the nineties, and then it led to nine 52 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:55,599 to eleven. And then the Bush administration and I'm not 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,400 trying to get to historic here, went on a massive 54 00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,680 spending spree and I can remember I was at the 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,599 Institute of Political Leadership. Then this massive expansion called Homeland Security. 56 00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:08,800 You know, you could you could go to the gate, 57 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,479 you know, with your family or whatever. You can't do 58 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:13,479 that anymore. You you know, now, we we took away 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400 freedoms under the auspices that were making us safer. And 60 00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:19,039 there was a lot of money that went into that, 61 00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:22,639 billions and billions of dollars, a brand new agency, super funded, 62 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,719 throwing more money at it to solve the problem. So 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,199 you could argue whether that was successful or not. But 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,159 you know, now we're seeing a little bit of the 65 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:32,039 scaling back. I saw this morning that I think you 66 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,360 might not they're scaling back on you having to take 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240 your shoes off, because really they need they need to 68 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,479 study how to make those lines move more quickly. It's 69 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,919 not the airlines that are necessarily you know, you're having 70 00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:43,800 to arrive at the airport two hours earlier. It's getting 71 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,479 through security. It shouldn't be that complicated. The Israelis and 72 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,000 several other countries do this very well. By the way, 73 00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,319 Not to get off on that, tangent I said that 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,479 was kind of a preface to where I wanted to 75 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,840 head in some of the show. There's a lot more 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,400 topics obviously that we're going to talk about it, and 77 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,120 who knows what may come up with a caller that 78 00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,759 has something to say. But having said all that, what 79 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,319 it would say is that the situation that there's two 80 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120 sides of the coin that are rather extreme right now, 81 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,599 and that is the MAGA movement and the TDS movement. 82 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,160 So the MAGA movement is not that extreme. There are 83 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,360 extremists in it, but by and large it's it's how 84 00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:26,000 the Tea Party evolved, I mean Trump in many ways. 85 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,319 This is what I don't understand why liberal lefties can't 86 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:33,000 figure this out. He's not difficult to figure out. He's 87 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,360 not an ogre. If you were, if you're John Fetterman, 88 00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,120 you get this. I don't know why, and I think 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,639 other Democrats do, but they're they're thinking that if they 90 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,439 agree with him in any way, it's only going to 91 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,959 make him stronger. He's not a tyrant. He's just not 92 00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,120 whether you like him or not, He's not whether you 93 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,279 like him or not. He's not a fascist. He's not 94 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:54,399 trying to expand the role of the federal government. And 95 00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:58,439 what made him the real groups of people that made 96 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,920 Trump stronger, made him undefeatable, was the left. It wasn't 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,920 the mag of faithful, although they were going to stick 98 00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:08,839 with him through thick and thin. But when you learn 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,720 that the prosecution in New York was a political prosecution, 100 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279 the Letitia James thing. When you when you prosecute that, 101 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,639 and people have never been prosecuted for that, and even 102 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,800 the banks were testifying that, hey, we were we were 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,120 fine with that. When when you see, you know, Alvin 104 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,439 Bragg prosecuting for something that's never been done before, you know, 105 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,639 creating felonies that no one's ever been prosecuted, the public 106 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,759 sees that this is the problem whether whether you Trump's convicted. Yeah, 107 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,399 but he was convicted of something that no one's ever 108 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:42,439 been convicted of before, never ever, you know, even and 109 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,519 Laticia James that they undervalued his property, Mari al Lago. 110 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,160 That was the American public saw that they went after 111 00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:50,319 him on the loans, which the banks said, hey, we 112 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,160 would loan money to him. Again, the loans were paid back. 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360 It was this creation of a prosecution that made a 114 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,519 lot of Americans go, wait a minute, they can do 115 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:01,560 that to him, they can do that to me, They 116 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,319 can really do this. That they weaponized justice that's supposed 117 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,240 to be blind. Then the situation in Georgia was just laughable. 