Speaker 2: traveling about doing his thing, and man, what an honor.

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: We got the official intro from Todd Sarns himself for

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: and it's so great to be able to sit in

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: for the seat today. Welcome into it the todd S

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Iarns Radio Program, and we are calling this Dylan. You're

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: more than welcome to chime in whenever you want to.

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: On this one. We are deeming the program today the

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: State of the Union Pregame Show twenty twenty six. I'm

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: telling you this is going to be a big one.

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: I'm excited. We have a lot to line up today,

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: plenty of policy to talk about, but obviously the breakdown

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: of the State of the Union. What could it look

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: like this year because it is not only the what

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: fourth fifth Donald Trump to a State of the Union

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: last year, I guess he did. I mean, he just

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: got sworn into office, so maybe not. So let's just

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: say that this is at least his fifth one after

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: his first administration. But more than that, it is the

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the nation this year,

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: and I think that that deserves the most patriotic State

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: of the Union address that we have ever heard, and

42
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for it, so welcome into it, and

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Nine oh one two

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six nine oh one two

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six is Todd so graciously

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: mentioned moving the Liberty University studios out here to Wichitak, Kansas.

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: On the Big Talker KQAM, my flagship station and a

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: great affiliate of these Todd Starnes Radio program, What the

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: heck can we expect for the address tonight? I find

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: it probably the most ironic and probably the best example

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: of where we're at in American politics today when we

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: had the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the nation.

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: According to Caroline Levitt this morning, she said that we're

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: expecting to shed a few tears with the State of

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: the Union tonight and that Democrats are now protesting this,

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: with many not even showing up. The last count that

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: I've heard a total of thirty in general, which is

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: absolutely insane. But Caroline Levitt said she's excited for what

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: we're going to hear tonight.

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: He is going to share the stories of great American

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: heroes who exemplify bravery and the spirit of seventeen seventy six.

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 4: And the President is of course going to tout his

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: administration's record setting accomplishments over the past year while laying

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: out an ambitious agenda to continue making the American dream

65
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: more attainable and affordable for working class people across the country.

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 4: It's going to be a great speech. There will be

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: some tear jerking moments as there was last year, in

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: addition to some moments of levity, and so we hope

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: everybody will tune in.

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: That's really cool. I'm excited for this one man. It

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: is going to be, as Donald Trump would say, bigly

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: and super exciting because I mean, look, not only do

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: we have the patriotic mindset, which look, that is a

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: perfect way to go into a midterm season. Talk about patriotism,

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: talk about the nation, talk about the history of the nation,

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: and talk about where we're moving forward. And again, the

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: major cultural divide in society doesn't allow the other side

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: of the aisle to accept it, to enjoy that, to

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: relish in patriotism and love for country, which I find

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: really kind of strange. So I ask you the question

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: today at nine oh one two six zero five nine

82
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: two six on the Todd Starnge radio program. What are

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: the trigger words? And if you are playing a game

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: tonight for the State of the Union address, maybe a

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: drinking game of an adult beverage or maybe your favorite

86
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: sweet tea, which I know that's Dylan. Do you think

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: that's what Todd drinking tonight for the Same of the

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Union sweet tea. Yes, that's the beverage of choice. That's

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: the beverage of choice. So he's going to take a

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: shot of sweet tea every time that they say a

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: particular word. So what are the big words that you

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: can expect Donald Trump to say tonight. I'm guessing affordability. Maybe,

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: I mean Democrats kind of drop that one after Donald

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Trump addressed the affordability issue back in December. So that's

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: kind of funny. Golden Age of America, fake news, Supreme Court, terrorists.

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot that he's going to discuss tonight. But

97
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: what are those trigger wors where if you are playing

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: that game, that drinking game of sweet tea or other

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: things than what could be potentially included in that one.

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: First and foremost, we have the stage that's being set

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: for a midterm election that I think is going to

102
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: be very tough, and I'll just be very frank and honest,

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: very tough for Republicans. Now, the fundraising for the RNC

104
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: compared to the DNC is night and days, So maybe

105
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: it won't be as bad as what I'm thinking. I'm

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: an eternal optimist. I am optimistic that we could do

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: very well this year. But this is what sets that

108
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: stage on the action of Republicans and the action of Congress.

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: And in fact, I really hope the State of the

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Union tonight really has President Donald Trump calling out Republicans

111
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: in Congress to actually, well do something we gave And

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: you got to go back a little bit. Remember the

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: first Trump administration when Republicans said, we have to have

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: the House so we can stop Obama. Okay, cool. We

115
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: gave him the House, and they're like, well, we got

116
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: to have the Senate too. We have to have both

117
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: chambers of Congress so we can stop Obama. Cool. We

118
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: gave them the House, we gave them the Senate. Then

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: the presidential race came up, and we're like, well, we

120
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: have to have the presidency and Congress to where we

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: can actually get things done. And we gave it to

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: him all the way back when twenty fifteen we gave

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: the presidency and the House and the Senate. And what happened.

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: We had Republicans that were fighting against the Trump administration.

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: We had John McCain my fringe, my fringe, a straight

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: talk expresh. Remember that when he was in there, that

127
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: wanted to spite Donald Trump beyond all belief, and even

128
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: with his brain cancer, rest his soul, he flew all

129
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: the way to Washington, d c rowed down the chamber

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: floor there and ended up voting against repealing of Obamacare.

131
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: That was the mindset of the Republican Party. And it

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 2: took us a long time to purge the Republican Party

133
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: of that type of insanity, wanting to spite Donald Trump,

134
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: even amongst our own party. And what was the result

135
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: of that as a conservative, as a Republican voter, what

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: was the result of that type of behavior. We lost

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: it all by the midterm election. Under the first Trump administration,

138
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: we lost the majorities in Congress, and it was a

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: stat We saw two impeachments against President Donald Trump. We

140
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: saw the quote unquote investigations against Donald Trump. We saw

141
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: the Democrats take hold and do everything they can to stagnate,

142
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: stop and reverse the entire Trump agenda because we lost trust.

143
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: Republicans didn't do what they said they were going to do.

144
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: Now we're almost in the same boat. Show a fans,

145
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: how many people know how many bills that Congress has

146
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: actually codified under the Trump administration. It's not very many.

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we did pass the one big, beautiful bill

148
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: that was pretty exciting. But outside of that, what else

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: have we done? We are still in a semi quasi

150
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 2: government shutdown right now, which is pretty unfortunate with funding

151
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: for the Department of Homeland Security, which we'll talk about

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: a little bit later on the program. But what else

153
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: have we done? We can't kind of find the Trump agenda.

154
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: We're sitting on the Save Act right now. Let's pass

155
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: the House twice now, sitting in the Senate, and they're like, well,

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: we just don't have the votes to do it. With

157
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: the filibuster. We got to force the filibuster, which again

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: we'll talk about in just say a little bit. So

159
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm curious on how much of the state of the

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: Union that President Trump will call on Republicans who either

161
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: end the filibuster in the Senate or force Democrats to

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: utilize the filibuster so that way we can use it

163
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: for a political tool going into midterm season. We have

164
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: the affordability issue, which I mean, to be fair, we're

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: getting better, and I think, if well the science from

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: the whole Supreme Court thing from last week with the tariffs,

167
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: that right now we're on the right trajectory. We saw

168
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: just for the month of January, we saw the lowest

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: inflation that we've seen since the last Trump administration in

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: March of twenty twenty one, the residual when Trump had

171
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: just left office, when it was still his economy. We

172
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: haven't seen inflation that low since that time. With the

173
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: Trump administration one point zero. We have wage growth that's

174
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: coming up. We have job growth that's happening right now,

175
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: all of it because of the tariff policy that's been

176
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 2: implemented from the Trump administration. Now people can say that

177
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: tariffs aren't necessarily a good thing, but they've worked. They've

178
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: transitioned the economy away from what we've done in the past.

179
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: All of the job growth that we've seen under the

180
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: Trump administration year number one has been private sector growth,

181
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: and we're getting rid of the public sector. And I

182
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: see that all as good news. So Donald Trump is

183
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: going to showcase his victories tonight, and I really hope

184
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: he does that and is able to tie that in

185
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: to a historical reference of how great this nation is,

186
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: not because of government, but in spite of government. And

187
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: I tell you what, as a bleeding heart conservative that

188
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: the enjoys watching the direction that we're going as a

189
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: with the Trump administration. If Donald Trump's able to talk

190
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: about the growth and success and the beauty of this

191
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 2: nation not because of government, but in spite of government,

192
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: that will have me rolling on the ground tearful, right, Dylan,

193
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: I mean at that the site everybody wants to see

194
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: on YouTube, Right, that's a that's a viral YouTube video

195
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: right there, and me rolling around on the ground all

196
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: tearful because of that kind of comment.

197
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to see that. Actually, that's right.

198
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: We will have to work on that one. Maybe the

199
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Life will be videotaping it tonight. But look, I mean,

200
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has a good for the golden era that

201
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: we're going into. We have a golden opportunity. The stars

202
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: have aligned and we can now present the case for

203
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: what can servitism is and what we can expect with

204
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: the state of the Union, address, the foreign policy, the economy,

205
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: the potential issue with Iran, the military industrial complex going crazy.

206
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: It's all going to be a showcase tonight while the

207
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: Democrats are out there throwing a hissy fit about it.

208
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: And we'll break that down in just a minute, because

209
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: I find that kind of interesting. But I want your

210
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: thoughts on this. What are you expecting tonight and what

211
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: are the trigger words that you're expecting that you can

212
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: play the game with today nine oh one two six

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six nine oh one two six

214
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. It is the Tot Starens

Speaker 2: pregame of the State of the Union twenty twenty six.

217
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: Plenty to break down today, let's coming up. Stay here.

218
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: Losing weights getting harder and harder as you get older,

219
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: and it's not your fault. You're eating better, you're moving more,

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: but your body isn't responding anymore. The harder you try,

221
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: the less progress you see.

222
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: And I am just like you.

223
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,760

00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: of the Union twenty twenty six. What can we expect

242
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: to going into the State of the Union tonight? It's

243
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: going to be a bigly one. President Donald Trump excited

244
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the nation and

245
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: some certain trigger words that you could be playing with

246
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: your drinking game of the night. By drinking game, I

247
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: means sweet tea. Sweet tea. That's what we're going for.

248

Speaker 2: Sweet tea shots tonight where you can enjoy what Donald

249
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: Trump may say I really for I saw a couple

250
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: comments on social media over the break affordability is obviously

251
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: was at least was past tense the trigger word for

252
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: the media. Everybody like, here's the thing, the media, the DNC,

253
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 2: they had their talking points, and it trickles down to

254
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: the candidates. It trickles down to the elected officials, and

255
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: they wanted to rail on it. Affordability. Affordability, affordability, that's

256
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: what that's got what zohan mom Donnie, that's what got

257
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: him elected in that seat for New York City. And

258
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: how well is that working out? Republican platform has been

259
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: pretty much Operation Let Them Speak? Was that Senator John

260
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: Kennedy that came up with that idea, the operation Let

261
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Them Speak? Because it works in AOC. It's been working

262
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: really well for mom Donnie. It's been working really well.

263
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: And they've coincidentally gotten rid of and away from the

264
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: idea of affordability. Why because well, first off, it's obvious

265
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: for us here on the other side of the aisle,

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: the right side of the aisle that when you want

267
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: to look at affordability, We had a Biden administration who

268
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: created a thirty percent inflation cumulative over a four year

269
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: period during his administration. Again, looking at interest rates or

270
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: inflation rates for the month of January low as that

271
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: they were since the end of the Trump admin one

272
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: point zero, and then everything started skyrocketing, and by like

273
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: really increasing, I mean we were seeing six seven, eight

274
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: nine percent inflation rates on a year to year basis

275
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: for a month, which is absolutely insane. So, yeah, we

276
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: have a lot of problems that we have to get through,

277
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: and they're not going away. I mean, the inflation's not

278
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: going back down. If we see deflation in society, everybody

279
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: says that's really bad and we're going to see some

280
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: kind of bubble burst or collapse of society or something.

281
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: So what we have to do is get wages up

282
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 2: to be able to match that and actually get the

283
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: economy back on track. So they really kind of dropped

284
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: the idea of affordability at the same time when we

285
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: have record number of investments, record number of revenue, the

286
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: trade policy bringing in red revenue, wages that are going

287
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: up right now without by the way, and I want

288
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: to clarify this in really instantly and really emphasize the

289
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: fact that wages are going up without the unions. That

290
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: is a big point that we should probably emphasize. Unions

291
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: have not done a whole lot. I mean, we need

292
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: natural growth of wages, not the artificial inflation of wages

293
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: that actually screw up the economy because they throw the

294
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: wrench in the system and say we want to work

295
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: thirty hours a week and one hundred dollars an hour

296
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: and nothing more beyond that than to heck with the business.

