Couldn't get to him in time. 12 00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:35,399 Tony's gonna stay through the break, so I want to 13 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,039 get to Tony before I keep going. Tony, welcome the show. 14 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:40,439 How the heck are you? And my note says you 15 00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:42,679 were a former Democrat? What's going on? Man? 16 00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:48,719 Speaker 3: Kay? Buddy up? I go, you know with the Latino community, man, 17 00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,159 and they lie to us, They said the Democrat love 18 00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:55,240 Latinos and black right. I can go back home in Jersey. 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,679 My people are still leaving the same way they will 20 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,560 leave three years ago. So you know it's not being 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,799 my butt line. Here's the other thing too, bro. You 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,239 know they tell you smoke you ever, do you ever 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,920 cook a grill and the smoke's no so good and 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,200 then the smoke disappear. That's what they sell to people, man, 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,359 And you know, and it's kind of weird because if 26 00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,120 you do anything wrong driving those seat pail, you commit 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,680 a clime, you go to jail. These people declined the 28 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,760 shouldn't in jail for twenty years. They get at those 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,680 slap in the hands. They're so good. The hypocrisis brand. 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,319 And then they complain about, you know, Republican checking everybody else. 31 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:37,000 What do they do to President Trunk? For many years 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560 he was not alone. You know, he couldn't do anything. 33 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:43,120 His knees. We need to check why his knees. So 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,719 you know, that's why I was telling you guys, the 35 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:50,400 reason people change is because we're not We're not idiots. 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,200 We got common sence. It's a male and a female. 37 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,400 A main thing is a woman. That's your business. But 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,079 don't come and get in the bottle and not do 39 00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:01,400 that because it's only it's going to be problems. So 40 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840 you know the only thing they have is LGBTQ and 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,919 everything else. Why because they can't talk about economy, They 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,759 can't talk about the border, because what happened they're gonna lose. 43 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:15,199 So yeah, I'm not the only one. It's a lot 44 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,639 of Latino Democrat who they don't drink. They cool it anymore. 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: Bro. 46 00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: So I'm glad we got a new president. And at 47 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:23,960 the end of the day, man, it's going to be 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,879 a beautiful thing coming forward. I just want to share 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,280 that with you. 50 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:27,599 Speaker 4: Man. 51 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: I love this, Tony US number one. 52 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: Baby, Tony, You're like the American dream and I appreciate 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,879 you sharing your thoughts on this. So I want to 54 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,080 clarify for our listeners it just heard you. I think 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,080 you there's a lot more depth to what you said 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,800 than I think you even realize. I really appreciate that 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840 because it's very heartfelt. You're very passionate. But I want 58 00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,800 to clarify you were a Democrat, correct, correct? 59 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I'm gonna tell you honestly, my family they 60 00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:01,599 call me a racist because us I'm going the other way. 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,159 I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, you know, 62 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,919 I'll grow up with the Bible believing in God. I mean, 63 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:09,680 how you can be. I believe it, and I'm not 64 00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,199 being religious. You can do whatever you want. But you 65 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,639 you believe in abortion, you believe in and and all 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,039 the other things that doesn't make sense to us. So 67 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,680 when you come from people like that and you know 68 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,599 the facts are real, they're back up. They don't talk 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,639 to you. Even your family say, you know what, we 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,159 don't want to talk to you no more. Listen. At 71 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,719 the end of the day, you take care of America. 72 00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:33,520 We in the United States. I'm not in Argentina. I'm 73 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,080 not in Brazil. I'm in the United State. I learned 74 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,120 the language, I become educated, and I love this country. 75 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:41,319 I go five for this country if I have to, Man, 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,479 that's how much I love this country. You know, my 77 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:47,319 soccer team, my food, I love it. That's my culture. 