118 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:14,319 Whatever happened to that, whatever happened that just went away 119 00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,879 in a corrupt prosecutor, her paramore, her lover involved. He's 120 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,360 getting there, going on trips together while they're going after Trump, 121 00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:25,600 saying hey, where are the good guys here? So those things, 122 00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:27,639 and then you know the Russia collusion, which turned out 123 00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:29,439 to be a lie, the hundred laptop story. It was 124 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,160 buried by the left and news media. So if you 125 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,399 wanted to make Trump stronger, you couldn't have written a 126 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,480 better script to do so you have the media fallover 127 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,199 itself to cover up things or not cover stories, or 128 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,759 say they're illegitimate when they are. You have people like 129 00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:44,920 Adam Shift saying I have the evidence to prosecute him, 130 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,079 I'm going after him, and you never present anything. You 131 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,000 basically have made Trump to be bulletproof for lack of 132 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,199 a better phrase, and he's not because he almost got killed. 133 00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:59,759 But you guys on the left did that. You said 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,160 things that were just patently on trade. Then you couple 135 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,000 that during COVID, you know, exploring the lab league theory, 136 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 you made fun of anybody that said that, oh, it's 137 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,839 possible that a place that studies viruses like this might 138 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,240 possibly could have released one into the public. No, you 139 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:17,959 made it about, you know, a dead critter in a 140 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,720 wet market, and you you ridiculed and made fun of 141 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,240 any anybody that said otherwise, even though the Institute of 142 00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,920 Virology in Wuhan is right there and was studying this, 143 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,319 which now most intelligence agencies agree was probably a leak. 144 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,839 So in every possible way, and then during COVID the 145 00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:40,120 freedoms and the way the left went zealously after freedoms 146 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:44,800 during that virus, it just in bold and made it 147 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,360 made the political right look more normal. So if anyone 148 00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,040 owns it, it's the left. Now we'll talk about the 149 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,040 difference here. Now that again, you all child just going 150 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480 after those democrats again. No, no, no, no, I'm going after 151 00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:57,759 those two movements. Whether you're a Democrat or republican's relevant 152 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,399 because a lot of fiscal conservatives are. We're sick of 153 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,040 the Republican party. We'll talk about that on the other 154 00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:02,680 side of the break. 155 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:05,279 Speaker 1: You know, stories are powerful.

It's 185 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,840 so funny. We really should be talking about differences between 186 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,519 the party. If I were to tell you here's the 187 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,440 Democrat vision for the country, you can't really do that. 188 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:53,320 Now it is marked by just being opposed to one individual. 189 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,240 It's kind of, it's not kind of. It is a 190 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,039 a very primitive place to be politically, I mean Heretofore, 191 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,919 Democrats liked to have big debates about given issues. You know, 192 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,440 the Great Society was marked with huge debates about the 193 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,200 role of the new creation of Medicaid, the new welfare state, 194 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,759 the new Great Society. Republicans pushing back, and then along 195 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:24,399 comes Reagan and you have this massive conservative pushback. You know, 196 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,120 I'm here from the government, I'm here to help you, 197 00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,240 being one of the most feared phrases, you know, from 198 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,159 a Reagan perspective. So we had these debates, you know, 199 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:36,120 empathy that the Democrats were very empathetic to people, so 200 00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:39,960 they wanted to provide more things. They they they it 201 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,240 wasn't a profession of a profession of Christian faith as 202 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:45,480 you as an individual stepping up and helping your fellow man. 203 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Democrats perspective of that same mentality is that we should 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120 create a program and those programs should help people out. 205 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,440 But at least there was a debate, and there's not now. 206 00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:00,320 It's whatever the guy in the White House says is 207 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,279 an instant knee jerk. Reaction to why people will die. 208 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,639 It's the weirdest thing. You know. When AID was being debated, 209 00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:10,679 not even debated. When they said we're going to cut aid, 210 00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:13,799 the instant response from the left wasn't, well, we really 211 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,799 need to look at what it does. Well, you know, 212 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,360 as the Trump administration was putting out all of these 213 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,000 billions of dollars in chronic waste and giving it to 214 00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:25,559 