Speaker 1: The final hour of the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being here. I'm glad to be here. And Kevin
Speaker 1: Gordon will be here tomorrow morning, bright in early five am,
Speaker 1: so make sure you are dialed in for that time
Speaker 1: to bring in my next guest. Jim Faff is the uh,
Speaker 1: the main man at the Conservative Caucus. What exactly is
Speaker 1: your title there? Jim, I had it right there on
Speaker 1: the tip of my tongue. But you're like the president
Speaker 1: or the you know, the Grand Pooba or something like that.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I am the grand Pooba. I'm the president,
Speaker 2: and for those Spanish speakers, that's el president.
Speaker 1: And chief and chief bottle washer, right exactly.
Speaker 2: There's not a dirty bottle in the place outstanding.
Speaker 1: But Jim, it's great, it's great to have you on.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question this Judge Boseburg. In
Speaker 1: your opinion, is this guy a little bit out of
Speaker 1: control with you know, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say he's entirely out of control. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're you know, I'm sure lawyers like to argue about
Speaker 2: these things, but when you're when you're talking about a
Speaker 2: case with such prominence, where the Supreme Court so fully
Speaker 2: rejected your ideas and you have the audacity to do this.
Speaker 2: It's and it's you're and against the politician. It's one
Speaker 2: thing that you got some corporate leader, uh, does something
Speaker 2: wins an appellate court. But there was really technically something
Speaker 2: that we're trying to get by with. And whatever you can.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of ways that you can skin
Speaker 2: this cap, but that ain't one of them when you've
Speaker 2: got a political situation like this.
Speaker 1: Did the Supreme Court also say that this was not
Speaker 1: his Uh, he didn't have standing here, that it was
Speaker 1: out of his jurisdiction, and that he shouldn't exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. But see, this is how lawfare works.
Speaker 2: You go into technicalities because you have some other deep
Speaker 2: motive behind you. The Bible hates this stuff. God hates
Speaker 2: this stuff. This is called tipping the scales, you know,
Speaker 2: and having false balances. That's exactly what Bosberg is doing.
Speaker 2: It's literally, it's literally a spiritual judgment on a nation
Speaker 2: that we countenance this sort of thing, and we've we've
Speaker 2: got to actually go against it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard a news report as I was on
Speaker 1: my way into the station this morning and they were
Speaker 1: talking about this Boseburg thing, and the reporter for the
Speaker 1: network was saying that the Trump administration supported all these
Speaker 1: you know, all these alleged gang members, all these MS
Speaker 1: thirteen gang members to El Salvador without any evidence that
Speaker 1: they were in the country illegally. And what do you
Speaker 1: what do you make of that when you hear news reporters,
Speaker 1: alleged news res use that term without any evidence, without
Speaker 1: presenting any evidence. What does that say to you when
Speaker 1: you hear that.
Speaker 2: It says to me that it's entirely political. It says
Speaker 2: to me that they're not at all even judging the
Speaker 2: situation for what it actually is, and that there's no
Speaker 2: fairness or truth it related to anything that they think.
Speaker 2: You know, the wanton disregard for reality and truth in
Speaker 2: the media and in our course, as far as it
Speaker 2: goes with Bosberg and many others, is a stain upon
Speaker 2: the way that this country was founded an imperfect but
Speaker 2: good people who sought to create a system that would
Speaker 2: be fair and honest and then allow people, for whatever
Speaker 2: good bad are in different decisions that they made for
Speaker 2: them to pay the price for that on their own.
Speaker 2: But no we have, we're twist seeing things entirely. This
Speaker 2: is literally even well beyond the kind of propagandistic efforts
Speaker 2: that you would get out of out of the Russian
Speaker 2: media during the Cold War. I mean, just the outrage.
Speaker 2: You knew that they were lying all the time. You
Speaker 2: could hear it. They would formulate it in words that
Speaker 2: seemed to connect with truth in some way, but you
Speaker 2: knew that it was absolutely false. And I mean it's
Speaker 2: amazing when we watch the once in disregard for truth.