78 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,120 But my country's US, so not in my love my brother, 79 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:51,159 keep keep it up. 80 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, Tony. Appreciate the call. And I'm not laughing 81 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,560 at Tony. I am laughing because Tony just kind of 82 00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:00,599 hit that one out of the park. I did not 83 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560 prompt Tony to call. Tony called in on his own. 84 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:06,840 It's it fascinating to hear this. And because I've heard 85 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:10,879 that story, a story just like Tony's time and time again, 86 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,039 because he obviously it meant a lot for him to 87 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,319 get here. It meant a lot for him to learn 88 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,399 the language, become a citizen, do all those things. And 89 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,360 I loved what he said at the end that was 90 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,639 even more profound when he said, look, I like my food, 91 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,560 I like my soccer, but that's my culture. That's not 92 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,759 my country. US number one is my country. And that's 93 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,600 the kind of attitude where Democrats have lost their way, 94 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:40,120 and rather than embrace that, they why won't democrats embrace 95 00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,920 love of the country. It was bizarre last year during 96 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,720 their convention, everyone kind of noticed they didn't have any 97 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,120 American flags there and then the next light are everywhere 98 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,600 well made? Your instinct was to not have them, and 99 00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:55,920 then someone noticed and said, well, that's not going to sell. Well, 100 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,279 we have to put them out there. Because they're not 101 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,519 that proud of the country. They see the country as racist, bigoted, homophobic, 102 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,439 They see the country as unfriendly to others. They see 103 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:10,360 the country as not caring about anybody else. And if 104 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:13,240 you have that mindset, and I've had friends that I 105 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,879 was shocked over the past six eight years because one 106 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,480 they see themselves as overly intellectual, that they're smarter than you, 107 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,879 that oh wow, you're just ignorant, You're you believe in 108 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,480 that Constitution, you're just ignorant. That was two hundred and 109 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,160 fifty years ago. Or that if you like Trump, you're 110 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,759 ignorant because oh Trump's frolla a high parplet. He lies 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,879 and Trump can tell some let me, but on the issues, 112 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,879 if you look at the actions, and I've got I've 113 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,279 got a couple of things. I will discuss about this later. 114 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,079 Trump and Greenland, Trump and Ukraine, Trump and Gaza, Trump 115 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,040 and NATO, all of these. And if you've ever studied him, 116 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,079 you ever read the Art of the Deal, you'll know 117 00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:57,319 why he does the things he does. Rather than you 118 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:02,160 just think he's crazy. There's actually a purpose behind this 119 00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,240 technique that he uses. But you guys would rather just 120 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,480 hate him than embrace a love of country. You would 121 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600 think your love of country would outweigh your hatred of 122 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:16,480 Donald Trump, but it doesn't. And that's where you don't 123 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:19,560 realize how many people you turn off. And here's the 124 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,399 other thing for you, a little bit of advice for 125 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,879 you Democrats that are in social circles. You don't realize 126 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,680 that there are people you insult every day in mixed 127 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,360 company because they haven't said anything to you. You think 128 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:33,120 those people agree with you in a lot of your 129 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,839 mixed circles, but they don't. So when you've been arrogant 130 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,759 the past ten fifteen years, a lot of people like 131 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:43,199 me will be polite to you and see other people 132 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,240 and make eye contact with other people that roll their 133 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,040 eyes the minute you say something pro Pelosi or Adam 134 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,240 Schiff or something like that. Your issues are not the 135 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,120 issues that are common to your fellow Americans. They're not anymore. 136 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,040 The Ukraine Russia situation is a good one, and I'll 137 00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:04,879 say why because many on the left believe that you 138 00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:10,680 cannot simultaneously think that there are bad attributes to both actors. 139 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,199 In other words, you either are one support Ukraine no 140 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:22,199 matter what, or Russia is bad I mean good that 141 00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:25,160 you can't be both. Russia is an invader that committed 142 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,439 horrible atrocities and shouldn't have done what they did, and 143 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,439 that Ukraine is an oligarchy that never needs to be 144 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:33,480 in NATO because it does some things as well. All 145 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,600 in all, Ukraine the aggrieved party here. But what's the 146 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,279 endgame now? I do want to get to Earnest Ernest. 147 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,560 Let's just go ahead try Ernest, Welcome to the call, 148 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:46,120 Welcome to the show. If I need to holdiz. 