countries that were, you know, basically sworn political and enemies 215 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,720 of the United States, saying hey, we're getting rid of this. 216 00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,600 Democrats didn't say, yeah, we need to get rid of 217 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,759 some of those, but we need to keep these. They 218 00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:33,840 just said, oh, people in Africa are going to die. 219 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,639 That was the response. They're going to die. Whatever, look 220 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,519 at this, this big, beautiful bill, as is apt to 221 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:45,399 be called. You know. The Democrat response wasn't let's debate 222 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,360 various parts of it are to say, hey, we like 223 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,799 these parts. Instead. Now the Democrats are on record voting 224 00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:53,200 against the or voting against the or voting for I guess, 225 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,000 the largest tax increase in US history. But their response was, 226 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,360 you know what, in your state, people are going to die. 227 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,080 That's the response in Texas when the floods happened. What 228 00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:06,960 was their instantaneous response, Not Trump administration killed people, Pete Budages. 229 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:10,799 Whenever there's a plane crash, Trump administration kill people, that's 230 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,399 their instantaneous go to. It isn't even sensical anymore. It's 231 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,240 not sensical. And then when an avowed socialist communist wins 232 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:24,159 the New York City primary, rather than say hey, we've 233 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,879 got some serious questions here now, he got Keem Jeffries, 234 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:29,440 the minority leader in the US House, the press actually 235 00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:33,919 shockingly asked him, hey, you're gonna support this guy. He 236 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240 could have said no. He could have easily said, you 237 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,000 know what, as much as I would like to, that 238 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:42,600 is not what I believe our party stands for, which 239 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:46,039 is getting rid of capitalism, you know, anti Israel and 240 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360 many anti Semitic comments the guy's made. You know, he's 241 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:55,120 made many comments that could easily be rejected by Democrats, 242 00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:58,120 but because he's a Democratic, Keem Jefferies' answer was curious. 243 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,080 He said, well, I'm meeting with him later this week. 244 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:04,399 Not a rejection of his platform, which by the way, 245 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,000 is is not the it's not the Democrat platform. But 246 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,759 by virtue of the fact that you can't reject him, 247 00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,200 and that's why the left wants everybody to reject Trump. 248 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,759 But unfortunately, the president continues to have a string of 249 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,399 victories on You would think that Democrats would embrace the piece, 250 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,759 you know, whether they hate him or not. You would 251 00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:30,799 embrace the successful peaceful endeavors in Africa, India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Bosnia. 252 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,240 You would think they would embrace that. No, it's a 253 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:42,600 full on, absolutely whack a do. It's only it's like 254 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,399 a glitch in the matrix. For those of you who 255 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,799 are inclined to like such phrases, it's like they're glitching. 256 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,919 It's like they have a software you know, a software 257 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,960 loop that prevents them from moving forward. They're still stuck 258 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,960 on the guy coming down the escalator, rather than the 259 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,720 policies that are played that make up the society today. 260 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,759 He's on the escalator. Oh he's terrible. Look at that 261 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480 guy coming down the escalator. Wait it's ten years later. 262 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,320 Oh he's still terrible. He hasn't changed. It's the devil. 263 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,519 He's been in office four years before this time. Oh 264 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,799 he's terrible. End of the world. I So you wonder 265 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,039 so so, you know, if you were to look at 266 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:22,360 the the Teds accusations of the right. It's this. It's 267 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:26,519 that that Maga people the people who want to make 268 00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:28,759 America grade again, which is the weirdest thing to reject. 269 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,000 You would think if I were a Democrat, I'd want 270 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,600 to say, hey, you guys, my party makes America great. 271 00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:37,360 We're make America. We're the original make America Great party. 272 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,360 That's not true, but I would at least try to 273 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,480 co instead. You have to be against America to be 274 00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:45,200 against Trump, because you're letting him, you're keeping the brand. 