297
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: If they start losing money like that doesn't work, that's

298
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: not feasible, that's not realistic. That's what we hear from unions,

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: which is why I'm not a big fan of unions

300
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form. But Donald Trump's going

301
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: to talk about affordability and the golden age of America

302
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: that's around the corner because Democrats have not been able

303
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: to talk about that. And if they want to try

304
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: and talk about affordability, they probably need to look in

305
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: the mirror and look at their own numbers. I want

306
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: to go for just a moment to the fundraising numbers

307
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: as we look at a little bit further out for

308
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: the midterm elections of twenty twenty six. The Republican National

309
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: Committee has recently made an announcement on their fundraising goals

310
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: where where they're at fundraising right now where as of

311
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: the report in July of twenty twenty five ahead of

312
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: the mid term performances. So it's even more so than

313
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: right now that the Republican National Committee was reporting raising

314
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy two million dollars, and that was

315
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: as of July of last year. That number obviously has

316
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: gone up since then six months later, eight months later

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: as we go into actual beginning of that election season.

318
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: The Democrat National Committee, on the other hand, remember remember

319
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: that number one hundred and seventy plus million dollars. Going

320
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: into this one, they had roughly seventy million dollars. But

321
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: in order to get that seventy million dollars, they've had

322
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: to take on multiple different loans as a party to

323
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: go into special election from last year and then get

324
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: them set up for this year. So if you want

325
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: to talk affordability, maybe you should, I don't know, take

326
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: a Dave Ramsey class and actually take some affordability classes

327
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: on how to run your own finances because as a

328
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: Democrat party right now you're in shambles. And you can

329
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: talk about the platform, the leadership who's actually there, I mean,

330
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: you don't have it in operation. Let them speak is

331
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: very telling where thirty at least thirty Democrats are going

332
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: to be protesting the state of the Union tonight while

333
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: we talk about the greatness of this nation and they

334
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: talk about their ideas for foreign policy, which they don't

335
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: have any and they talk about the economy, which they

336
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: don't have any plans. They talk about social programs, which

337
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: I guess that's all they have is identity politic and

338
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: social issues. But that's not popular with the American people.

339
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: They can't even talk about the Save Act when seventy

340
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: eight percent of Democrats actually support that idea as well.

341
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: So no wonder why they don't want to show up

342
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: because they have nothing to offer. Their only offering they

343
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: have is they hate Donald Trump. And as we mentioned

344
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: in the last segment that if they do get the

345
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: majority in Congress, then they're going to do nothing more

346
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: than repeal Donald Trump's agenda, try to impeach all of

347
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: his different cap members, and try to push impeachment for

348
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: Donald Trump himself. The same thing is what we saw

349
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: in the after the midterms and first term of Donald

350
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: Trump back in what twenty eighteen, and that's not what

351
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: we can have. So Republicans got to get on board,

352
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean Donald Trump again, you really need to focus

353
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: on putting pressure on Republicans to get things done, whether

354
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: it's ending the filibuster in the Senate or whether it's

355
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: forcing Democrats to actually utilize the filibuster to show how

356
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: out of touch they actually are, even when right now

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: we have a partial government shutdown and no one's talking

358
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: about when it was the last time the media actually

359
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: talked about the government shutdown right now, Department of Homeland

360
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: Security TSA that's going on, and Border Security and the

361
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 2: ICE agents, all of them working pro bono right now

362
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: until they get their furloughed money back and we can

363
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 2: actually get things back on track and hikeem Jeffries, all

364
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: these guys are just like well, Republicans are refusing to cooperate, which,

365
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: to be fair, Republicans allowed the scenario to happen in

366
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: the first place by splitting Department of Homeland Security funding.

367
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

368
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: We still have to ram it through, and Democrats are

369
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 2: so out of touch that they've taken it to an

370
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: entirely different levels. So affordability foreign policy, maybe we could

371
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: see some comments about the civil war going on down

372
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: in Mexico, which I do want to cover in a bit.

373
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's policies making that possible. Can you imagine for

374
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: just a moment, the Western hemisphere with Nicholas Maduro that

375
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: we've already captured, with the pressure that we're putting on Cuba,

376
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: and with the cartels that have been deemed as international

377
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: terrorist organizations that are being forced by Donald Trump to

378
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: the Mexican government to address these issues. Boiling it all

379
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: to the surface and making our Western hemisphere just a

380
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: little bit safer our major wins for the Trump administration.

381
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: And doing it at the same time, by the way,

382
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: when all of the military industrial complex, people that like

383
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: long term conflicts overseas making all this money with private contracting,

384
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 2: none of them are actually benefiting from this at all.

385
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has been able to do it diplomatically, maybe

386
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: a few excursions here and there, but nothing severe. And

387
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty good win for the Trump administration.

388
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: So This is probably my prediction, probably one of the

389
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: biggest State of the Unions that we have seen in

390
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: a very long time. And even though it's kind of

391
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: losing its popularity on people paying attention to it because

392
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: it's so partisan, the content that could be in this

393
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: thing could be four hours long with Donald Trump speaking,

394
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: and it's going to be kind of cool to watch.

395
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: We got lots of We're to get to what's happening

396
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,520

Speaker 2: Stars Radio program at aka the pregame show for the

418
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: State of the Union Speech twenty twenty six. What can

419
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: you expect from that one from President Donald Trump tonight?

420
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: It's going to be fun with a lot of different

421
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: things to cover. Again, he could be covering four hours

422
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: of this. Who knows Donald Trump very well, may do that.

423
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: He has gone on rambles. Well, what's the longest He

424
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: broke the record for the longest State of the Union address?

425
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: I believe, didn't Dylan. I mean that was a couple

426
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: of years ago, and man, he went on like two

427
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: hours and fifteen minutes or something. It was crazy with

428
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: how he just kept going and going. I think that

429
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: was the one when Nancy Pelosi just felt like wrapping

430
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: up the speech afterwards just because she wanted to do

431
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: that in spite as well. So here's the question I

432
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: have for you, is the protest from the Democrats. Would

433
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: you rather We're gonna play a little game of would

434
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: you rather would you rather have Democrats be there like

435
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: last time where they were holding the signs like children

436
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna raise a sign to protest to you

437
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: and they did their silent protests that way, or would

438
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: you rather have them just not be there in the

439
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: first place. Now, it's very telling culturally to show that

440
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: where we're at in the nation, that we can't even

441
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: sit there and listen to someone, even if we disagree

442
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: with their policy, even if we don't like them as

443
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: a human being, that we still sit there and listen.

444
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: They are the president of the United States, and I

445
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: think we've kind of belittled in water down that title

446
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 2: for a really long time, going all the way back

447
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: to the Bush administration, which, to be fair, I wasn't

448
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: a huge fan of George Bush either. I mean, he

449
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: was the Republican at that time, he was the Republican

450
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: flavor of that time. But the Times have change back

451
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: then though, if you remember, that's when all this division

452
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: started happening. The Texas is missing its village idiot. And

453
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: then we had Ward Churchill, that professor Rover in Boulder, Colorado.

454
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 2: They called him a Nazi, the first time that we

455
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: heard a president, a sitting president, be called a Nazi

456
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: or hitler, and he lost his job at that time. Oh,

457
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: those were the days when it was controversial to actually

458
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: say something like that, and you end up losing your

459
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: job because it was too radical to even think of that.

460
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: The Dixie Chicks back in the day, which now apparently

461
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: they call themselves just the Chicks. That doesn't make any

462
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: sense to me, but whatever that, Yeah, they're still around.

463
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: I know, I didn't know that either. It's okay, But

464
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: the Dixie Chicks back then when they started saying that

465
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: same kind of rhetoric, and people were boycotting the Dixie

466
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Chicks and burning their CDs, not listening to him any

467
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: longer because well of the rhetoric that they were spreading

468
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: it at that time. Now fast forward two here it

469
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: is the norm. It is the typical standard talking point

470
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: to call Donald Trump a Nazi and a fascist and

471
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: so on and so forth to the point to where

472
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: the last government shutdown that we saw back in October,

473
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: the longest government shutdown in American history done by Democrats.

474
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: They say that it was the beginning. It was we

475
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: were in the transition at that time to a complete

476
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: authoritarian state, that Donald Trump has now consumed all the power,

477
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 2: and that he was going to control everybody, and that

478
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: it was the authoritarian state because of that shutdown that

479
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was doing, not because those guys wanted to

480
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: re implement socialist programs that were completely out of date

481
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: because the COVID nineteen pandemic had ended wild concept. So

482
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: would you rather at nine one two six zero five

483
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: nine two six, would you rather see democrats try to

484
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: protest in the State of the Union, but be there

485
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: because he's the President of the United States that was

486
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: by the way, elected democratically with a popular vote and

487
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: the electoral College vote. Or would you rather, hey, if

488
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: you can't be a child, don't show or if you're

489
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: gonna act like a child, if you can't be an adult,

490
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: just don't show up at all and just go away,

491
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: because that's what's happening right now. Apparently, Hikim Jeffrey said

492
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: that that's the plan for many Democrats, but right now

493
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: that number has climbed to thirty plus.

494
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 6: The two options that are in front of us in

495
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 6: our house.

496
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: Is to either a ten.

497
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 6: With silent defiance.

498
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: Silent defiance don't or I don't know what.

499
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 6: That means, to not a ten and send a message

500
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 6: to Donald Trump in that fashion, which will include participation

501
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 6: in a variety of different alternate programming that is going

502
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 6: to take place in and around the Capitol Complex.

503
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I want to break this down for just

504
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: a moment, for maybe those that aren't the complete dorks

505
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: like we are that focus all on politics all the

506
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: time and understand the ins and out here for those

507
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: that are wondering, why is this such a big deal

508
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: for the state of the Union. Why is there so

509
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: much care? This is almost like an NFL game, right

510
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: this is and again, Dylan, correct me if I'm wrong here.

511
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: This almost like the Super Bowl where there is so

512
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: much speculation and they look at everything. There are betting

513
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: odds for the colored clothes that people are gonna wear.

514
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: Is the silent protests that according to Hakem Jefferies, that says,

515
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: so what they're gonna do? There are betting odds for that.

516
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: There are speculation on how many times that they applaud,

517
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: how many times did they stand up, how many words

518
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: he actually says, how long it is, what issues, and

519
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: how many topics he actually covers. How they do a protest,

520
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: like their speculation. It's like a Super Bowl game where

521
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: they break down not just the game itself and the

522
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: content of the game itself, but every aspect around it

523
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: as well. This is kind of a big deal for

524
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: the political doors for us, isn't a Dylan?

525
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. I mean, if you're betting money

526
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 5: on this kind of thing, that's when you probably want

527
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 5: to pay close attention. I think for our enjoyment, I

528
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 5: think I would rather them be there and just silently protests,

529
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: because it's kind of funny to watch them put up

530
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 5: their little signs. When Trump is like, you know, honoring

531
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 5: you know, a little boy that had cancer went through

532
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 5: it and like, you know, overcame something like that. They're

533
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 5: sitting there with their little signs like okay, this is

534
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 5: a bad look.

535
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: That was pretty cute last year. I think it was

536
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 2: last year when they did that, So I guess Donald

537
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: Trump did do one last year and they came up

538
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: and yeah, they had their sign there was. It was

539
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: black on one side, white on the other side, and

540
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: you know, they were saying that he's a liar or

541
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: he's whatever, and they would sit there and one year,

542
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it was last year, but a couple

543
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 2: of years ago, they wore all white for the purity

544
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 2: and all the women wore the white, which was kind

545
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: of funny in their silent protests against Donald Trump. So, yeah,

546
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: you're right, it's always entertaining for us on that front.

547
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: But at least they showed up. And I will give

548
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: them credit at that time they show they throw a

549
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: fit about it, but they show up because he's the

550
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: president of the United States. Nowadays, I don't know that

551
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: it has the same kind of impact it should it should.

552
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: When the executive the head of the executive branch. Well

553
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: again we're gonna go back to civic. So one on

554
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: one here three branches of government executive, legislative, and judicial.

555
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: The executive branch is run by the President of the

556
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: United States, who enforces laws and as the one who

557
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: calls on Congress to hopefully do things, has an idea

558
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: to kind of run the day to day activities of

559
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: the government. Kind of sorta that's kind of a big

560
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: deal when the President of the United States says, this

561
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: is what's going on in the nation, this is the

562
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: direction that I'd like to go, and Congress helped me out,

563
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: and let's you know, let's make a brother happy, let's

564
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 2: make this let's do this thing. And everybody, including political

565
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: non political people should be paying attention to something like that.

566
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: But Democrats now they're just like, nope, nope, we don't.

567
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: We despise him so much that we are going to

568
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: step away and not pay attention to him whatsoever and

569
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: completely disregard the State of the Union address. Look, you

570
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: have your time, and the opposition party always gets a

571
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: chance to do a rebuttal, and a post State of

572
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: the Union address is a rebuttal from the other side,

573
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: and you have more than the power, more than welcome

574
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: to do that. But for Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader

575
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: of the House, to just be like, well, we're either

576
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: going to sit there and silent protest or we're just

577
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: not going to show up at all, I think it's

578
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: a little bit distasteful. But again, on the two hundred

579
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 2: and fiftieth year, the most patriotic year, that we're going

580
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: to hear a State of the Union at least in

581
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: our lifetimes. I think they're not just going to show

582
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: up at all. Really is a telltale sign. I think

583
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: there needs to be some adults in the room. And

584
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 2: I got to give a major hat tip and prop

585
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: to Stephen A. Smith, who ironically is a sports commentator

586
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: and has a podcast who's calling out Democrats were doing this.