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, were we can now define women so we
Speaker 2: can get back to that truth again. But other than that,
Speaker 2: these people are outrageous. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was talking earlier this week about and the media
Speaker 1: it constantly makes a big deal about Bernie Sanders and
Speaker 1: the oligachy to that he is on and he's warning
Speaker 1: about oligarchy at every turn. I guess he's paling around
Speaker 1: with a Casio Cortes and she's raising millions of dollars
Speaker 1: and that that, you know. I mean, here we are,
Speaker 1: we haven't even been in the second Trump administration for
Speaker 1: three months yet, and we're supposed to turn our attention
Speaker 1: to what's going to happen in twenty twenty eight, Do
Speaker 1: we as conservatives have any real reason to be concerned
Speaker 1: about Bernie Sanders or a Caseyo Cortes going around and
Speaker 1: and pumping up these crowds and you know, with bash
Speaker 1: Trump and all the other stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, at the moment, no, because Democrats have such low
Speaker 2: numbers in the polls, it seems to indicate that the
Speaker 2: message is not penetrating. So at the moment it's not
Speaker 2: so bad. But I'll tell you what my worry is.
Speaker 2: It's not AOC and Bernie Sanders. My worry is Republicans
Speaker 2: in Congress. It's like, get off your duff guys, and
Speaker 2: go ahead and just pass the Trump agenda, Like just
Speaker 2: go for broke, just do it one time. Maybe let's
Speaker 2: do what everyone wanted us to do, and then just
Speaker 2: let's just see how that plays out. And Republicans have
Speaker 2: been and not all Republicans in Congress, but most of
Speaker 2: them right across the river there we have a really
Speaker 2: good one, Thomas Massey. But some of these guys don't
Speaker 2: want to do what the American people are telling them
Speaker 2: they'd like to do. And this is why Republicans are
Speaker 2: so weak in the eyes of people over time, because
Speaker 2: they throw that away but this is a supreme opportunity
Speaker 2: to give the American people what they're begging for, what
Speaker 2: they're yearning for. This was a mass don't don't forget this,
Speaker 2: this and this is a massive realignment in the electorate
Speaker 2: this last time around. You had middle class people, you
Speaker 2: had union people, you had young people all going with
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, voting for him and giving him a majority. Now,
Speaker 2: let's just understand what a Hispanic too, a biggest movement
Speaker 2: in Hispanic community. Let's let's just take a close look
Speaker 2: at what that really means and what those people are
Speaker 2: really concerned about. They're not concerned about what Bernie Sanders
Speaker 2: and ALC is talking about. They're not sitting around saying,
Speaker 2: I hope Elon Musk doesn't have my solid Security number,
Speaker 2: which he doesn't have. They're don't sitting around worried that
Speaker 2: Doge wants to cut government services. They're tired of paying
Speaker 2: for government services. So just take the message, guys and
Speaker 2: get the win. But Bernie Sanders and AOC know they've
Speaker 2: lost that base, and so they're desperately doing anything they
Speaker 2: can to get it. So far, it's not penetrating beyond
Speaker 2: their ability to get some crowds yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, but when you touched on something that I
Speaker 1: think is really important, and it has long been a
Speaker 1: frustration of mine and others who are conservative that I
Speaker 1: know of, but that in Congress when it comes time
Speaker 1: for the rubber to hit the road, so many that
Speaker 1: we rely on in Congress to carry out the agenda
Speaker 1: wind up sitting on their hands. And when you look,
Speaker 1: you know, when I look at everything that's going on
Speaker 1: with the Trump administration this time around, I can't figure
Speaker 1: out why they are choosing to act that way. You know,
Speaker 1: we just passed another continuing resolution, you know Trump this,
Speaker 1: you know, the big beautiful budget resolution bill with all
Speaker 1: the different stuff in it, and you know there are
Speaker 1: things happening in Congress to delay this procedurally and otherwise.
Speaker 1: And I don't know why they act like this time
Speaker 1: and time and time again, especially this time around, when
Speaker 1: it seems there's so much momentum in their favor.
Speaker 2: Well, never underestimate how invested a certain group of Republicans
Speaker 2: in Congress are to everything that's been going on prior
Speaker 2: to this year. That this is a really bad system.
Speaker 2: I lived in it for eight nine years with and
Speaker 2: I you know, we had all the lobbyists come to
Speaker 2: our offices, the two guys I work for, and then
Speaker 2: and sometimes then after a while you stop having them coming.
Speaker 2: These people are invested in a system that is on
Speaker 2: cruise control, where they know that they can go grab
Speaker 2: up money here and grab up money there. And I'm
Speaker 2: not just talking about the lobbies, so I'm talking to
Speaker 2: the people they represent. Like we've got a system where
Speaker 2: major corporations, particularly in the food industry is just a
Speaker 2: one recent example has been discussed. You know that you've
Speaker 2: got big corporations there that do not want to have
Speaker 2: any competition from small actors that they've successfully driven out
Speaker 2: of their markets. That happens in many industries, banking and
Speaker 2: many other places too. It's called regulatory capture, where the
Speaker 2: corporations really are running what the regulations are through these efforts.