275 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,000 You're literally calling the people that support him make America 276 00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:52,279 great people. That's just so anyway. But the accusations of 277 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,720 this before we get to the bottom of the hour, 278 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:57,960 is that that Maga people worship Donald Trump. And this 279 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:00,919 is where this is why you miss this. It's sure 280 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,240 there are people that, I mean, especially after all of 281 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:05,279 the lies everything I just did, the Russia thing, that 282 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,399 you guys were wrong on the political prosecution of him, 283 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,919 the Biden decline that you guys covered up the COVID origins, 284 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,240 which you on the left covered up. You know, these 285 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,440 multiple false narratives that were all wrong. You think that 286 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840 Maga people worship in what the Maga people do that 287 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:22,279 you called them maga is that they were the tea 288 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,200 party that started liking the tax enough already president that 289 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,159 they have now, so he is an affirmation of them 290 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,480 rather than the worship of him, although you can say 291 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,120 it either way, but it's mutual respect from both groups. 292 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,240 You think that they're a cult because they disagree with you, 293 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,440 which is funny because all the things I just told 294 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,080 you would be indicative of a cult kind of thing. 295 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120 The full scale rejection of the reality about all of 296 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,759 the things I just even the Biden declined. You almost 297 00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,240 imagine a cult leader that all the problems Biden did, 298 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,679 and you stuck with that cult leader. You're like the 299 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,559 l Ron Hubbard people. Biden was clearly on you. Guys 300 00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:03,639 still wouldn't reject, wouldn't even admit the truth to America. 301 00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:07,200 Even the media were more cult like here. God, there's 302 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,519 so much to this. This is a rich tapestry of 303 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,960 opportunities for both sides to grow and become better. We'll 304 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,519 see if they do. 305 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,759 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea.

You 332 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,599 can get in and move right out now, win of 333 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480 the break. We were talking about this distinction. It's not 334 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:51,119 an attack on the left, it's not calling them names 335 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,400 and that, but it is that. It is this completely 336 00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:59,440 mystifying reality. Now I right now, I would tell you 337 00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,799 I strongly believe that the Trump administration has a couple 338 00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:06,160 of landmines that are laying out there, and one of 339 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,519 them has been stepped on, and we'll talk about that soon. 340 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720 It's not him, it's one of the people in his 341 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:16,200 team that I believe is creating a moment that really 342 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,680 needs to be addressed, and we'll talk about that soon. 343 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:23,839 But this difference, this distinction between the TDS, the Trump 344 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,960 derangement syndrome on the left, and it's pervasive. You know, MAGA, 345 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,359 is you put an American flag out your maga. You're 346 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,160 just in a cult if you, you know, put a 347 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,519 Trump flag, God forbid you put a Trump flag somewhere. 348 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,359 Oh my gosh, look at that person. But what I'm 349 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,680 noticing is the attempt to shame Trump supporters backfired completely 350 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,559 over the past eight years or so. It backfired unbelievable. 351 00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:56,960 I don't think the political left has realized that they 352 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,279 are the ones that are contributing to the growth in 353 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,359 the Trump base that in many ways is redefining the 354 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,400 Republican Party. Heretofore, the Republican Party attempted to attempted to 355 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,160 define itself as a fiscally conservative, kind of a little 356 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,200 hawkish on foreign policy, and socially conservative. And what we've 357 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,079 seen in this realignment is that the Trump administration, in 358 00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:23,319 spite of protestations from the political left, it is not 359 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:27,559 all that socially conservative. I mean, it's it's just not 360 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:31,720 it's not going after and and going after any of 361 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,960 these sacred calism left. It's saying, hey, the transis you know, 362 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,279 there are two sexes. That that's where they are. But 363 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,880 as far as the rest of it, they're not the 364 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,119 LGBTQ stuff that they're not going to be DEI, but 365 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,759 they're like, hey, we want to go to a meritocracy 366 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:51,599 in society. You you're the smartest person in the room, 367 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,839 you move to the front of the class, or the 368 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:54,839 strongest person there, you move to the front of the class. 