587
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 7: At some point in Tom, Ladies and Gentlemen, has got

588
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 7: to be an adult, and the President of the United

589
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 7: States is going to give his State of the Union address,

590
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 7: and the Democrats got other planes. So some are talking

591
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 7: about walking out in the middle of this speech. Others

592
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: are talking about boycotting it all together and essentially finding

593
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 7: something else to do.

594
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you that neither is acceptable.

595
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 7: If you're going to act as juvenile, as petulant, as

596
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: petty as you accuse the President of the United States

597
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 7: to be, how.

598
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: Are you ever going to hold a high moral ground,

599
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: at least high enough to judge him accordingly Boom. I

600
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: mean that probably sums up the entire statement right there.

601
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: You have to act like an adult. And I think

602
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: this is the difference in the young generation that's up

603
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: and coming right now the ones. And I apologize for this.

604
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm thirty seven, thirty eight, I don't know, I've lost

605
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: track already. I'm apparently midlife and midlife crisis is about

606
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: ready to hit me now already. But being a millennial,

607
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: I apologize for the millennial generation because my generations were

608
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: some of the first ones that grew up with the

609
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: participation trophy, that were never told no to get whatever

610
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: they want to, that are throwing the temper tantrums in

611
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: their parents' basement, and that are probably wearing the pink

612
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: cats outside or wearing the masks with Antifa or the

613
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 2: Watch Ice or whatever else movement's going on, because they

614
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: think that that's some being some type of revolutionists and

615
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: you know, freedom fighter and whatever else that they're doing.

616
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: This generation is the ones where if we don't like

617
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: what we hear, then we're just not going to participate

618
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: at all or get violent and try to change it

619
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: that way, because if we dislike what we hear, then

620
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: we're going to be the revolutionists to change it, because

621
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: everybody should be thinking and saying the same thing that

622
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: I want, and I think that's could be wrong. Probably

623
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: a problem in society, but with Democrats. Oh, by the way,

624
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: we did get breaking news here, Dylan. I don't know

625
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: if you're aware or not. The breaking news is according

626
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: to The Daily a spokesperson, because she's so high profile,

627
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: the spokesperson for Alexandria Okazio Cortes says that she will

628
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: not be participating at Trump's State of the Union address

629
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: and will not be there tonight.

630
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 5: Okay, boom, there you go.

631
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: All right, now we know the leader of the free world,

632
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party at least, and I say that

633
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: by default because of course they put her on the

634
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: Munich Security conference. They're putting her on the global stage

635
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: she's looking at for that presidential bid of twenty twenty eight.

636
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: She will not be attending the State of the Union

637
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: address tonight, so we will not see a protest from

638
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: Alexandria Okazio Cortez. I cannot speak for the rest of

639
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: the squad also known as the B squad, and you

640
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: can assume what that stands for with Ilhan Ohmore or

641
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: Rashida Talib or Sharise Davids from Kansas or other Democrats

642
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: that I don't know whether they will be showing up

643
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: or not or whether they will be doing their silent protests.

644
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: But if they do not like what they hear, they

645
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: just won't participate. And that's a problem with society. So

646
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: where do we say, nine two six zero five nine

647
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: two six nine oh one two six zero fifty nine

648
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: to twenty six the Democrats that are staging that protest

649
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: acting like the children. If that is the future of

650
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: the next generation of leaders in politics, we have a

651
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: serious problem and I think we need to address that immediately.

652
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: But today could be one of those most significant times.

653
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break back after this. Andy, who's're filling

654
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: in for the Todd Starnes Radio program. Welcome back to

655
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: it Todd Starns Radio Program for a Tuesday today, the

656
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: pre State of the Union Address twenty twenty six. The

657
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: pregame show is right here on the program. What do

658
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: you expect? Nine oh one two six zero five nine

659
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: two six nine oh one two six zero five nine

660
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: two six Probably one of the most awkward moments, And

661
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm kind of excited to see the awkwardness. Like you said, Dylan,

662
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: I mean the protests that they're coming from the other side.

663
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: I think there's even something more exciting happening tonight, and

664
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: that is, of course the staredown between Donald Trump and

665
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. It's going to be there that after

666
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: the statement or after the ruling from the Supreme Court

667
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: yesterday or last week on Texas. Now, to be fair,

668
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: donald Trump still has plans for tariffs. We'll talk about

669
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: that in just a little bit. New tariffs being implemented

670
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: as of today, and they just have to use a

671
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: different statue. It's not going to go anywhere. And in fact,

672
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: it actually emboldens the president even more so than before,

673
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: to use more terists at his leverage than what he

674
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: had in the past using the original statute. But the

675
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: awkwardness after that press conference on Thursday last week when

676
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: Donald Trump went out and said that they had foreign

677
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: ties and said that they don't know the Constitution and

678
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: he just railed on the Supreme Court judges, is how

679
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 2: awkward is it going to be when they're sitting right

680
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: there in the front row staring at the President of

681
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: the United States. I'm kind of looking forward to that, Dylan,

682
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: What do you think?

683
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so too. I love this kind of

684
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 5: stuff because I'm not into politics that that much. So

685
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 5: this kind of stuff always just fascinates me just to

686
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: see how I guess, and you were talking about it earlier,

687
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 5: just like childish some of these people can be. And

688
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 5: but yeah, that moment's going to be epic.

689
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: That is going to be epic now, that is I

690
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: wonder because I heard apparently that there was like a

691
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: begrudging invitement, uh, the inviting of the Supreme Court justices

692
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: to the state of the guna. They obviously have to go.

693
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: It's the three branches that's kind of the process. The

694
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: three branches of government. The military heads there, all the

695
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: cabinet members are all there, so that way they can

696
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: talk about all the stuff that's really going on. It's

697
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: the one time when just about everybody in Congress or

698
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: everybody in government in general gets together to talk about

699
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: these state of affairs right now. So they got to

700
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: have to go. But like you said, for people are

701
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: not as keen into the policy. Oh is that really true?

702
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: Is you know Donald Jump's idea here? I did ideas there.

703
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: It's more of the spectating sport of watching the awkwardness.

704
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: And to be fair, it really did start back in

705
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: the day under the Obama administration. And I want to

706
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: say it was Marjorie Taylor Green. That was the one

707
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: that yelled out, you're a liar. And before that we've

708
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: heard a few groans and booze. Before we've had obviously

709
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: one side of the aisle that just doesn't stand an

710
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: applaud because again it's all a game, and there's stats

711
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: on how many times a Congress will collap, how many

712
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: times the president's interrupted with them standing, how long the

713
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: applause is, who has the longest applause. All of this

714
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: is recorded, and it's weird. It's very weird on that.

715
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: But I want to say the first time that it

716
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: was again scandalous to interrupt anybody during the State of

717
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: the Union was I want to say, it was Marjorie

718
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: Taylor Green under the first Obama administration. And since then

719
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: it's just gotten out of hand because we had that.

720
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 2: Then we had Democrats that were calling Donald Trump a liar,

721
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: and it's majorataly now gone back to that side. I

722
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: don't remember. There was one time under the Biden administration

723
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: where they called him out and just said it was

724
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: not true, and it was because Joe Biden was saying

725
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: that Republicans wanted to cut SOLI security and they were

726
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: yelling no, that's not true. That's a lie. It's a

727
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 2: complete lie. And then Joe Biden, in his stumbling, bumbling

728
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: whatever he was as Joe Biden looked at him and said, well, well,

729
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 2: I'm really happy to hear the I guess we should

730
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 2: work on a bill then, which was probably the worst

731
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: thing he could have said, But it wasn't really Joe

732
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: Biden up there anyways, it was just his talking head, right,

733
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists, thank you very much. So now Donald Jump's

734
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: gonna have either the same type of protest or just

735
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: the walking out altogether, going as far as by the way,

736
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: I've heard now that we've heard that not only will

737
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: they some of them not show up, but they're planning

738
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: on an alternative broadcast at the same time as the

739
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: State of the Union. They're trying to turn it into

740
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: like the turning Point USA alternative from the halftime show

741
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl to where if you don't want

742
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: to watch this, you can watch this over here. And

743
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: then it's going to be a battle of ratings, and

744
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: it's going to be a battle of viewership and who's

745
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: actually going to be paying attention to what. And we've

746
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: heard that there might be an alternative broadcast, not just

747
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: the response of the State of the Union by Democrats,

748
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: but an actual full on alternative broadcast somewhere else for

749
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: people to tune into for the Democrats if they don't

750
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 2: want to listen to Donald Trump. And that's a little weird. Again,

751
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: He's the President of the United States, and whether you

752
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: like him or not, I want to hear what he

753
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: has to say. I would rather listen to him and

754
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: then respond to it afterwards and be like, yeah, I

755
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: agree with this, I disagree with this. I don't know,

756
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: but the awkwardness is going to be Their Supreme Court's

757
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: going to be fun, you know what I'm waiting for though,

758
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: And I know Todd has not talked about this on

759
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: the program, but Dylan, I really, really, really really hope

760
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: this could be a huge opportunity here. Donald Trump could

761
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: address the extra terrestrial thing from last week.

762
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, could that happen?

763
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: Now? For those that have not been following this, I'm

764
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: a dork. I've been following this to the n degree.

765
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: Barack Obama a couple weeks ago on a podcast said

766
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: aliens are real like without hesitation, then tried to walk

767
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 2: it back a little bit. They mentioned it to Donald

768
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: Trump a few days later, he says that that was

769
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: not that it wasn't real, but it was classified information

770
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: and he should not have said that. That kind of

771
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: blew up big time. And then because of that that

772
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: night said that he's releasing and ordering the Department of

773
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: War and all these other agencies to disclose all the

774
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: information regarding UFOs, you and extraterrestrials. And I'm just thrown

775
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: it out there. But now that he has said that,

776
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: this would be the prime opportunity for Donald Trump to

777
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: come out on the big the biggest scale, the biggest

778
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: platform he has as a State of the Union and

779
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: address the issue on extraterrestrials. Do you think he'll do it?

780
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 5: I think if people are not betting on that right now,

781
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 5: they should go ahead and start because I think he

782
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 5: knows what the people want to know. And you know,

783
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 5: especially if you're not super into everything else policy wise,

784
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 5: like if you don't get on that, like he could

785
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: spend hours talking about that and just letting us know,

786
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 5: just give a little insight what's going on behind there.

787
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 2: Well, he could spend hours talking about it. But even

788
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: if he just briefly mentioned it, just even one line, again,

789
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: if you want a Bingo card for the night tonight,

790
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: if you want a Bingo card for the state of

791
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: the Union, and you think, well, he's gonna mention affordability,

792
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: and he's gonna mention tariffs, he's gonna mention Mexico, he's

793
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: gonna mention Iran. Whatever else put on that Bingo card

794
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: is just one of those slots for your drinking game,

795
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: for the quote unquote adult beverage of choice or for

796
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: your sweet tea. Then you put on that big O

797
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: card somewhere that he's going to address the issue of

798
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 2: extra tra even just one line of saying that, you know,

799
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: in transparency, we've released all the Epstein files. We're working

800
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: on more transparency where we're you know, want to be

801
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: in I don't know. We want to disclose more information

802
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: to the American people. The government should not be hiding

803
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: any more secrets. We've released all this great information. Our

804
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: Department of Justice is doing a great job, which is

805
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: debatable in my opinion, but if he says that they're

806
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 2: doing a great job, our FBI director is doing a

807
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: great job. Department of Wars doing a great job. We

808
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: want all this information out. We're going to release information

809
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: regarding technology, UFOs, UAPs and extraterrestrials. And even if it's

810
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: only that statement, people are going to go nuts. Man,

811
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: that would be wild. I can't wait to put that

812
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: on your BINGO card for tonight. That would be a

813
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: lot of fun. All Right, we'll continue this conversation your

814
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: speculation on the State of the Union at nine oh

815
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. Also not

816
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: sure if you're aware or not, government's still shut down.

817
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: Pretty wild. Let's talk about that when we come back

818
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: around the corner for hour number two for the Todd

00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: honor to fill in for the seat for Todd today

840
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: for what we're deeming here is the pregame of the

841
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: State of the Union twenty twenty six. What can we

842
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: expect tonight? It's going to be a big lee one

843
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: is Donald Trump said. So there's plenty to cover there,

Speaker 2: two six zero fifty nine to twenty six moving the

848
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: Liberty University Studios out here to Witch Talk Candas on

849
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: my flagship station KQAM. A great partner and affiliate of

850
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: the Todd Starns Radio show. By the way, we wrapped

851
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: up this last hour telling you are getting people angry

852
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: at us here on the program today and because apparently

853
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: you're just not involved in politics, people not very happy

854
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: about that.

855
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, we we We did get a comment about me

856
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 5: not being too involved. You know, it's okay, it happens.

857
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 5: Not everyone's gonna have the same opinion, not even's gonna,

858
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 5: you know, be as involved as everyone else.