149 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call, and just some suggestions, 150 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,519 random suggestions. I'm not looking for republic in vengeance, but 151 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,920 I think to satisfy the curiosity of millions of American 152 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:05,120 including individuals that didn't vote for Donald Trump because not 153 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,079 they don't think he's competent, but they just don't like 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,279 his style. There's a number of issues that are probably 155 00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:15,600 concerned about. One, the validity of the prospective pardon should 156 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,160 be contested up to the Supreme Court. Secondly, my opinion, 157 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,399 how much involvement did the White House actually have and 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,399 pressure too brought about with these lawfare prosecutors. We already 159 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,960 know that they put pressure on the media groups to 160 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,080 basically cancel thought they felt was unfavorable to them. And 161 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,279 then the issue of the transcript that Robert Hurr did 162 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,639 that everyone did. Most scholars say, that's really not a privilege, 163 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,320 a presidential privilege item. And recently we've just had this 164 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,840 drop on the auto pen signing, which further brings up 165 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,919 one's curiosity as to who is actually running things. But 166 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,840 those are the things, not out of vengeance, but certainly 167 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:11,399 to get to the bottom of really what this administration did. 168 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:16,240 I think would be high on the list for investigation. 169 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,559 That's what I wanted to say. 170 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 171 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,039 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 172 00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:27,320 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 173 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,679 Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, 174 00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,000 maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get 175 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,919 family and friends together for a big old reunion. Cabins 176 00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,679 of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you 177 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,279 can reconnect with your loved ones and the things that 178 00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:46,159 truly matter. Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand acres 179 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:49,519 of the Pisga National Forest, their cabins offer a serene 180 00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:52,320 escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

But 195 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,320 people who do it, you're sharing it. It's a it's 196 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,519 a conversation, it's real time, it's timely, it's topical. It's 197 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,399 the beauty of talk radio. And artist had talked about 198 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,120 that he doesn't want to see endless prosecutions, but he 199 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:02,519 draws a line between the relentless prosecutor oriel partisan prosecutorial 200 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,960 aptitude of the Democrats for the past ten years or 201 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,559 eight and a half and getting to the truth. And 202 00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:11,519 I think that's a distinction. With the difference I think 203 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,320 getting to the truth of why did Adam Schiff say 204 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,279 he had proof of something? He had no proof to you? 205 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,559 You want those answers, you know, you want to get 206 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,159 to the bottoms. Did they really know who had the 207 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480 cocaine in the White House? Did they really know right 208 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,559 there close to the levers of power? Did how much 209 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,720 was our president at the time in Joe Biden out 210 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,879 of it completely? And I'll get to that story in 211 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:33,559 a second. Been wanting to get to it for a while. 212 00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:37,559 So getting to the truth. You know a lot of 213 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,919 rumors about Nancy Posi and investment stuff. I mean, Paul 214 00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,120 Pelosi's there. They made a killing while she's been in office. 215 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,639 Democrats have enriched themselves. Aoc Alejandri Casio called a tz 216 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:49,879 has an illegal person that was running her office or 217 00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:52,440 one of her office. And so there's a lot of 218 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:55,240 smoke out there. Is there fire? That doesn't mean go 219 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,799 prosecute them? And I see that, Oh we need to 220 00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,240 put them in all in jail. And I'm not that 221 00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,399 I'm taking people's freedoms away. Is not my cup of tea. 222 00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,519 I don't think it's Donald Trump's cup of tee. He's 223 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:08,080 a verse to war, he's averse to putting people in jail. 224 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,679 He's well aware of what was done to him. I 225 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,039 thought it was funny the other day I saw I'm 226 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,320 loading up documents to take back to mar A Lago. 227 00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:16,840 The same documents the FBI rated and took from mar 228 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,559 A Lago have gone back tomorrow Alago. So much for 229 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:23,559 that case, So Ernest appreciate the call on that and 230 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,080 getting to this Biden's situation and worth knowing it was posted. 231 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,399 It was actually yesterday this came out, or at least 232 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,679 the more full knowledge of it. The majority of official 233 00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:38,840 documents signed by President Joe Biden allegedly used the same 234 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,399 auto open digital signature, reinvigorating concerns over the former president's 235 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,200 mental acuity and if he actually ordered the signature of 236 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:53,200 relevant legal documents. According to a group affiliate with the 237 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,879 Heritage Foundation, whoever controlled the auto auto pen controlled not 238 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,639 auto open, it's autopin controlled the presidency. The Oversight Project, 239 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,480 which is an initiative within the Conservative Heritage Foundation, we 240 00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,080 gathered every document we could with Biden's signature over the 241 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,679 