369 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,759 Whatever it is you do, you do to live, thrive, 370 00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,519 and survive. It's about meritocracy, about being the best. Whether 371 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:02,599 you're pilot, a surgeon, a plumber, electrician, whatever you are, 372 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,200 you climbed to the top. That's your goal. And I'll 373 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,319 get to the Medicaid cuts also in the show, because 374 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,519 the left has just fabricated these these lies, and we'll 375 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:13,920 get to that because because Medicaid is not actually being cut, 376 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,799 it's still growing. This is something that the Democrats. I 377 00:20:16,839 --> 00:20:20,640 remember debating Congressman Bob Ethridge one time on television and 378 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240 he was talking about all these horrible cuts to government. 379 00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:26,119 And I said, Bob, if I want to give you 380 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,240 one thousand dollars and then instead I'm going to give 381 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,680 you five hundred dollars, you're still getting more money. I 382 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,799 just cut the full amount. So this wasn't actually a cut. 383 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,640 But the Democrat bobsled on TV and just said they're 384 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,799 cutting and that's what you see now there's actually not cuts. 385 00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:45,640 It's not look at it was going to get a 386 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,599 billion and now it's going to get nine hundred million. 387 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,759 It's was going to get one point five billion instead 388 00:20:50,759 --> 00:20:53,400 of gets like one point twenty five billion. It's still growing. 389 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,119 That's one of the problems. But I digress. What I 390 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,799 really hope I do hope we get to the point 391 00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:01,559 where we have debates and society again instead of just 392 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,559 castigating the other side around Trump. I think the Democrats 393 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,599 are find themselves in a deep poll because they just 394 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,440 wanted to be about him and the people on the right. 395 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:13,440 I mean, I'll give Rand Paul a little bit of credit. 396 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,240 I disagree with him, but he's consistently libertarian on debt 397 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,799 and deficit spending. That's why he voted against the billing. Now, 398 00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:21,799 Tom tell us one of the problems with Tom and 399 00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:25,200 why he cost him his political career, is because he's inconsistent. 400 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:29,119 He's for it, he's against it. Here they didn't really 401 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720 worry about medicaid. That was anthy worried about medicaid. He's inconsistent, 402 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,680 and that pragmatism is what was became intolerable from the 403 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,960 political right. So some of the other things is that 404 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000 the political left is driven by anger about one person. 405 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:52,039 They're beyond logic at a certain point. And what proved 406 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,599 that was the COVID narrative. They were beyond logical, and 407 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,200 that their initial reaction when the masking and Fouch and 408 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,359 all of that stuff was Everything that came out of 409 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,160 that mouth, everything that came from the news media was 410 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,400 one hundred percent true. Everything came out of Fauci's mouth. 411 00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:10,519 Nemverer Fauci saying, I am science. No scientists in their 412 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:13,720 right mind would say that. You know you have a 413 00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:17,200 eighth craators know this. You have a hypothesis. To test 414 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,920 the hypothesis? Did you did you prove or disprove the hypothesis? 415 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,599 They moved to the next level of science. You keep 416 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,880 moving up. It's never proven. There's a lot that turns 417 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,200 out what's wrong about what Fauci said. So we and 418 00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,279 the political left could have learned why do Americans not 419 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,799 trust the media now? So instead of Democrats saying, you 420 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:38,839 know what, I know why I don't trust that, I 421 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,759 completely get why the white people don't trust the media anymore, 422 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,599 they double down on it. MSNBC numbers start tanking they 423 00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:50,720 double down on why they were bad. CNN's numbers start tanking, 424 00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:52,480 they double down on why they were bad. They never 425 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:54,359 look in the mirror, go you know what, we probably 426 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,519 should have been more fair. I was reading one this morning. 427 00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,079 It was it was about media, the media research anyway. 428 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,880 It was about npr are and ninety three percent of 429 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,359 their coverage was anti Republican. This is funded with your 430 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,200 taxpayer money for now, for now, but that's probably going 431 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,039 to change. I mean, if you have one group that's 432 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,799 that's that's the problem. I think Fetterman, oddly enough, I 433 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:20,359 think John Fetterman represents a path that the Democrats could 434 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,240 become a force to be reckoned with. But instead, I 435 00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:28,799 think that the Chuck Schumer's, the Nancy Pelosi's, the Corey Bookers, 436 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,200 I could name all of them the crowd. Instead, I 437 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,640 think they're they're more interested in Trump stumbling than they 438 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,559 are giving Americans another choice, and that is particularly terrifying. 