859
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: And that's okay, that's what makes it America. And well

860
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: it's what makes it America. But you know what, it

861
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: actually brings up a really good talking point for the

862
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: fact that now, ho old are you, Dylan. You're a

863
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: little bit younger than I am freshly twenty seven, freshly

864
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Fantastic, all right, so you're a bit younger

865
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: than I am. And so I mean, there is a

866
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: mindset from the younger generation to where things are so divisive,

867
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: they're so angry, they're so hateful that people just want

868
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: to disengage and not be involved in it at all.

869
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: Either that or they don't care about the details of policy,

870
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: which I get. You know, that's you got to have

871
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: a right mindset for that. And I'm not a lawyer.

872
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm not a legal scholar. I'm not a you know,

873
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: or a constitutional less We read the constitution, but outside

874
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 2: of that, you know, to understand and follow how government functions.

875
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: That's not everybody's cup of tea. But as conservatives, as activists,

876
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: as voters, as people that are engaged, that's our duty

877
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: to find a way to get it relatable to where Dylan,

878
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 2: people like you do pay a little bit more attention

879
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 2: to the issues and understand what's going on in.

880
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 5: Society certainly, and that does happen on a daily basis.

881
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 5: You know, I do work here, I do. I am

882
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 5: up to date on politics and things. So yeah, I'm

883
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 5: well informed.

884
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: It's just not your entire life.

885
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 5: It's not my entire life. So that's that's all it is.

886
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: And that's okay, unless they talk about ets.

887
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 5: Unless they talk about ET. I did go to school

888
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 5: for music, so that that's that's also you know my jam.

889
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well, see, you know what, everybody's got their interest,

890
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 2: but that is our duty. If we want to see

891
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: voter engagement increase, if we want to see people turn

892
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: out to the polls more so than before, we have

893
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: to find a way to reach people that are just

894
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: not engaged, the ones that watch the Guardashians. And I

895
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: say that with very struggling emphasis, but though that care

896
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: more about what a celebrity's doing than what our elected

897
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: officials are doing. Although in today's age, I guess celebrities

898
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: and the elected officials are one in the same. All Right,

899
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 2: I ask you, if we have the ongoing game today

900
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 2: of the Bingo card, what can we expect for the

901
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: State of the Union tonight? The terms of affordability, the

902
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: golden age of America, and of course probably this being

903
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: the most important State of the Union address that we've

904
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: had in a very long time. With the two hundred

905
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday of the nation, we can talk about patriotism,

906
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 2: the greatness of this country. And again I will ball

907
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: my eyes out if he mentions the comment that we

908
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: are great in this nation not because of government, but

909
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: in spite of government. If he does that, man, it's

910
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: going to be waterworks, gonna be insane. Where according to

911
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: Caroline Lovett, we are expected to see a pretty emotional

912
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: speech going on tonight. At that same time, foreign policy

913
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: is going to be a big issue tonight and I

914
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: think I want to spend some time on foreign policy

915
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: for just a moment, because there has been a riff

916
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 2: within the quote unquote MAGA movement on foreign policy, because

917
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: some say, why are we focused so much on foreign policy?

918
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: Why are we not focused on America first? Why are

919
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: we not focusing on just the issues here in the

920
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: United States? And I understand that argument, But at the

921
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: same time, in today's age, whether we accept it and

922
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 2: like it or not, globalization or at least a global

923
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: economy or the influence of other nations and relationships with

924
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: other nations, or the enemies and threats of other nations,

925
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 2: are something that largely impact us here in the United

926
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: States today. The new tariff policy, at least one of

927
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 2: the new tariff policies a global tariff of ten percent.

928
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: He dropped it back down from fifteen percent. It is

929
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: now ten percent officially takes hold today, that coming after

930
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: the statement from the Supreme Court last week in their

931
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: decision that what he was using as the statute before

932
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: is not able to be used right now. However, they

933
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: pretty much gave him the green light of Hey, you

934
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 2: can't do it this way, here's the guidelines for you.

935
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 8: To do it.

936
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: A different way. Have at it, buddy, go crazy. And

937
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 2: that's what Donald Trump's going to do. And he said

938
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 2: even during his speech in the press conference last week

939
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: that he would be essentially even more powerful on tariff

940
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 2: control than what he was in the past. But until

941
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: they get that figured out, until they change the statute,

942
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: it's going to be a global ten percent tariff. And

943
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: I want, for just a moment, I cannot wait and

944
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: speculate to see the awkwardness of when Donald Trump looks

945
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: into the eyes of the Supreme Court justices that are

946
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 2: going to be sitting in the front roaw today for

947
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: the State of the Union address when he addresses and

948
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: mentions this issue, because it really, at least for the moment,

949
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 2: temporarily takes away all the leverage Donald Trump had in

950
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 2: making better trade deals. And I think that is a

951
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: cost for a concern for us and for some reason,

952
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: the United States, we love to spine ourselves and eat

953
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: our own and I don't understand it for those that

954
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 2: don't know, we've created what ten new trade deals with

955
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 2: nations because for the longest time, and I'm still trying

956
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 2: to grapple with this understanding that we have people in

957
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: a in these departments in the Secretary of States are

958
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: off in whatever agency that looks over these trade deals.

959
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: We have hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of

960
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 2: workers that all they do is coordinate with other nations,

961
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: work with the trade deals, and then know what's coming

962
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: into the country, what's not coming into the country, what

963
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: we need, what we did like, they monitor all of

964
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: this stuff. And for decades when we haven't created a

965
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: new trade deal since like the nineteen seventies, were just like, man,

966
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: we're just going to keep it going. Prime examples is

967
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: the Nation of Australia. And I like this one as

968
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: an example because living in Kansas run from here on

969
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: KQAM my big big talker in Wichitaw Kansas that a

970
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: lot of it's agriculture and most of the middle of

971
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: the country is agriculture. That for the longest time, farmers,

972
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 2: ranchers you probably know this. A lot of people didn't,

973
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: did you know that we have not been able to

974
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 2: sell cattle and beef into the Nation of Australia since

975
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: like the seventies because at that time there was some

976
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: virus going through our cattle herds and Australia didn't want it.

977
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: So they updated the trade deal to say that we're

978
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: not going to purchase any beef or cattle from the

979
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: US because we don't want that virus that was long gone,

980
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: Like that virus is gone and it's been for a

981
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 2: long time. Never updated the trade deal to be like, hey,

982
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 2: we should probably start selling meat back to you guys. Again,

983
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: didn't happen until the Trump administration. Now we have a

984
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 2: better trade deal with them. Now we've opened up new

985
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 2: markets to where cattle ranchers can actually sell their meat

986
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: and export more of their beef to other nations, including

987
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: the including the UK, including Australia and other places. All

988
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 2: of them now redoing their egg trades where we can

989
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: sell these products globally. And that's a good thing. It's

990
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: a good thing for farmers when we've had trouble with

991
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: herds and with drought and with issues that they've been

992
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: struggling for a long time. Now we have more of

993
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: a demand and we can produce more, we can make

994
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: more money, and everything's going to be moving in the

995
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: right direction. So we've we forced these countries to come

996
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: to the table and do these trade negotiations because of tariffs.

997
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: You've been taking advantage of us for a long time.

998
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen anymore. We're going to place

999
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: this teriff on you, and that way it forces you

1000
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 2: to come to the table. We redo it, and then

1001
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 2: we can get rid of all the tariffs and we

1002
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: can all be happy because everybody's making some money. Like

1003
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: that's the purpose of what these were supposed to be.

1004
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't like tariffs. It's a

1005
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: tax on the people. I understand that policy, but my golly,

1006
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: this has been done for a temporary thing, and now

1007
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: we've taken all of that leverage away. And now the

1008
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: new trade deals, the ten new ones at least that

1009
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 2: we've had now again have a ten percent global tax

1010
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: or a tariff on them until we can figure out

1011
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: what to do with these new statutes, and that's kind

1012
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: of insane. Donald Trump tonight will be apparently advocating for

1013
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 2: Congress to codify many of his tariff laws and what

1014
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: he wants to do, which, according to James Comer, says

1015
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 2: that that's what he's going to try and focus on

1016
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: in Congress. But look, I support the president. We're going

1017
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: to do, you know.

1018
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 9: In my congressional office in Kentucky, I'm gonna do whatever

1019
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 9: the President wants to move his agenda forward. And I

1020
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 9: know Mike Johnson and c scalish are trying very hard

1021
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 9: to get the votes. And I think the President's going

1022
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 9: to address this tariff situation tonight in his speech along

1023
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 9: with many other issues like healthcare.

1024
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 2: So yeah, so apparently we're struggling. And this goes into

1025
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 2: the filibuster with the non sixty vote majority we have

1026
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: in the Senate, the slim majority of two three four

1027
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: five votes we have in the House right now with

1028
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, where Mike Johnson has openly said hat tip

1029
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 2: to Fox News today saying that it's unlikely that Congress

1030
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: will be able to codify the tariffs for President Donald Trump.

1031
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: And it begs the question, which is probably one of

1032
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: the things that we will expect to see in a

1033
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 2: call for from the Trump administration tonight during that State

1034
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: of the Union, is that he needs to call on

1035
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: Congress to what do something? Gets something done? Come on, man,

1036
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: you guys are Congress. We again gave you the House,

1037
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 2: gave you the Senate, gave you the presidency. You gotta

1038
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: do something. We got to learn how to rally, We

1039
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: got to learn how to unite and we need apparently

1040
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: better whips and by whips, which meaning if you don't know,

1041
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: there's actually whips on each party to actually rally their

1042
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: troops to vote in unison as a party to actually

1043
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: get things done. Well, we gotta do that. Man. What's

1044
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: the point of having a Republican majority if we're not

1045
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 2: going to get anything done? And going into midterm season,

1046
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 2: run right now, the odds, the betting odds show that

1047
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: Republicans keep the Senates but lose the House, and we

1048
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 2: gain by the way Republican governors across the nation. But

1049
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: losing the House means impeachment votes against Donald Trump and

1050
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: means no bills, no legislation, no codifying the Trump agenda

1051
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: for the next two years. And we can't have that.

1052
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: And the only way Republicans are going to win and

1053
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: actually get some momentum with Republican voters wanting to turn

1054
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: out and vote for them is if Republicans begin codifying

1055
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 2: what Trump has done, and by codify, I mean ram

1056
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 2: it down their throats, end the filibuster and the Senate

1057
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: and every day codify what Donald Trump signed what close

1058
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 2: to four hundred executive orders, codify them, permanentize them, make

1059
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 2: them legislation, make them law. It can't just be the

1060
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: one big beautiful bill. It can't just be the Save Act,

1061
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: which we're struggling to do right now in the Senate.

1062
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: It can't be that we have so much we have

1063
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: to do. Show up hands. Anybody know the governments still

1064
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: actually shut down right now? Why because Republicans coward during

1065
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: the appropriations process. After the House passed the minibus bill

1066
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: of all the appropriations or at least a few of

1067
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: the appropriations in one lump sum Senate to the Senate,

1068
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 2: and then Democrats said no, no, let's separate funding from

1069
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: the Department of Homeland Security and we'll pass all the

1070
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: other appropriation bills, but let's focus on DHS because that's

1071
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: where ICE is. And we just want simple reforms, right,

1072
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 2: We want simple reforms on ICE, changing their uniform a

1073
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: little bit, making sure they don't wear a mask, making

1074
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: sure they have body cameras on. We just want simple tunings.

1075
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 2: And by the way, we want to cut a little

1076
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: bit of their funding, get rid of close to five

1077
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: thousand deportation hubs around the country or sells to where

1078
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: we can house these illegal migrants before we deport them.

1079
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: We just want slight things, and stupidly Republicans were like, oh,

1080
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: sure that cares a great idea, So they separated the funding,

1081
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: they passed all the others, and now we're still sitting

1082
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: in a partial government shutdown with two to three percent

1083
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 2: of the federal budget that has not been passed for

1084
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 2: the Department of Homeland Security. Now we have tea say workers,

1085
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: we have the border security, we have ICE agents, we

1086
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 2: have people in our security like keeping this country safe

1087
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 2: and doing what they have to do not getting paid,

1088
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 2: going through the steps of the furlough essentially by working

1089
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 2: without pay until this redoined. And according to rakeem Jeffries,

1090
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: he's just like, oh, it's a Republican shutdown again. Oh

1091
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 2: my goodness. The person who invented this thing is simply well,

1092
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: that's not the right one. Let's try. Oh, let's go

1093
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: this one.

1094
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 10: We have to abolish ICE. We have to abolish the

1095
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 10: customers and border patrol in the way they currently exist

1096
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 10: and replace them with something that actually does the work

1097
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 10: that we need for them to al at holding these

1098
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 10: people in this administration accountable. I'll tell you what the

1099
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 10: work is not.

1100
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 2: The work is not killing American citizens.

1101
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 9: Says I'm interested in your opinion, What is the work

1102
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 9: that we need them to do?

1103
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 10: Absolutely the work is not killing American citizens.

1104
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: Okay, so now we've let them, we've given them a mention,

1105
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: they're taking a mile right. This was a Democrat strategist

1106
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 2: on CNN saying that now not only do we want

1107
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 2: to reform ICE, but now we're just going to abolish

1108
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: it completely. The radicals took hold and now we're in

1109
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: a quagmire. Now we have to pass DHS funding. Everybody's

1110
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: on furlough, and now we have these people that are like, no, no,

1111
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 2: we don't just want to reform ICE, we want to

1112
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: cancel it all together. We want to abolish ICE. And

1113
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 2: Republicans are saying no, and the Democrats are just like, well,

1114
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: I guess just what we're going to have to do

1115
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 2: of the.