Speaker 2: And they're Republicans who have been bought into this system.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the corrupting factors. And as you
Speaker 2: and I have talked about before, I know I've brought
Speaker 2: this up with you. I concern myself that these people
Speaker 2: who are not independently wealthy that get elected to Congress
Speaker 2: because they just want to do something good, They get
Speaker 2: that one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year paycheck,
Speaker 2: and if they ever lose an election, then they got
Speaker 2: to literally start all over in their careers because it's
Speaker 2: really that all consuming and overwhelming of job to do.
Speaker 2: You can give no attention to your career. Why you're
Speaker 2: a congressman. They're scared about what will happen if they lose,
Speaker 2: and they're setting up that three hundred four hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars year lobbying job. Literally, and there's about a third
Speaker 2: of people that roll off of Congress that go into
Speaker 2: jobs like this. And this is the other thing. So
Speaker 2: you don't want to vote wrong because you want that
Speaker 2: lobbying firm to hire you. At there of other things too.
Speaker 1: What's going to happen on the other side, Jim Fast
Speaker 1: stay right there. We got to work in a quick
Speaker 1: break and we will continue on with Jim Faff on
Speaker 1: the other side of this. On fifty five KRC the

Speaker 3: Chuck Ingram Hunt fifty five KRC The talk station fifty
Speaker 3: five KRC eight twenty. On this Thursday morning, Dan Carroll
Speaker 3: in for Brian Thomas. We continue our conversation with Jim
Speaker 3: baff of the Conservative Caucus, and Jim a couple of
Speaker 3: polls that I'm looking at here. One is an Erasmussen
Speaker 3: poll shows voters overwhelmingly support the idea of illegal aliens
Speaker 3: not voting in US elections. And then I look at
Speaker 3: this other poll that shows Trump's approval rating at fifty
Speaker 3: four percent, now the highest since he's been in office,
Speaker 3: since he was sworn in back in January. And as
Speaker 3: I see it, I see a direct correlation between these
Speaker 3: two things. That Trump ran on an agenda, he is
Speaker 3: doing everything he can to enact that agenda, and the
Speaker 3: American people so far at this point, approve of just
Speaker 3: about everything that's been going on.
Speaker 2: Listen, there is no disconnection between the American people and
Speaker 2: Donald Trump that had built up so politically emotionally in
Speaker 2: the mindset of the American people. Donald Trump really still
Speaker 2: resonates with people. And by the way, it's anything politics is,
Speaker 2: you know, can change overnight, things can go bad at
Speaker 2: any time. But when politicians who get elected by us
Speaker 2: do what we ask them to do, they respond positively.
Speaker 2: And fortunately for Republicans in Congress so far, they see
Speaker 2: Donald Trump performing because if they were paying close attention
Speaker 2: to what Republicans were doing in Congress, they might have
Speaker 2: a different opinion. And we've had that many times, like
Speaker 2: we got that with other Republican presidents. George W. Bush
Speaker 2: in my mind, really, you know, he was able to
Speaker 2: get reelected great fine, but by the end of his
Speaker 2: term people were so disgusted over the war, over the
Speaker 2: way that even the economy was running. They rejected him
Speaker 2: in two thousand and six because of this. By giving
Speaker 2: Democrats Congress. If Republicans are in Congress are not careful
Speaker 2: and they've not been absolutely horrible. I want to give
Speaker 2: him credit for that. They got the nominee through and
Speaker 2: they're still pushing some of those through that linger the
Speaker 2: House has actually been better in the Senate in a way.