course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature, 242 00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,159 except for the announcement that the former president was dropping 243 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:20,200 out of the race last year. Autopen signatures are ones 244 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,879 that are automatically produced by a machine, as opposed to 245 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:28,360 an authentic handwritten signature. The Oversight Project posted three examples 246 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,559 showing Biden's signature with two executive orders in the president's 247 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,799 announcement that he was bowing out. So again, this is 248 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:42,480 to me, I love this country. If you had documents 249 00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:46,320 that were signed by someone other than the president that 250 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:53,639 was using the full power of the presidency, it invalidates 251 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:58,360 those documents. If Biden signed into law something that he 252 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,919 actually never signed, it was never officially signed. There are 253 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,840 so many This to me is a much larger story 254 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,399 that's getting coverage, and I think will has the potential 255 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,039 to grow with momentum. Fox News Digital at Random examined 256 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,200 more than twenty Biden era executive orders documented on the 257 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,759 Federal Register's Office between twenty one and twenty four and 258 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:25,919 found each had the same exact signature. Fox News Digital 259 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:29,679 reached out to biden office. Biden's office for comment has 260 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600 not received a reply. Fox News Digital also examined the 261 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,080 signature as of President Trump's executive orders, which are often 262 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,759 signed in public, so there's no question he throws the 263 00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:44,200 pen into the press pool or something. So if a president, 264 00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:48,799 if an acting president does not sign executive orders, they 265 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,679 have not the force of law. That to me is 266 00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:01,120 extremely disconcerting, unbelievably disconcerting. But again that's what many of 267 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000 us out here were very concerned about when you would 268 00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:07,039 see the deer in headlights of Biden responding to a 269 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,000 question if he occasionally did that, The fact that they 270 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,639 had to have a studio, a fake White House studio. 271 00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,720 And again I'm not saying it's a fake White House 272 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,480 studio that's been fully disclosed. This isn't some right wing 273 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:20,919 conspiracy theory. It's there. President Trump has never used it. 274 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:25,360 It's there. It was built for Biden to control the 275 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,279 way in which information came out of what we now 276 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,440 know was a very damaged White House, extremely damaged, really 277 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,320 messed up. The fact that Democrats don't seem to care 278 00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:39,559 tells you a lot about them. If you care about 279 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:44,159 the country, which there can increasingly not showing any aptitude 280 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,679 or willingness to do, they're okay with that. I can 281 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,960 guarantee you if Trump, if Trump was in a COMBA 282 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,159 somewhere an auto pen was signing all of these executive orders, 283 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,279 the Democrats would lose their minds. It would lose their 284 00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:01,840 ever loving minds. That's where consistent it would bother me. 285 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:05,000 I would say it if Trump was using autopendicyle on 286 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,360 this stuff, I'd be extremely concerned, and so should you. 287 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,399 But when democratics different when they do it, as p says, 288 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:11,399 it's different when they do it. 289 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,279 Speaker 1: All right, If you're listening to this show, you know 290 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 291 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,440 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 292 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,519 me say get your news from multiple sources.

It's always a pleasure in honor to 312 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,960 be part of this wonderful family at WT and it 313 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000 really is. The folks here they are. They are loyal, 314 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,200 they are professional, they're courteous, they are so many things, 315 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,599 and it is always an honor pleasure to be part 316 00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,160 of what they do here. So when we went to 317 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,119 the break, we were talking about the fact that an 318 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,200 arm of the Heritage Foundation and then confirmed by Fox News. 319 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,640 Of course you're gonna say love all right, landing places 320 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359 will Heritage having been to their headquarters by if you've 321 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,000 never been to the Heritage headquarters in DC, it's within 322 00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:55,119 side of the Capitol building. They've been around for decades. 