1116
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 6: Trump Republican shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

1117
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 2: Why are we in this moment?

1118
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 6: It's because Republicans have decided that they would rather shut

1119
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 6: down FEMA, shut down TSA, and shut down the coastcard

1120
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 6: then get ICE under control.

1121
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 2: That's the argument. Their argument is they don't want to

1122
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 2: rain in ICE, while the Democrats are saying it out loud,

1123
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 2: as they're pundits, as other elected officials, they're not satisfied

1124
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 2: until it's abolished completely. How we get out of that,

1125
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. But the reason we're in this situation

1126
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: in the first place is because Republicans gave up all

1127
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: of their leverage by splitting up that vote of the

1128
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: appropriate and separating that from the rest of it instead

1129
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: of saying no past it all. Then we can talk

1130
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 2: about reforms later. Absolutely insane. I hope Donald Trump calls

1131
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 2: them out for that tonight on the State of the

1132
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: Union address. Gotta take a break nine oh one two

1133
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: six zero five to nine two six, your thoughts on

1134
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 2: what we could expect tonight and a heck of a

1135
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 2: lot more. It is Andy, who's you're sitting in for

1136
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: the Todd Starnes Radio program? Welocome back to it, Todd

1137
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 2: Starns Radio program for a Tuesday today, the pregame show

1138
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 2: for the State of the Union twenty twenty six. That's

1139
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 2: what we're deeming the program today, Andy, who's you're sitting in?

1140
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you at nine oh one

1141
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 2: two six zero five to nine two six. By the way,

1142
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 2: speaking of the the DHS funding ice reforms the push

1143
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 2: now of the radicalized ones where they've let the cat

1144
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 2: out of the bag. First they were just like, oh,

1145
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 2: let's just do some basic reforms. So now we're not

1146
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: settling for anything less than the complete abolishment of ICE

1147
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: and the reform of DHUSE altogether. And if you don't,

1148
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: it's Republican's fault for not getting on board at the

1149
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 2: the real reason for compromise, right, that's how we hear

1150
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: compromise in today's terms according to Democrats, that is, you

1151
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: have to get on board with everything that we want,

1152
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: as radical as it may or may not be. And

1153
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: if you don't, then you're not bipartisan. You're not working

1154
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 2: and willing to reach across the aisle. I'm sorry, I

1155
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 2: don't want to reach across the aisle to absolute lunacy.

1156
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 2: But the cats out of the bag and now the

1157
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 2: radicals have hijacked the Democrat party advocating for the abolishment

1158
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 2: of ice.

1159
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 5: We have to abolish ice.

1160
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 10: We have to abolish the customs and border patrol in

1161
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 10: the way they currently exist and replace them with something

1162
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 10: that actually does the work that we need for them

1163
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 10: to work.

1164
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 2: At holding. At Holding, I don't know what he means

1165
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 2: they're doing their job. They're rounding up people that are illegal,

1166
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 2: specifically that have broken the law, that are criminals beyond

1167
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: just becoming an illegal alien, and then deporting them. I

1168
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 2: don't know what else they're supposed to be doing. That's

1169
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 2: kind of strange. By the way. I don't know if

1170
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 2: you've seen, but ilhan Omar is not very happy. She

1171
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: apparently went to go and try and visit a detention

1172
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 2: facility from ICE before people were deported in Minneapolis, and

1173
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 2: by the time they showed up, they had already shipped

1174
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: out and deported everybody that was at that detention facility.

1175
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 11: Now, we gave notice eight days ago, we got confirmation

1176
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 11: yesterday that we were going to be allowed in, and

1177
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 11: the last detainee was taken out at eleven thirty a m.

1178
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 11: Thirty minutes before we were set to arrive.

1179
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 2: What about the children are? We reached in t shirts

1180
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, and we also did ask.

1181
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 12: You know how many how many people came through today,

1182
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 12: which is why it felt convenient that no one was there.

1183
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 12: They said ten when we first got there, and ten

1184
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 12: were gone, and then they said there were another five.

1185
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 2: So apparently they went to go visit them. Of course,

1186
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 2: the victims of the totalitarian authoritary regime of the Trump

1187
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 2: administration and the gestapo of the Trump administration, meaning ice

1188
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 2: that they want to go visit the victims of our

1189
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 2: society and these detention facilities to tell them everything's okay

1190
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 2: and that we will protect you and do what we

1191
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 2: can to try and keep you in society. As criminal

1192
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 2: people that were breaking the lung causing harm in the streets,

1193
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: we want to showcase you. And by the time they

1194
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 2: got there, all of them were gone and they got

1195
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 2: nothing more than to visit an empty cell. Well done,

1196
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 2: Trump administration. The trolling continues and they're not very happy

1197
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: about it. That's we're coming up. Stay here, all right,

1198
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: Welcome back to it. It is the top SERNS radio

1199
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 2: program Andy, who's're sitting in today for your pregame show

1200
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 2: of the State of the Union twenty twenty six. We're

1201
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 2: breaking down everything that could be actually be talked about.

1202
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 2: The new tariffs taking hold today, the change in statute

1203
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: from the Trump administration on how to implement different tariffs

1204
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 2: and what does that mean moving forward, The leverage that

1205
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: we apparently like to take away from ourselves when we

1206
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 2: negotiate with other foreign nations. That's really kind of strange. Plus,

1207
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: of course we have the Golden Age of America. We

1208
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: have the setting up, the stage is set now for

1209
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: midterm elections of twenty twenty six. Plenty of things covering

1210
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: and going on right now, the partial government shutdown from

1211
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 2: the DHS funding and of course the lack of movement

1212
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: from Congress on codifying the Trump Agenda, the Save Act

1213
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: and more. What the heck is this world going into

1214
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 2: the chaos and anarchy and Shenan against us? Joe Biden

1215
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 2: would say, the malarkey and society. But I want to

1216
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: talk about some of this and more with our next

1217
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: guest on the program as we go to our Patriot

1218

1220
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: Republican strategist, a regular guest on Newsmax focusing on different

1221
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 2: legislative affairs campaigns, and so much more. Really happy to

1222

1228
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 2: speculation for the State of the Union tonight, the two

1229
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and fiftieth birthday of the nation at least

1230
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: probably one of the most patriotic years of a State

1231
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: of the Union that we could potentially hear about. What

1232
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: could we expect tonight from Donald Trump?

1233
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 13: Look, I mean, I think it's going to cover a

1234
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 13: lot of different talking points, but I think you're going

1235
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 13: to see a particular focus from the President on foreign affairs.

1236
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 13: I mean, between with Venezuela, what's happening in Mexico, with tariffs, Greenland,

1237
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 13: the Board of Peace. The President has really been putting

1238
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 13: his foreign policies in afford un much the credit of

1239
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 13: Barco Rubio as well. So I think you're going to

1240
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 13: see a lot of foreign affairs covered tonight along with

1241
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 13: It was just announced a couple of hours ago that

1242
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 13: Erica Kirk is going to be there as other special guests.

1243
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 13: I think it's gonna be a pretty wide discussion.

1244
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a wide discussion. You mentioned

1245
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: the foreign policy. You're right, I think there will be

1246
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: a large chunk of this speech that we'll focus on

1247
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 2: foreign policy, which is almost controversial in itself. Because when

1248
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Donald Trump really started paying attention to a lot of

1249
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: foreign policy issues that's needed. I mean, that's kind of

1250
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: the world that we live in today, is how we

1251
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 2: relate to other nations and whether we have a lot

1252
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: of threats or whether we have strong allies and trade

1253
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 2: policy and so on and so forth. But you know,

1254
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 2: the ones that have tried to breach the MAGA movement

1255
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 2: and stray away from the MAGA movement, like the Marjorie

1256
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Taylor Greens and others that said we're focusing too much

1257
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: on foreign policy. Is that going to cause an issue tonight,

1258
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: do you think?

1259
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 15: Look?

1260
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 13: I mean, I think ninety nine percent of Republicans are

1261
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 13: unified on this brau. Look, Trump has been consistent going

1262
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 13: back to twenty sixteen to now. It's always been about

1263
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 13: America first. And sometimes America first means supporting Israel, or

1264
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 13: supporting our allies overseas, or taking out drug cartels in Venezuela.

1265
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 13: So look, America first also means a lot of different

1266
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 13: things to a lot of different people, but at its course,

1267
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 13: putting America's national interests first, whether that's too domestically or overseas. Yeah,

1268
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 13: there's a faction in the Republican Party that disagree he's

1269
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 13: just that. But look, that honestly just gives us credit

1270
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 13: to the fact that we are a big ten party

1271
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 13: and we have a lot of different viewpoints within a

1272
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 13: party and healthy to debate those and then you know,

1273
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 13: we move forward together as a team.

1274
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. How awkward is it going

1275
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: to be for Donald Trump to be staring at the

1276
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: front row with the Supreme Court justices after railing on

1277
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 2: them last week for having foreign interests and not abiding

1278
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: by the Constitution. Now they did give him guidelines on

1279
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 2: how to change the statue on the tear off policy.

1280
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 2: We are seeing the global tear if come in at

1281
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 2: ten percent starting today until he changes those statutes. But

1282
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: what do you think he's going to do? Is he

1283
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 2: directs an attack towards Supreme Court justices sitting in the

1284
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: front row tonight.

1285
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 13: Look, look, we one thing I think I'm all of

1286
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 13: us credit Donald Trump with And you know, author can

1287
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 13: get him into trouble sometimes, and I think he would

1288
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 13: admit that himself as he speaks his vine, which is

1289
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 13: a refreshing in a lot of ways, but also can

1290
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 13: get him into some trouble. So we'll see he mentioned

1291
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 13: the Supreme Court justice. Honestly, I don't know well what

1292
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 13: he would say, but it'll be a fun one to watch.

1293
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be a fun one to watch. As

1294
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 2: you mentioned, we did see the breaking news Erica Kirk

1295
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: will be there as a special guest for Donald Trump.

1296
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: It sounds like he'll probably mention Charlie Kirk and mentioned

1297
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 2: the movement of trying to bring conservatism to the young generation,

1298
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. We're also hearing the breaking news

1299
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: according to the spokesperson from Alexandria Okazio Cortez that she

1300
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: will not be attending the State of the Union address.

1301
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: Apparently there are near thirty Democrats that plean to not

1302
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 2: attend the State of a Union address, and they're now

1303
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 2: promoting an alternative broadcast called like the People's Rally or

1304
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 2: something where it's going to be almost like turning Points

1305
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 2: alternative halftime show at the super Bowl, where they're apparently

1306
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 2: going to be trying to get alternative programming to drive

1307
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 2: people away from Donald Trump. Is that going to be

1308
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: a successful ploy here?

1309
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 13: Look, I don't think so. I think they're just going

1310
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 13: to be speaking to the same people that are already

1311
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 13: on their side. Look, when you're elected to Congress, you're

1312
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 13: there to represent roughly speaking, seven hundred and fifty thousand

1313
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 13: in stitchuent. So at the end of the day, where's

1314
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 13: your You know, your party's empowering, your agree to president

1315
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 13: or you don't. You should be in the room at

1316
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 13: least listening to the agenda that the president's laying out

1317
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 13: in book. You're you know, more than welcome to disagree

1318
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 13: and voice your concerns. But they go off and kind

1319
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 13: of do the star show that Frankly, no one's going

1320
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 13: to watch. I mean, good for them, I guess, but

1321
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 13: no one cares.

1322
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not going to make a whole lot of difference.

1323
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 2: Like you said, let's it's just their echo chamber that

1324
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 2: they're going to have. We're talking about Josh Jones to

1325
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Republican strategists. You can find him on the tweety or

1326
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 2: on x at Josh Jones d C. Let's focus on

1327
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 2: for just a moment, what do you think the message

1328
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 2: is going to be from Donald Trump to members of

1329
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: Congress And by that I mean Republican leaders in Congress

1330
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 2: that for a year, outside of passing the One Big

1331
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill, really haven't seen a lot of action. We

1332
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 2: haven't seen the codifying of the Trump Agenda, we haven't

1333
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 2: seen the passage of the Save Act. We still have

1334
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 2: a partial government shutdown with Homeland security funding in limbo

1335
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 2: right now. After allowing Democrats to separate that funding from

1336
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 2: the rest of the rest of the appropriations process, is

1337
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: he going to be sterned with Republicans to pretty much say, hey,

1338
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: if you want to win in the midterm elections coming

1339
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 2: up in November, let's get on the roll and let's

1340
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: start getting some things done here.