Speaker 2: But if they don't really press this agenda and podify
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump is doing, they may have a tough
Speaker 2: run next year. Now that seems hard to believe because
Speaker 2: the other polls are that Democrats are at twenty one
Speaker 2: percent approval rating, you know, but Republicans are only a
Speaker 2: little bit above that at thirty nine percent. So this
Speaker 2: is a precarious political type rope that these politicians walk,
Speaker 2: and they need to do what the Americans want them
Speaker 2: to do, what Americans want them to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when to my way of thinking, it's pretty
Speaker 1: easy to look at the example that Trump is setting
Speaker 1: that whatever the issue is, you don't run from it,
Speaker 1: you don't hide from it. He puts out his people,
Speaker 1: I mean every weekend. I see jd Vance, I see
Speaker 1: Scott Descent, I see Lutnik, I see Pam BONDI I
Speaker 1: see Christy Nome of Homeland Security. I see them on
Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows, and it doesn't matter ABC, NBC, CBS,
Speaker 1: They're on all the Sunday shows, CNN, all the rest
Speaker 1: of it. Every time that you turn around, you've got
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio who is schooling, absolutely schooling the media on
Speaker 1: different issues. And so don't run from it, don't hide
Speaker 1: from you know, something that the media doesn't like and
Speaker 1: they want to throw it back in your face. Own it,
Speaker 1: double down on it. Explain to the American people what
Speaker 1: your this is and why you're doing what you are doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it is so hard for you know,
Speaker 1: when we talk about those in Congress to look at
Speaker 1: the example that Trump is setting, and all you have
Speaker 1: to do is follow that example, and I think the
Speaker 1: results will speak for themselves.
Speaker 2: Well, they absolutely will. And this speaks to the leadership
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. Though ultimately, because none of the you
Speaker 2: know who at president chooses in their cabinet, even for
Speaker 2: their vice president. Although I'm a big fan of Jada Vance,
Speaker 2: those people aren't really the ones that directly got elected.
Speaker 2: I mean, Jade Vance maybe slightly more. But Donald Trump
Speaker 2: has been through the gauntlet, and he's been fearless about
Speaker 2: facing that gauntlet. And it's proof. I mean, it took
Speaker 2: no little time for it to be overwhelming in an
Speaker 2: electoral sense. Actually, I think it was overwhelming in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: but we will readjudicate that. But the American people appreciate
Speaker 2: leadership when it's done in a way that is not
Speaker 2: corrupt and tried to twist them. The American people pick
Speaker 2: up when politicians are trying to put their arms behind
Speaker 2: their back and make them say uncle. Donald Trump doesn't
Speaker 2: do that to the American people. He respects the American people,
Speaker 2: and he did that by picking great people this time.
Speaker 2: He learned everything that he needed to learn in the
Speaker 2: first his first administration, and he applied that and more
Speaker 2: in this one. That's why you're seeing that now. Republicans
Speaker 2: need to learn from the leadership aspect of Donald Trump
Speaker 2: and the fearlessness and courage aspect of Donald Trump, because
Speaker 2: the American people will run with you if you'll run
Speaker 2: with them. And even though you had the entire bureaucracy
Speaker 2: in three letter agencies and lawfair coming against him, he
Speaker 2: was still running with the American people. They rewarded him
Speaker 2: at the polls, and they'll reward any politician at the
Speaker 2: polls that will do what they're wanting and understand it. Well.
Speaker 1: Well, Jim, as usual, our time flies right by before
Speaker 1: I let you go. Though, you have an event coming
Speaker 1: up on April twenty that features Rod Magloyovitch of all people,
Speaker 1: and tell us about that event and if people want
Speaker 1: to find out about it, what do they do about that?
Speaker 2: Well, it's up in Chicago at the Drake Oakbrook on
Speaker 2: April twenty third. As you say, Rob Balgoyevitch, who's just
Speaker 2: a passionate supporter of Donald Trump and a friend of mine.
Speaker 2: We just have him speaking in Chicago right his towns.
Speaker 2: That's right. But we've also got George Papadopolis will be
Speaker 2: there as well too, who's also a good friend. And
Speaker 2: then some folks locally have been fighting against this trans
Speaker 2: bathroom and locker room issue that have just made amazing progress.
Speaker 2: And so we're gonna we're celebrating freedom. The people can
Speaker 2: go to Theconservativecaucus dot org if they have some interest
Speaker 2: in that or our organization, and of course if they
Speaker 2: just want to be effective in their community on boots
Speaker 2: on the ground action just to overturn this what stupid
Speaker 2: politicians do, they can go to the Conservative Call org
Speaker 2: and just sign up at the top right there, get involved,
Speaker 2: and we've got lots of training and so forth available
Speaker 2: to people if they want to figure out how to
Speaker 2: be effective where they.
Speaker 1: Are at all, right, Jimfaff, so great talking to you
Speaker 1: and always great having you, and I always appreciate the time,
Speaker 1: my friend, and take care of yourself and hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: get to do it again before too long.
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan, you're a good friend. Appreciate it all. Right.