323 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,880 They were instrumental and working with Reagan, so they've been 324 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,000 around for a very long time. They're not this whole 325 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000 horrific right wing you know, crazy people. They're they're very 326 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,400 very salient folks there. Their perspective is very salient. It's 327 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:11,200 I remember when people said, oh, Agenda twenty five, twenty 328 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,559 twenty five is going to destroy the cat country. It's 329 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:17,240 just horrible. It's really not. I mean, getting rid of 330 00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:21,000 the Department of Education is not. So let me try 331 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:24,519 to add these two things up. Getting rid of government 332 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,119 is not something that fascists do. Getting rid of government 333 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,759 power is not something dictators do. Getting rid of government 334 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,400 power and returning it to the citizens is not something 335 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,640 that even oligarchs want to do. They want to keep 336 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,519 the corrupt system. So whenever a Democrat screams fascism or 337 00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:49,960 constitutional crisis, or of Hitler or now they're going with Mussolini, 338 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,160 I guess they've worn the Hitler trolling out, so now 339 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,240 it's it's Mussolini, another fascist that they just lose credibility. 340 00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:03,200 They instantly lose credibility when they make these claims on 341 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,599 And it's so funny when Joy Reid I commented even 342 00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:10,000 on this broadcast that Joy Reid, former commentator on MSNBC, 343 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,039 that she was one of the least bright people I'd 344 00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:15,720 ever seen on TV. Just I mean, Nicole Wallace is 345 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,839 up there, but Joy was horrible, I mean her and 346 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,160 it was a very swarmy satirical and it it wasn't 347 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,119 even witty. I mean, I don't mind. Hey, look I 348 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,440 James Carvel can be hysterical. Sometimes it's very poignant. He 349 00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:33,839 can be very witty. I don't mind that. Take your shots. 350 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,559 But she wasn't witty or profound or interesting or And 351 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,720 so when she got removed, so her ratings continued to fall. 352 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:43,319 She continued the Hitler trip. And that's the reason I 353 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,920 brought up Tooy Reid. So when she gets removed, it's 354 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,240 racism or sexism. Rachel Maddow went on a tirade about 355 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,839 her working for a racist country. You know, a company 356 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,279 that they tried to because they removed Joy Reid, not 357 00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:57,839 that her ratings had fallen. At advertisers that you know, 358 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,279 there are classrooms with more teachers that have more attention 359 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,640 from students than Joy Reid would have on a given 360 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,240 night for a show that's got producers and it has 361 00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:11,559 an overhead. And the free market says, if you don't 362 00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:14,599 have viewers or listeners if WBT, if you don't have listeners, 363 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:18,720 then advertisers lose faith. And then well you see what happens. 364 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,640 But again WBT relies on listeners. It relies on entertaining you. 365 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,519 It relies on informing you, and that's what makes it 366 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,799 adds worth to the community. But she wasn't and it's 367 00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:32,680 not because of racism. It's because she just wasn't all 368 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,920 that good. We've seen this realignment with CNN at MSNBC. 369 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:39,079 They're losing interest of view. I don't know how much 370 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,079 longer the view kind of limps along other than it's comical. 371 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,599 I mean, I don't think they realize that a lot 372 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,319 of people like me are interested in the view, not 373 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,799 because of their perspective, but because they're comical. Nothing like 374 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,880 the fact that they don't realize that what they're saying 375 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:01,440 is not really it's mental. It's like these people have 376 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,720 a continued mental problem. So that brings us back to 377 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,640 where do we find ourselves nationally now? And the Democrats 378 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,000 would do well to study Trump. He's very popular. I 379 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:15,039 remarked the other day I was in a group and 380 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:17,200 I said, you know, one of the things that amazes 381 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:20,680 me about the Trump phenomenon, and it is a phenomenon, 382 00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:24,319 is that you've got a seventy eight year old that 383 00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:29,440 connects to twenty somethings, knows how to use marketing. Now 384 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,000 you would think he would be a guy that knew 385 00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:34,319 marketing in the eighties, in the eighties and nineties, But 386 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,720 to get that he understands messaging with new media. Somehow 387 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,559 he's able to take his experience and knowledge and craft 388 00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:49,279 that into something that is modern amazes me. It's hard 389 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,359 to stay current as you get older, when you're an 390 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,519 almost octogenarian, and yet somehow you're staying modern on the 391 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:59,160 cutting edge. You're finding Latinos, you're finding blacks, you're finding women, 392 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,279 you're finding college educated people that are that are that 393 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,039 are absolutely making fun of the left. And he's almost eighty. 394 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,079 That's classic. And he has lines like when he was 395 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,400 in the last year and I knew Biden was toast 396 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,039 when when when Trump said, I don't know what he 397 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,680 said right then, and I'm paraphrasing, I don't think he 398 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,720 knows what he said just then. 399 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,799 Speaker 1: You know, stories are powerful.