1341
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, you're you're hitting them now on the head. I

1342
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 13: hope that's funny, does frankly, because look, I'm a Republican,

1343
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 13: don't get me wrong. Heck I work with some of

1344
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 13: these Republican congress people on the political side of things

1345
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 13: and helping them with their campaigns. But look, if we

1346
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 13: don't do anything once we're elected, if we can't govern

1347
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 13: and get bills across the two congressman onto the President's desk,

1348
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 13: and then what are we doing? So I hope the

1349
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 13: President does hold Congress accountable because Democrats are on the

1350
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 13: march as recomes to mid terms. Look, their message is

1351
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 13: Donald Trump, and that's what they're going to use to

1352
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 13: drive their base to the polls. I'm not saying that's

1353
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 13: obviously something I agree with, but that's what they're going

1354
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 13: to do, and it's going to get their voters to

1355
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 13: come out. And Republicans have to give a reason for

1356
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 13: their voters to come out and vote too. If they

1357
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 13: fact they're not getting anything done in DC, they're not

1358
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 13: going to rehire them. So I hope Trump holds Congress

1359
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 13: accountable tonight.

1360
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think he's going to call for the

1361
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 2: end of the filibuster in the Senate?

1362
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 13: Look, that'd be a chesty one. I don't know, one

1363
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 13: way or another, because there are a lot of those

1364
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 13: more traditional conservatives and the Senate to how a lot

1365
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 13: of that. I hear, a lot of the traditions and

1366
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 13: the institution of the Senate. So look, that'd be a

1367
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 13: controversial one if he did bring it up.

1368
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 16: But who knows.

1369
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 13: I mean, it's definitely impossible.

1370
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be Interesting's for a minutelet'shift gears. Let's

1371
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: go down to Mexico for a moment. The civil war

1372
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 2: that's taking place right now, the cartels that are lashing

1373
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 2: out after the killing of the cartel leader and his son,

1374
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 2: and the president down there feeling the pressure. The headline

1375
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: we've seen is abiding by the Trump admin or abiding

1376
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 2: to the cartels. This has been something that's, in my opinion,

1377
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 2: been long and coming for a while. Now with the

1378
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 2: cartels finally starting to rise up and essentially purging ourselves

1379
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: of that type of insanity down in that area, are

1380
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 2: we seeing the cleansing? And I say that loosely for

1381
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 2: the people that are like Donald Trump wants a cleansing,

1382
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: But are we seeing a cleansing of evil in our

1383
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: western hemisphere? After the arrest of Nicholas Maduro, the pressure

1384
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: we're putting on Cuba, and now, in my opinion, the

1385
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: pressure that President Trump is put on the nation of

1386
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: Mexico to expose a lot of these cartels to where

1387
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 2: we could finally it's going to get brutal for a while.

1388
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 2: But if we can cleanse this, are we on the

1389
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: track to actually clean up our western hemisphere?

1390
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 13: Look, I mean, that's what I'm hoping for, and I

1391
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 13: think that's what this administration and particularly the secretor of

1392
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 13: Say Rubio, is working on. I mean, at a very minimum,

1393
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 13: you know, and it has nothing I think a lot

1394
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 13: of at least some people in the Republican conservative movement

1395
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 13: would argue that it's too globalists or we're getting too

1396
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 13: involved in international fears. But this is the Western hemisphere.

1397
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 13: This is our backyard. If we can't secure our border

1398
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 13: in our backyard as it relates to cartels and drugs

1399
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 13: coming into our country, then we have a big problem

1400
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 13: on our hands. So thank you are seeing a big

1401
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 13: push from the President and his administration. And this goes

1402
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 13: back to securing the border, but to exercise our influence

1403
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 13: into our hemisphere, frankly, in taking out these drug operations.

1404
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 13: And look, it's going to save American lives in the

1405
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 13: long term. And yeah, a little bit of turmoil in

1406
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 13: Mexico right now or Venezuela or wherever else, but look,

1407
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 13: when you're sick, you have to go into the you

1408
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 13: have to go onto the operating table. And that's what's

1409
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 13: happening right now.

1410
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: That is what's happening right now. And for those that

1411
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: are concerned about foreign policy, look, I mean, we've cleaned

1412
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 2: up the border, We've been able to seal the border,

1413
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 2: We've been able to deport a lot of these gang

1414
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 2: members and cartel members out of the United States already.

1415
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that they're still not knocking in

1416
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: our door waiting for a different administration and waiting for

1417
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 2: new policy to allow them to come back in here.

1418
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 2: This is right on our doorstep. We have to deal

1419
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 2: with this. Last question on that is, do you think

1420
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 2: that President Shinbama Mexico, who has said that American soldiers

1421
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 2: on Mexico soil would be a declaration of war, will

1422
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 2: she change that too to ask for the US help

1423
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 2: on this ongoing war that they're dealing with right now.

1424
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 13: Look, I mean it's hard to tell, because I mean, yeah,

1425
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 13: it's hard to tell as it relates to Mexico. But look,

1426
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 13: I mean President Trump has made the offer multiple times

1427
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 13: to assist the Mexican government with these cartels, whether that's

1428
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 13: putting American boots on the ground or with drones, shrine.

1429
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 13: But clearly, as a you know, we saw play out

1430
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 13: for the last couple of days, they're not super capable

1431
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 13: of handling themselves, or at least not right away. Maybe

1432
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 13: they'll bounce back, but uh, I bower her, I would.

1433
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 17: Take the help.

1434
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 2: I would too, that would be nice. Yeah, we got

1435
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes left her Josh Shill shifs Gears

1436
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: talk about midterm elections for the year, As you mentioned,

1437
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: looking at Republicans on how they're positioning themselves. Right now,

1438
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 2: Congress needs to act, They need to get on board

1439
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: with some legislation. But right now, early poll numbers show

1440
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 2: and early speculation and the bidding odds show that Republicans

1441
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: keep the Senate, they widen their margin for the number

1442
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 2: of governorships that we have across the nation, but lose

1443
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: the House. Is that a concern And with the RNC

1444
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: that's like shattering records with almost two hundred million dollars

1445
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 2: in their war chest right now? Is that something that

1446
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 2: we need to be concerned about, And what's your outlook

1447
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 2: for the midterms?

1448
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 13: Look, I mean midterms as it relates to the House specifically.

1449
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 13: It is something we need to be concerned about because, look,

1450
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 13: Democrat voters are motivated because they want to This is

1451
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 13: their first chance, nationally speaking, to respond to the Trump

1452
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 13: administration and voice their frustrations. Again not saying I agree

1453
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 13: with them, but that's what's going to drive into the polls.

1454
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 13: So Republicans do need to be concerned about the House,

1455
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 13: and if Democrats are also stacking the deck in all

1456
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 13: of states. If you look up Virginia, for example, my

1457
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 13: home state. The Virginia Democrat General Assembly and the Virginia

1458
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 13: Democrat Governor Abigail Spamberger, who's given the response to President

1459
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 13: Trump tonight, just redrew our congressional maps to go to

1460
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 13: a referendum from taking from having five Republican seats in

1461
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 13: the state down to one. So look, I mean, if

1462
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 13: they passed that, it's already almost impossible at tasks they

1463
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 13: speak the House, and that's sometimes should be garnering more

1464
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 13: national attention and hopefully maybe the President mentions it tonight.

1465
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned that it's going to be a bloodbath.

1466
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Texas was a redrawing because it was a

1467
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 2: better representation based on those voter outcomes in the last

1468
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 2: presidential election. California didn't like that there redrawings like you

1469
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 2: mentioned Virginia. I mean, this is going to be a mess,

1470
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 2: and now we have other states that just don't want

1471
01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 2: to do I'm from Kansas. If we didn't want to

1472
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: reach our lines, even though it it'll only help with

1473
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 2: one seat, but it made sense to do so. And

1474
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 2: now we're in this battle of jerrymandering and it's only

1475
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: gonna benefit Democrats. Why because it's benefited them for every

1476
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 2: time that they've drawn lines, because they really really enjoy

1477
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 2: their jerrymandering. Josh, last question for you, and I appreciate

1478
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 2: your time. The biggest question of the day is for

1479
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 2: the State of the Union tonight after the announcement from

1480
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 2: the end of last week, will Donald Trump use the

1481
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 2: State of the Union as an opportunity to disclose extra

1482
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 2: terrestrial life?

1483
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 13: I will take the under on that by.

1484
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: I am hoping for I'm the eternal optimist and I'm

1485
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: ready for the announcement going on tonight. Josh Jones, you

1486

Speaker 2: can find him on the tweet. You can find all

1487

1491
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile Newsmaker hotline. Great conversation and what we could

1492
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 2: look out for with the pregame show here of the

Speaker 2: Let's jump right to the calls here, shall we. Let's

1501
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: go to John listening on the great flagship of Todd

1503
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 14: How you doing? I just listened to your guest speaker,

1504
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 14: I mean your guest just a few minutes ago. I'll

1505
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 14: make this real short and sweet. I'm a conservative. I've

1506
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 14: been voting Republicans since I was in the army many

1507
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 14: many moons ago, you know, like one hundred years ago,

1508
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 14: when he's black powdered rifles. Kidding with that one, but

1509
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 14: I love it. I'm losing I hope you're call your

1510
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 14: guests listening. I am losing faith in Republican Party, my

1511
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 14: local Republican Party headquarters. You will not return my calls.

1512
01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 14: My Republican congressional representative, return my calls on our emails.

1513
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 14: Rand Paul forget. If he doesn't agree with you, he'll

1514
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 14: block you. And Mitch McConnell, weell, you know, let's just

1515
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 14: say he's a Mitch. Okay. But the problem is is

1516
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 14: I can see why so many conservative voters. The only

1517
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,560
Speaker 14: one that is doing anything, trying to do anything for

1518
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 14: our country foreign policy wise and domestic policy wise is

1519
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 14: that guy at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue in our military,

1520
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 14: That gentleman is at the Pentagon on the War Department.

1521
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 14: A lot of these Republicans, to me are excuse me

1522
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 14: for saying this, are so full of crap. They can't

1523
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 14: see the brown through the forest because they're so full

1524
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 14: of it. They'll make all these promises and then when

1525
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 14: they say, if you have a problem, call me or

1526
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 14: reach out to me, they're not going to do it.

1527
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 14: They don't care. They really sincerely don't care. The only

1528
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 14: thing we can do as Americans is keep on hitting

1529
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 14: them with as many emails. But then when you get

1530
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 14: they get, they bother them. They just won't respond to you.

1531
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 14: And to me as a veteran, my wife's a Marine

1532
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 14: Corps veteran. She runs the house by a way. I

1533
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 14: just want to let you know that because she's a marine.

1534
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 14: But you know, we're coming up on two hundred and

1535
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 14: fifty years, when in the h double tooth picks are

1536
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 14: these politicians going to start understanding we're the ones that

1537
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 14: put him there. And that's why the Republicans lose the

1538
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 14: House because they're not doing their jobs. They're not and

1539
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 14: Donald Trump can do all he wants.

1540
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 13: He can.

1541
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 14: He's done everything humanly possible, even superhumanly possible, and yet

1542
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 14: these Republicans will not, you know, codify the Say Act.

1543
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 14: They will not do anything because they're a bunch of

1544
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 14: freaking cowards. And I'm calling their honor into questions. So

1545
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 14: excuse me for saying that, but that's the truth. But

1546
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 14: I'll still vote conservative. Heck, if you ran for office,

1547
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 14: I'd vote for you three times the Chicago way. And

1548
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 14: I don't even live in your state.

1549
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 2: We look, John, I I get it. There's a lot

1550
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: of frustration because you're right. When we saw this Trump

1551
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: administration take fold last year, we were so excited. When

1552
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 2: we saw the cabinet come together for Trump with RFK

1553
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 2: Junior and Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth and Cash Betel

1554
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: and all these guys. We got so excited that finally

1555
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: the reset button's going to be hit. We're going to

1556
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 2: see a completely different nation. We are going to see

1557
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 2: everything that we've been wanting to be fixed we're going

1558
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: to start seeing it happen. And I will say that

1559
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 2: from that side, from the executive branch, in that cabinet,

1560
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: we're seeing more action and more progress than I think

1561
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 2: any other administration has seen in the last century. We've

1562
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 2: seen one hundred years of action under one year of

1563
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,759
Speaker 2: a Trump administration. But you're right, none of it matters

1564
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 2: unless we codify it in Congress. And right now we

1565
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 2: still have a lot of people scared their own shadow.

1566
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 2: And we've gotten better, but we still have a long

1567
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: ways to go here, right.

1568
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 14: And the other thing is these representatives. First of all,

1569
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 14: you hire practically trained and well armored armed security, they

1570
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 14: will not hold town hall meetings. And again they are

1571
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 14: cowards and they have to me. It's almost like Toma

1572
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 14: Stonewall Jackson said, you know he's Confederate, but he said,

1573
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 14: you have scally wags and carpetbaggers. And that's exactly what

1574
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 14: they're acting like. And great showing. And again I'm sorry,

1575
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,759
Speaker 14: thanks for letting me vent my spleen.

1576
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 2: God bless you, well, God bless you, my friend. Thank

1577
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 2: you for your service, and thank you for what you've done.

1578
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 2: Yet you know, I feel the passion. I get it.

1579
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 2: And you know what, that's where we step in to

1580
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 2: try and do what we can to fix it. Look,

1581
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know on Todd Show, but

1582
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 2: just I'm in my I guess second year is the

1583
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 2: vice chair for the state Republican Party in Kansas. Why.