439 00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:47,960 There they're stumbling, they're stumbling, Fetterman said. I think Fetterman 440 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,960 gives them a golden opportunity to say, hey, when he 441 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,279 does something we agree with, say it, and then we 442 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,079 then that gives us because if you if you agree 443 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,640 with it once in a while, that actually gives you 444 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:02,680 viability on other issues. Hey, he was really reasonable on 445 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,480 that last issue. Maybe he's got a point here. And 446 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:09,240 the mag of people don't think Trump is flawless. They're 447 00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:11,200 not all Trump all the time. They're going to support him. 448 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,759 If you guys attack him, they're going to double down 449 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,599 and support him. And I think that's what the left 450 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,599 wants to politically count on. If we just keep attacking 451 00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:20,279 his base, you know, it'll make them look dumber and 452 00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:23,359 dumber and dumber. But that's just the opposite is happening, 453 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,880 because then as the more you attack it, the more 454 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,480 we see these videos, the more we see these videos 455 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,839 of the multihired people that are screaming at the woods 456 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,759 and stuff, it's just they're lunatics. And that's where you're 457 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:38,400 embracing or embracing that lunacy. 458 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 459 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:42,519 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 460 00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:44,599 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 461 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,720 me say get your news from multiple sources.

I didn't know it would extend this 481 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,759 fart honor and privileged to be here. But this, all 482 00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:56,559 of what I'm telling you is not an attack of Democrats. 483 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,759 The Democrats, you know, in the past thirty years, they 484 00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:04,599 had moments. There were Southern Democrats that had a bit 485 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,640 of a conservative ideology. I mean, the Zell Miller types 486 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,559 are gone. They're just they've gone away, and the ones 487 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:16,559 that remained the party has moved. It's not progressive, it's 488 00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:20,920 actually oddly regressive. It's moved further to the left. The 489 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,799 irony if you were to look at North Carolina for instance, 490 00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:26,640 and look at Roy Cooper. Roy Cooper starts out in 491 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,240 the legislature in the late eighties, about eighty nine, literally 492 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,359 the end of the eighties, and he goes through a 493 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,160 period of time the legislature, which is one hundred percent 494 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,599 driven by Democrats. Now, those Democrats at that time in 495 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,039 the nineties, they had lefty elements. I mean they did. 496 00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:44,799 They had the ones that you never could you're never 497 00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:46,400 going to give education if you're never going to give 498 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,359 enough money to government. But there were some reality checks 499 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,000 in there. They never would have brought up the transgender issue. 500 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,799 I mean even the Clintons were against gay marriage back then. 501 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,039 So it was a different time and both parties. You know, 502 00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:04,799 as much as the left castigated the right for being 503 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,039 too far right, which was always their accusation, they were moving. 504 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,599 They were surrendering the middle ground on every issue. In 505 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,480 moving further and further left. You saw that in early 506 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:18,799 two thousands through the Obama era. The age of the 507 00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,079 government returned instantly. With Obama, I mean, the Affordable Care 508 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,240 Act was a complete repudiation of the Clinton era policies. 509 00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:29,119 It was big government, the way to move to socialism 510 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,200 under the auspices of your pretending to let people have insurance, 511 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,640 but it's funded by the government, and it didn't make 512 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,559 things more affordable and made it go through the roof, 513 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,119 and knowing that you wanted to break it. You wanted 514 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,519 to break the healthcare insurance private sector side. You wanted 515 00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,240 to make it so affordable that the battle cry that 516 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,519 would go up across the nation was please government take 517 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,079 over healthcare. So you see a consolidation of the hospitals. 