Historically, a bad time for 423 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,680 press for sitting income presents should be a t and 424 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,759 it could be it could still be a bad time 425 00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:48,519 for the sitting president Trump could have a bad you know, midterms, 426 00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:50,440 and the Democrats could take back over one House or 427 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,480 the other. I don't right now. If the election were 428 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,400 held today, generic Democrats, generic Republicans will be generic Democrats 429 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,640 all day long. And so they've got they got time. 430 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,200 I love it when people write the epitaph, the obituary 431 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,640 has been written for the Democrat Party. They they they're terrible, 432 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,839 They're done their toast. It's over. It's not politics that 433 00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:11,880 a year and a half is a millennium day in politics. 434 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,200 You know that if you've been studying this long enough. 435 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,240 But they are struggling for a leader, They are struggling 436 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:20,319 for a message, They are struggling for any kind of 437 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,400 gravity other than that we're not Donald Trump. 438 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: Now. 439 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: I say that because I want to go through a 440 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,039 couple of issues that and if you want to get 441 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:31,799 in on the conversation, you're you're welcome to do so. 442 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,079 It's seven oh four five seven oh eleven ten, seven 443 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:39,279 oh four five seven eleven ten. Now, if you are 444 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,119 familiar with them at all, you know Trump is very 445 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:48,359 good at at pushing a given issue to cause activity 446 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,440 to transpire to take place. And I'm going to give 447 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,799 you numerous examples of that, and the one that that's 448 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,440 most that's well, they're all newsworthy. There really are all newsworthy. 449 00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:01,440 So right now, if you were to say the Greenland situation, 450 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:03,319 Trump said, we're going to make Greenland the fifty first 451 00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:06,039 state or Canada the fifty first state. All we're going 452 00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:10,359 to invade Greenland with military. Now, the folks in Greenland 453 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,839 are in the midst of voting to get themselves away 454 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,160 from Denmark. So Greenland's all of this sudden become an issue. 455 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,000 They're they're interested in asserting their their sovereignty and so 456 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:27,519 all of a sudden, Greenland could become a very significant 457 00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:31,519 strategic partner for the US. It's it's kind of funny 458 00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:33,880 if you if you really think about that. So Trump 459 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,519 being provocative. We now have a situation where the folks 460 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:39,599 in Greenland may be voting to become a sovereign nation, 461 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,519 and it pulled themselves away from Denmark. That was a 462 00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:45,279 so in other words, you could argue, and I would, 463 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:48,319 that Trump is a catalyst for change. It's what he's 464 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,960 good at. If you were to look at the situation 465 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,880 with Gaza, you know, Trump said, oh, it's going to beautiful. 466 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,200 We're gonna build high rise. They're going to take over Gaza. 467 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,039 So it ask you can you remember a time in 468 00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:04,160 your lifetime when the Arab nations had any interest in 469 00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:07,920 building and supporting Gaza other than from a terrorist standpoint 470 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,480 where the Iranians, you know, the Hamas is a proxy 471 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:14,079 for Iran, or Hezbollah, which is a proxy for Iran, 472 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,960 or Whuti's which is a proxy for Iran. Common theme here, 473 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,960 But if you don't, you can't recall the time that 474 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,519 the Arab nations wanted to get together and rebuild Gaza. 475 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,319 So Trump says, hey, I'm going to rebuild. I want 476 00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:27,640 to take it over. All of a sudden, Arab nations 477 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,720 are uniting, They're wanting to read, their wanting to put 478 00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:31,359 billions of dollars in the grand It's going to take 479 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,640 decades to rebuild Gaza. A catalyst for change. Look at 480 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,400 the NATO situation, Trump and for first term, Trump said, 481 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,960 you're going to start paying for your fair share to 482 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,039 defend yourselves. We're tired of being used. And everybody in 483 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,720 foreign policy, including Trump critic John Bolton, who have interviewed 484 00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:54,839 numerous times, will tell you that NATO was not paying 485 00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:59,200 their share of defending Europe, which allowed them to spend 486 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,400 lots of money being socialist regimes, which allowed them to build, 487 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:08,000 you know, build their medicine and socialize their medicines, socialize 488 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,359 their transit systems socialized, get rid of nuclear power plants 489 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,039 and and gas power, and become green or at least 490 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,160 attempt to be, you know, Paris accord worthy. Now that 491 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,000 they're going to have to defend themselves, they're going to 492 00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:21,920 have to make a choice. They're going to have to 493 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,279 pull money out of those things and defend or not exist. 494 00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:30,160 They've got massive immigration problems that they have. It's almost 495 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,119 worse than the US. You could argue that England will 496 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,839 not be England in the next twenty years unless they change. 