1584
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: I've never been in any quote unquote elected office, nor

1585
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 2: have I really had any desire to do so. But

1586
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 2: if there's a chance to change the party from inside,

1587
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,919
Speaker 2: that's what we have to do. And along with berating

1588
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 2: and holding our elected officials accountable, changing that system internally

1589
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: is all we can do because, like you said, if

1590
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 2: we don't, it will never get fixed. We'll never be

1591
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 2: able to do anything else. And there's no other place

1592
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 2: for us to go. We can't vote third party. That's

1593
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 2: not gonna do anything. It's not gonna fix anything. You

1594
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 2: can't walk away. We got to keep that at my friends, So, John,

1595
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 2: thank you for the call, thank you for the passion.

1596
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,560
Speaker 2: Appreciate it very much. Yeah, let's just keep on it.

1597
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 2: Hold these people accountable, put the pressure on them, make

1598
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 2: them get the job done, or we're going to be

1599
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: in a way worse situation. Lots more coming up, staying here.

1600
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1601
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1602
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 17: That's that's.

1603
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 2: American. Todd starts Bay.

1616
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 3: addressed tonight in Washington. Ladies and gentlemen, Andy Hoosier, oh.

1617
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 2: Man, what an introduction that is. Tom, Thank you so

1618
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 2: much for that, and thank you for allowing us to

1619
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 2: sit in this seat, moving that Liberty University Studios out

1620
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 2: here to Wich Talk Kansas, my flagship station, the Big

1621
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 2: Talker KQAM and a great, great affiliate of the Todd

1622
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 2: Starnes Radio program. We love doing it and what a

1623
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: day to do it as well. The two one hundred

1624
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday of this nation this year and the

1625
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,879
Speaker 2: State of the Union address to address the most patriot

1626
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 2: stayed the Union at least of our lifetime. I think

1627
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 2: that we can have the two hundred and fifty. Well,

1628
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 2: I take that back. I guess fifty years ago people

1629
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 2: could have said we got the two hundred, so I

1630
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: guess that's cool. But this is the two hundred and

1631
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday of this nation, and I cannot imagine the

1632
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 2: kind of patriotism that we're expected to see at that

1633
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 2: State of the Union tonight. Caroline Levitt, she said that

1634
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 2: that's what we get to expect as well, and I

1635
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 2: cannot wait for them.

1636
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 4: This is going to share the stories of great American

1637
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 4: heroes who exemplify bravery and the spirit of seventeen seventy six.

1638
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 4: And the President is of course going to tout his

1639
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 4: administration's record setting accomplishments over the past year, while laying

1640
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 4: out an ambitious agenda to continue making the American dream

1641
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,799
Speaker 4: more attainable and affordable for working class people across the country.

1642
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 4: It's going to be a great speech. There will be

1643
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 4: some tear jerking moments as there was last year, in

1644
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 4: addition to some moments of levity, and so we hope

1645
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 4: everybody will tune in.

1646
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for that one, and it'll be a

1647
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 2: fun one. What kind of tear jerking moments could we

1648
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 2: expect to hear from President Trump tonight? I want to

1649
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 2: hear from you at nine oh one two six zero

1650
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 2: five to nine two six, nine zero one two six

1651
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,560
Speaker 2: zero five to nine two six. We'll do some speculation.

1652
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 2: We've kind of set our bingo card throughout the program

1653
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,560
Speaker 2: today on the drinking game of a doun't beverage of

1654
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 2: choice or your sweet tea that you can enjoy for

1655
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 2: your shots tonight during the State of the Union address,

1656
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 2: And we'll get to some of that in just a

1657
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 2: little bit before we do, though. I want to shift

1658
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 2: gears though, and I got to give a shout outs

1659
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 2: and our thoughts out to everybody on the East Coast.

1660
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 2: With the dumping of the snow that we've seen out there.

1661
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 2: I was out aware and Dylan did you know this.

1662
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 2: I was not aware of the number one reason for

1663
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: a heart attacks in the nation is apparently people shoveling snow.

1664
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 15: Oh.

1665
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 5: Yes, I recently figured that out. My wife told me,

1666
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 5: and that was really I did not know that.

1667
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either until this now. According to

1668
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 2: some reporters there in New York City, seventeen inches of snow.

1669
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 2: I've dropped, and I get it. It's the East Coast.

1670
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 2: I grew up originally in Ohio. I'm in Kansas now,

1671
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 2: but I grew up in Ohio. Originally. I was near

1672
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 2: the Toledo, Ohio northwest corner of the States. I was

1673
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 2: right by Lake Erie, so we had that lake effect.

1674
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 2: So the snow was very wet, it was very heavy.

1675
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 2: It was a ridiculous pain in the butt to try

1676
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 2: and shovel. So I get it. I get that, But

1677
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 2: I was not aware that shoveling snow was the number

1678
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 2: one reason for heart attacks. That kind of blew my

1679
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:18,440
Speaker 2: mind when I heard that stat.

1680
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I guess, you know, you put the pressure

1681
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 5: of that initial like force into it when you're like

1682
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 5: going into it. I yeah, but why, okay?

1683
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 2: Can I be frank though? Though? Is that a sign

1684
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 2: of how weak we are as a society. That might

1685
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 2: be just throwing it out there. I mean, look, if

1686
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 2: you are elderly, if you have a heart debilitating issue, Okay,

1687
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 2: I get it, don't shovel snow. I get that, but

1688
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 2: come on, shoveling snow, not going through the you know,

1689
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 2: the the Marine Corps as a special operations person where

1690
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 2: you're you know, suffering yourself and you're drowning underwater and

1691
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 2: you're lifting logs for like twelve hours a day and

1692
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 2: running fourteen miles. That's not the number one reason for

1693
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 2: a heart attack. Shove is the reason for the number

1694
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 2: one case for heart attacks. I'm sorry, but this probably

1695
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 2: reinforces the idea of why we need the MAHA Make

1696
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 2: America Healthy Again movement with Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Because

1697
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 2: if that's your number one reason on why you potentially

1698
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 2: could get a heart attack, I think we have a

1699
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 2: serious lack of exercise problem in society.

1700
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have to agree. I think it also

1701
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 5: has to do with like it's cold outside, your blood

1702
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 5: vessels are constricting maybe and that force upper body.

1703
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 10: Floor what that though?

1704
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 2: Either man's okay, So people that listen to me and

1705
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 2: I filled in for Todd a few times here and there,

1706
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 2: and I really appreciate that. I enjoy my cold weather.

1707
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 2: I am a cold person. I've said that when Donald

1708
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 2: Trump buys Greenland, I'm gonna be the first one moving

1709
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: up to Greenland. I do the ice plunges in the

1710
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 2: ice bath. I take cold showers every day. I don't

1711
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 2: even turn on the heat at all. I go outside

1712
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 2: in the winter time when it's negative twenty and do

1713
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 2: my meditations and my shorts and my t shirt. I

1714
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 2: enjoy it because it's it gets rid of inflammation in

1715
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: your body. It brings the mental clarity, it gets rid

1716
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 2: of whatever crazy, the wild thoughts that are straining there,

1717
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 2: like it's so good for your body in the cold

1718
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 2: that yeah, you know. I guess if you're not used

1719
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 2: to it, then it's a bit of a shock to

1720
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 2: the system. But come on, man, that's shoveling snow. Shoveling

1721
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 2: snow the reason for heart attacks in the country. We

1722
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 2: have a serious lack of exercise or maybe health issue

1723
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 2: in this nation. I think we need to address that.

1724
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 2: So thank God for Maha and Robert Kennedy Jr. Right now,

1725
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 2: because maybe we should start doing snow shoveling training courses

1726
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 2: or something.

1727
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 5: Or whim Hoff like wim Hoff.

1728
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the wim Hoff, I do, dude, I tell you

1729
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 2: the whim Hoff. The cold therapy and his breath meditation insane. Okay,

1730
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 2: side story, and I promise we'll get back to the

1731
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 2: topic of the day. Do you have you seen his

1732
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 2: breath work that he does on the It's thirty deep

1733
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 2: breaths in and out really fast and then exhaling all

1734
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 2: your breath and holding as long as possible, and then

1735
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 2: in holding it for like fifteen seconds and then doing

1736
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 2: that that's like one round and you do like three

1737
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 2: or four rounds to that.

1738
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I've seen it. I've tried it.

1739
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 2: You've tried it. Okay, I love it. I tried as well.

1740
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,560
Speaker 2: The longest I've been able to hold my breath and

1741
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: like exhaling it all and holding it without three minutes

1742
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 2: and sixteen seconds.

1743
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 5: Wow, that's pretty good. I feel like that's above average.

1744
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 2: That is above average. It took me a long time

1745
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 2: and I started to black out and forgot how to

1746
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 2: breathe when it was time for.

1747
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 5: Me to do so exactly.

1748
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do but yeah, no, but it's actually pretty amazing.

1749
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 2: There you go, the little shout out for Wimhoff. I

1750
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 2: enjoy those breath meditations. I feel really good on those.

1751
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: Speaking of By the way, so at New York seventeen

1752
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 2: inches of snow at least now we have the call

1753
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 2: for emergency snow shovelers in New York City from zon

1754
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 2: mom Donnie, where he had called for them. You get

1755
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 2: paid thirty bucks an hour to shovel snow in the

1756
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 2: commie area of New York City. Now, but in order

1757
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 2: to do so, you have to prove your identification, which

1758
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure is scandalous there to the point where even

1759
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,679
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie yesterday had to come out and clarify why

1760
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 2: you had to present forms of identification.

1761
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 4: He is going to share this.

1762
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Oh, that's not the right one. Let's try that would

1763
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 2: be uh, let's go to this one. Take a look here,

1764
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 2: that's the only the wrong one either. Okay, oh you

1765
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 2: know what here it.

1766
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 18: Is federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation

1767
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 18: to pay people for their work. We are not allowed

1768
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 18: to just cut checks to individuals for their work. This

1769
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 18: is all long standing. This is a long standing program

1770
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 18: and long standing requirements, and this is a way that

1771
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 18: New Yorkers get paid to shovel snow in assistance with

1772
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 18: the city's response to a winter storm event. These are

1773
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 18: the policies that we've had in place, but I understand

1774
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 18: that for many it's the first time that they've ever heard.

1775
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 2: Of all right, So this is more of an explanation

1776
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 2: to his side of the isle of why do we

1777
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 2: have to show an ID because we just want to

1778
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 2: get paid. So I love his excuse as well. It's

1779
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 2: a federal program in order to have emergency snow shovelers

1780
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,560
Speaker 2: in New York City. Now, I want to preface this

1781
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 2: by saying, this is the guy that has now presented

1782
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 2: a citywide budget that is ten billion dollars above the

1783
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 2: entire state budget for the state of Florida. I know

1784
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: that Todd's talked about this, but at the same time,

1785
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 2: while we're increasing it ten billion dollars above an entire

1786
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 2: budget for a whole state of Florida with the third

1787
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 2: of the population, he's cutting more than five thousand NYPD officers.

1788
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 2: He's investing in I say, investing loosey goosey here for

1789
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 2: the radio listeners. He's investing in a lot of DEI

1790
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 2: initiatives and hiring a whole bunch of DEI protocol for

1791
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 2: the city of New York City, but now we don't

1792
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,560
Speaker 2: apparently pick up trash. We had a whole bunch of

1793
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 2: people in the last round of the snowstorm that have

1794
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 2: had their power cut off, their gas cut off, people

1795
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 2: dying because they didn't have any warmth and any fashion,

1796
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 2: and now they're so desperate for basic functioning governmental issues,

1797
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 2: you got to hire emergency snow shovelers at thirty bucks

1798
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 2: an hour for them to present their IDs. I find

1799
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe it's just me. I find that

1800
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 2: kind of ironic. I think that's kind of funny. Well,

1801
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 2: you got to show your ID in order to do this,

1802
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 2: and the fact that they can't do it themselves because

1803
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 2: government is in such disarray with a budget that you

1804
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: would think you'd have plenty of government workers in order

1805
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 2: to shovel snow, you can't do that now. But now

1806
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 2: the Save Act is being looked at in kind of

1807
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 2: hush from the other side of the aisle, because if

1808
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 2: you have to show forms of identification does shovel snow,

1809
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: then you probably need it just for basic voter idea

1810
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,600
Speaker 2: as well. And even though he says, federal law requires

1811
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: federal law. Federal well, the federal government. If you want

1812
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 2: to go to the Constitution, the Constitution gives two stipulations

1813
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 2: for you to be able to vote, and that is

1814
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 2: a US citizen and you abide by the jurisdiction thereof,

1815
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 2: meaning you follow the rules of the country. And if

1816
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 2: you do those two things, then you have the right

1817
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: to vote in this nation. Because now you just have

1818
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 2: to prove it. You're not in jail, so you kind

1819
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 2: of prove the fact that you're following the jurisdiction thereof,

1820
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,839
Speaker 2: and you have to prove that you are a US citizen.

1821
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 2: That's not really that complicated of a matter. And I

1822
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 2: don't know if it's intentionally being dent or if they

1823
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 2: truly just don't have that aha light bulb moment popping on.

1824
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 2: Is Bernie Sanders is on a podcast and said this,

1825
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,679
Speaker 2: some geniuses think that before you can maybe have it wrong.