518 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,119 You see doctors being purchased. You see these hospital cartels 519 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,880 get created to make enemies of hospital cartels. When you 520 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,519 get rid of competition, you get rid of competition by 521 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,799 having a certificate of need laws in place. In North 522 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:11,240 Carolina has one, and eventually it's so broken. You know, 523 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,880 other than met healthcare sharing type opportunities that are out 524 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,920 there and paying cash, which by the way, I call 525 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,279 my doctor the other day about something I needed to 526 00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:23,559 have done, and I was like, Hey, how much is 527 00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,160 the cash price? Since my insurance turned it down. They 528 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:29,160 took a week and a half to tell me, Oh, well, 529 00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:30,839 we're got to fig get back with you on that one. 530 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:32,000 I said, well, just give me the price you give 531 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,880 the insurance companies. Well there's a different price. They charge 532 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,200 insurance companies more because there's more paperwork to do, so 533 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,680 it's less if you pay cash. But I say that 534 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,319 because the next couple of stories will go through are 535 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,000 kind of the background of those, whether it's a discussion 536 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,000 about what's going on with the healthcare welfare panic, what's 537 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:55,039 going on with the Texas, the Democrats reaction to the 538 00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:59,279 Texas floods, when you look at the reliability of federal 539 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,880 economic boring, boring, non sexy stuff. But all of what 540 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,279 I've told you lead up to these discussions in society, 541 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,599 lead up to the kind of discussions that I found 542 00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:13,359 several examples of that, and we will go through those. 543 00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:18,359 I mean a real good one, a lot of people, 544 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:21,279 you know, the media bias, and then your built and 545 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:23,160 by the way, I will say this, I think Democrats 546 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,119 and Republicans, you guys equally for the most part, recognize 547 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,359 media bias when you see it, which is why even 548 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,559 though you know the people on the left don't like Trump, 549 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480 many of them don't trust the media they get they 550 00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:43,640 see it. They see it when they see prognostications about 551 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,920 the end of the world. There are is that there's 552 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,519 a small group of diehard faithful that almost want the 553 00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:51,200 earth to end. And we'll talk about that also in motherhood. 554 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,559 What's happening to women through this. I mean, you saw 555 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,480 the transgender competition of sports. You see how that's affected. 556 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,920 But also this this desire, a natural instinct to I'll 557 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,000 get to and who knows that this will set people 558 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:06,799 off or not, is that men and women are fundamentally different. 559 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,400 Men and women have fundamentally different instincts. There are instincts 560 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880 that are built in to we human jest. We're not 561 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,359 just popping out ready for you know, upgrades and programming. 562 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,799 We have some built in programming. And it's very confusing 563 00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,920 for young men now who have an inclination to want 564 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,720 to protect women. It manifests itself in opening doors, It 565 00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:28,400 manifests itself with umbrellas. It manifests itself in many ways 566 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,519 that are not just manners taught, but it's by the 567 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:34,200 desire for men to protect women, and also that women 568 00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:37,920 have instincts as well. One of the most one of 569 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,839 the most serious instincts women have is to have children. Now, 570 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,759 it's some women don't want to, but there's also a 571 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:46,359 great deal of brainwashing going on to try to tell 572 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,039 women not to have children. And it's these two perspectives. 573 00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:52,559 To try to make young men not young men and 574 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,319 to make women not want to have kids is creating 575 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,160 a degree of anxiety that I've never seen. I coached 576 00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:01,680 soccer for many years and worked with kids as Fantastic 577 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,440 in the nineties, and I saw and have seen over 578 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:07,400 time there's a lot of anxiety in young men and 579 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,920 young women that are being told things that are very 580 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,519 unnatural to them. They get it, but they think that 581 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,480 something's wrong with them because they feel these instinctual issues, 582 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,400 and they'll be told that those are somehow that toxic masculinity. 583 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,559 If you open a door for a girl toxic. If 584 00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:27,000 you want to have children, how dare you want to 585 00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:29,319 destroy the planet? What's wrong with you? Is something wrong 586 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:32,720 with you? You want to bring that in? It's so expensive, 587 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,359 you shouldn't. It's going to cost you a million dollars 588 00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:37,279 to have a kid. You really want to set yourself back. 589 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,640 You should be pursuing your career. 590 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,799 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