497 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,759 They've got hundreds of thousands of illegals in their country. 498 00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:41,799 And it's more, it's even more diametrically posed. It's Muslim 499 00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:49,200 Islamic infiltration of Europe becoming more Islamic every day. But 500 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:51,839 Trump starts talking about NATO and what they should do, 501 00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:54,519 and all of a sudden, you've got NATO countries talking 502 00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:58,000 about defending themselves. A catalyst for change. If you were 503 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,680 to look at the situation in Ukraine, I know that's 504 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,240 the most contentious one, most disturbing to a lot of folks. 505 00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:06,720 How dare we not support the Ukrainians. I don't think 506 00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:09,359 it's about supporting Krameant. I think it's about stopping the 507 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,960 endless slaughter of people, not admitting that Russia didn't do 508 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:17,839 something wrong. I mean this all started. People forget the 509 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,519 entire Ukrainian situation started in the Crimea twenty fourteen. This 510 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:25,799 is not it happened under Obama where the Russians were 511 00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:28,079 in Bolden to say, well, they didn't really do anything. 512 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,839 We took over Crimea. What about the Donbass region? And 513 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,960 if you look at the map where it stands today, 514 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,440 if you were to look at the eastern side of Ukraine, 515 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:38,079 you would see a lot of that, well not a lot, 516 00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:41,359 but a significant chunk of Ukrainian territories under Russian control. 517 00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:47,359 There's the border of Russian control. Now there's no ceasefire. 518 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,960 There is no peace that's going to restore those borders, 519 00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:54,519 not without an all out war that involves NATO US. 520 00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:57,480 I had someone on Twitter respond to Twitter formerly known 521 00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:00,559 as x or x formally known as Twitter respond saying, 522 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:02,920 you know, Putin's not going to take US seriously until 523 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,799 we are he understands that we are committing every single 524 00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:09,640 American life to the defense of Ukraine, which I didn't 525 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,279 even respond to. I couldn't believe the individual who I 526 00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:15,279 happen to know said that that we need to be 527 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:19,079 willing to sacrifice every American life for that border. I'm 528 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:21,119 sure the Ranians and the Chinese are like, sure, go 529 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:24,839 right ahead, but there has to be an end to it. 530 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,000 So Trump has been provocative. Now you've got us, we 531 00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,599 are sharing intel with Ukrainians. The Ukrainians are coming back 532 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,960 to sign the rare earth mineral deal. They want this, 533 00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:37,079 they have to. This can't go on. There has to 534 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:39,720 be an end in sight and it's not just an 535 00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,559 endless ATM machine. Now, one would argue, and I think 536 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,640 a decent point that brit Hum had shared was that, hey, 537 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,079 the Russians are depleting their their military supply, so we're 538 00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:55,279 funding for funding this with our stuff. By the way, 539 00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:59,599 we're depleting stuff, they're depleting stuff, So I don't know 540 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,880 that that's strengthens our hand. But if the Russians are 541 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,519 depleted after all of this, maybe a good outcome. But 542 00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:09,240 the meanwhile, people are being slaughtered. Not a good outcome. 543 00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:12,119 So again Trump being provocative, trying to get this. So 544 00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:15,160 now the Europeans, for the first time, because of the 545 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,160 sitting president of the US being asserting American sovereignty. I'm 546 00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:23,880 asserting American independents, the Europeans are going to have to 547 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,960 start defending their eastern flank. They're going to if they 548 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,400 want that, They're going to have to step up and 549 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000 defend it. They've got to stop just relying, well, the 550 00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:33,519 US will take care of it. We can continue to 551 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:36,440 spend money on these projects, but the US will rely 552 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,400 on them. Again, Trump being a catalyst for change. So 553 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680 as I look at these kind of things, I think 554 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:48,799 that that kind of presidency, you now know every European leader, 555 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,839 every world leader, knows that this president, this administration with 556 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,200 Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth and the rest of them 557 00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:00,079 are an American First regime that's looking out for the 558 00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:02,880 American taxpayers first. Now that sounds like propaganda, doesn't it. 559 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,240 But there's nothing about what I said that's not true. 560 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:09,160 You cannot like it, you can disagree with it, but 561 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:12,359 that's what an America First agenda looks like. Now to 562 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,720 that point, with Mexico and Canada on the tariffs. Again, 563 00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:19,000 you're asserting, you're asserting that it's a problem to have 564 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,319 fitanel pouring into the country and the Canadians and Mexicans 565 00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:23,799 can do more. They can and they will. 566 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 567 00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:28,279 so much for listening.