1826
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, registered to vote, you need a passport or your

1827
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: or your burst cificate.

1828
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 13: Do you have your Do you have a past forty

1829
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 13: birth certificate at the moment?

1830
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:06,560
Speaker 15: Do you? I do?

1831
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 2: I have millions of people don't. God knows how I

1832
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: get I don't know how.

1833
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 16: To do it.

1834
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 2: I don't really know how to get it. You're an

1835
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 2: elected official, bro. Now again, this is either being intentionally

1836
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 2: dent and dumb, or you're just doing it to try

1837
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 2: and prove a point, which kind of got shot down

1838
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 2: when the lady female that's interviewing you right now it says, yeah,

1839
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 2: I actually have my birth certificate. Well, a load of

1840
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 2: people don't. Load of people don't know how to even

1841
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 2: get it. You're an elected official, bro. You go to

1842
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 2: the courts and you go to, Hey, this is the

1843
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 2: place where I was born, this is the county I

1844
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 2: was born. I'm going to go to the courthouse. They

1845
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 2: have a digitized Hey, can I get a birth certificate? Please?

1846
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 2: It's really not that difficult. Dylan, do you think they're

1847
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 2: being intentionally dent here or is this trying to prove

1848
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 2: a political point?

1849
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, I think they're I think they really just

1850
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 5: do not get it. I think they're being intentional about

1851
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 5: this because most people, if you look at them, it's

1852
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 5: pretty obvious how to get these things. It's not as

1853
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 5: hard as they say it is hard. I think they're

1854
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 5: just trying to prove a point or something. It's not

1855
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 5: really working except you know, on my side, it's not

1856
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 5: really working. It's not landing as hard.

1857
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. They're trying desperately. Now, remember when we

1858
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 2: brought up voter ide laws years ago and I want

1859
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 2: to say five, ten years ago, whatever it was, and

1860
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 2: we brought up the idea of voter ide laws. They

1861
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 2: were very open about their policy here, which was the

1862
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 2: minority communities that poll people and black people were just

1863
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 2: too poor and too stupid to know how to get

1864
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 2: an ID. And now they've expanded out, apparently to women,

1865
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 2: because women are too poor and too stupid to figure

1866
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 2: out where to get your birth certificate. And the documentation

1867
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 2: that you have to prove that you actually changed your

1868
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 2: name throughout marriages or divorces or anything else like that,

1869
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 2: apparently is something that we don't do in society when

1870
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 2: we purchase a vehicle, we apply for a credit card,

1871
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 2: we put we put our name on a mortgage, we

1872
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,560
Speaker 2: do anything else in society. When we prove that this

1873
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:51,840
Speaker 2: was my name before, this is my name now, and

1874
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 2: I prove that based on this documentation, Apparently, when it

1875
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 2: comes to voting, we're too poor and too stupid to

1876
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 2: figure it out. And that's what the that's literally the

1877
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 2: argument of the Democrat Party. They're just trying to say

1878
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 2: in a little more laxidated way of we don't know

1879
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 2: who to get her birth certificate. Come on, man, I'm

1880
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,639
Speaker 2: telling you Donald Trump during the State of the Union tonight,

1881
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 2: I really hope he brings up the Save Act. He's

1882
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 2: got to mention this and push it out and call

1883
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: on Democrats and call him out for it, because right

1884
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 2: now Democrats are saying the most derogatory, ridiculous comments about

1885
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 2: people not being able to keep their identification proper and

1886
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: their forms of documents to prove who they are who

1887
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 2: they are, when the vast majority of every demographic men, women,

1888
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 2: white people, Hispanic people, black people, Republican people, Democrat people,

1889
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 2: everybody overwhelmingly says they support the idea of voter IDs.

1890
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 2: This according to even the latest report from CNN.

1891
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,720
Speaker 8: Take a look here, favorite photo IDETA vote eighty five

1892
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 8: percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino

1893
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 8: seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So the bottom

1894
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 8: line is this voter ID is not controversial in this country.

1895
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 8: A photo idea vote is not controversial in this country.

1896
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 8: It is not controversial by party, and it is not

1897
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 8: controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with

1898
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 8: Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo

1899
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:09,519
Speaker 8: ID to be able to vote.

1900
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why they bring up Nicki Minaj Dylan.

1901
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:16,879
Speaker 2: When did Nicki Minaj become the beacon of iconic policy

1902
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 2: making in the country.

1903
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 5: It feels like recently, like not that long ago. But

1904
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 5: I'm all for it. It's kind of funny.

1905
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 2: Between Nicki Minaj and who is the other guy beforehand

1906
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 2: that just kind of went off the rails. I mean,

1907
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 2: that's we look at these weird rappers and celebrities that apparently.

1908
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 5: Are now Kanye Yeah, can I's say Kanye West?

1909
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy that was, you know, the greatest supporter

1910
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump and then he went off as and

1911
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 2: his weird tangent. Now he's apologizing for stuff like we're

1912
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: just we live in a strange timeline right now. And

1913
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with that one. But this shows how

1914
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 2: out of touch Democrats are, not only for the state

1915
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 2: of the Union tonight, but also for the midterm season

1916
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 2: going into twenty twenty six. We're speculated to lose to

1917
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 2: Democrats in the House of Representatives. When Democrats don't want

1918
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 2: to pass voter ID law, and seventy eight percent of

1919
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 2: Democrat voters in this country support it. Ninety five percent

1920
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 2: of Republicans support its Along with these demographics of even

1921
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 2: the identity politics, eighty five percent of whites, eighty two

1922
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 2: percent of Hispanics, seventy six percent of black individuals support

1923
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 2: the idea of voter ID and they're calling it Jim

1924
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 2: Currow laws two point zero. Donald Trump's got to call

1925
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 2: that out tonight. He's got to call out that in

1926
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:23,439
Speaker 2: the State of the Union, and I hope he does

1927
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 2: because they are so out of touch with reality. It's

1928
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 2: kind of funny, but it would be more funny if

1929
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 2: they weren't actually in charge holding things up in Washington,

1930

1965
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 2: again this is kind of the pre show of twenty

1966
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty six, more Democrats are speaking out there as a

1967
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 2: press conference held just a little while ago by Democrats,

1968
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 2: some of them advocating to not show up at all.

1969
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 2: The question is what is better? Would you rather as

1970
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,480
Speaker 2: the game we're gonna play, would you rather see Democrats

1971
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 2: show up in protest or not show up at all?

1972
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:38,599
Speaker 2: Some Democrats say that, well, they don't like Donald Trump,

1973
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 2: but they'll show up anyways.

1974
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 17: Just in with this, I would rather stick forks in

1975
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 17: my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald

1976
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 17: Trump talk about the State of the Union. But this

1977
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 17: is the people's house and I will not abandon the

1978
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 17: people's house.

1979
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:55,560
Speaker 2: Wow she'd rather stick fork in her eyes, Dylan, I

1980
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 2: didn't know that listening to Donald Trump would make you

1981
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 2: want to stick fork in your eyes. That's like a

1982
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 2: whole lot of sense to it. Yeah, no, you heard that.

1983
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 2: You heard that right now. We have heard over the

1984
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,759
Speaker 2: it's the last hour or so that Alexandria Okazio Cortez,

1985
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 2: according to her people, her spokesperson, I didn't know she

1986
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 2: had a spokesperson. A little bit more hoity toity than

1987
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 2: what we had thought, thank you AOC. But now, well,

1988
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 2: she's on the global stage. Now, she's running for president

1989
01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight, so of course she's going to

1990
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 2: have her people. But her spokesperson has said that she

1991
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 2: will not be attending the State of the Union address.

1992
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 2: There is a My People's rally that apparently is going

1993
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 2: to be going on as an alternative programming during the

1994
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:35,680
Speaker 2: State of the Union. But other Democrats like this say

1995
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 2: it's their due diligence to show up and represent their constituents.

1996
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 2: I will at least commend them for that. We'll see

1997
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 2: what type of silent protest they'll have going on. All right,

1998
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 2: lots more coming up for the speculation tonight right here

1999
01:34:45,880 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 2: on the Tom Starnes Radio program. Stay hear all right,

2000
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 2: welcome back to it Tat Sarn's Radio program, and Andy,

2001
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 2: who you're sitting in on the home stretch here is

2002
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 2: we have a lot to speculate on for the State

2003
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 2: of the Union tonight. The bingo cards are set and

2004
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 2: the sweet tea shots are ready, and well, that's some

2005
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 2: fun with what we could expect from the State of

2006
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,560
Speaker 2: the Union tonight, calling out the Supreme Court, calling out Republicans,

2007
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:24,560
Speaker 2: and the protests going on from the Democrats where some

2008
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 2: say they won't even show up because they're going to

2009
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:30,679
Speaker 2: hold alternative programming from the President of the United States

2010
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 2: because apparently they just they hate him that much, so

2011
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 2: they're going to be that divisive on one of the

2012
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 2: most patriotic State of the Union addresses in the two

2013
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth birthday of this nation. Others say, well,

2014
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 2: I'd hate it, but I'm still going to show up.

2015
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,719
Speaker 17: I'm just in with this. I would rather stick forks

2016
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 17: in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to

2017
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:52,600
Speaker 17: Donald Trump talk about the State of the Union. But

2018
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 17: this is the people's House and I will not abandon

2019
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 17: the people's House.

2020
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, as long as you stick forks in your eyes,

2021
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,839
Speaker 2: and that would really stop you from listening to President

2022
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, because that makes us, that makes all the

2023
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 2: sense of the world. That shows right there the IQ

2024
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 2: level of the Democrat Party. All right, nine oh one

2025
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 2: two six zero five, nine twenty six. Let's get your thoughts.

2026
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 2: What can you expect tonight on the estate of the Union.

2027
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 2: And let's go to Murph listening there in Germantown and

2028
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 2: the big k WWHAM affiliate there, Murph, what's going on,

2029
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 2: my friend?

2030
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 16: Yes, sir, thank you for taking this CALLOT thought you

2031
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 16: might find this interesting. This is a reflection on the

2032
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:37,640
Speaker 16: current political situation in America. And I quote reformers, some

2033
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:43,280
Speaker 16: men of very great gifts, great wealth, whose energies are

2034
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 16: now directed in the United States to no less a

2035
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:55,560
Speaker 16: task than the destruction, uh destruction or bodily capture of

2036
01:36:55,680 --> 01:37:01,680
Speaker 16: the Democratic Party and the installation and it's placed of

2037
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 16: a thorough and unshrinking socialist organization. That's Winston Churchill nineteen

2038
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 16: o nine.

2039
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 2: I like that, and boy, boy, are those words truer

2040
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: now than ever before, because the socialist movement is not

2041
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 2: shrinking in any fashion. Now they've essentially hijacked the entire

2042
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:24,799
Speaker 2: Democrat Party.

2043
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 16: Yes, sir. And on the other side of that coin,

2044
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 16: your previous caller in his observation about our Republicans, he

2045
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 16: hits the nail on the head. Whenever there's a crucial

2046
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 16: issue or a vote, there's always a handful. It seems

2047
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 16: it likes to run scared, whereas the loyal opposition, who's

2048
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 16: now the minority, they vote A, B and C no

2049
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:57,560
Speaker 16: matter what, and it just it's it's astounding. And this

2050
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 16: pure young lady that was talking about poking forks in

2051
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 16: her eyes, I don't know how she can look in

2052
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:07,160
Speaker 16: the mirror after the the voters of the United States

2053
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 16: voted in the first and second worst presidents in the

2054
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 16: history of this country, and that was former President Obama

2055
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 16: and his protege, former President Biden.

2056
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know how she can look herself in

2057
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 2: the mirror at all after she pokes forks in her eyes.

2058
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 2: I mean, well, but you take care, hey, appreciate it, MERV.

2059
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Yeah. No, Look, look, it's a

2060
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 2: great point. And here's the thing. We pride ourselves as

2061
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 2: Republicans for being wicked, wild independent thinkers, right, so when

2062
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 2: people have different opinions, then we don't necessarily get mad

2063
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 2: at them because we want people to have their own

2064
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:46,600
Speaker 2: individual thought. We want people to have individual ideas in

2065
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:48,720
Speaker 2: the party. We don't want the lock set. Because you're right,

2066
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 2: the Democrats and because of the mindset of socialism on

2067
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 2: the road to communism, they're authoritarianism that everybody should believe

2068
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 2: the same. They're the wicked, wild independent freedom thinkers and

2069
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 2: accept everyone and tolerate everyone unaccept as long as you

2070
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 2: don't disagree with them in some fashion. Then they have

2071
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 2: their marching orders. They get the and I told you before,

2072
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean the DNC, the mainstream media, they have their

2073
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 2: talking points and it's verbatim. I mean, it's sad how

2074
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 2: bad it is when they start talking because when they

2075
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,720
Speaker 2: get a talking point, everybody says the exact same thing.

2076
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 2: It's the same trigger word, it's the exact same phrase.

2077
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,599
Speaker 2: And the worst one out of it, to be honest,

2078
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 2: is Adam Schiff, that new senator out of California that

2079
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:28,439
Speaker 2: was the House member that led the impeachment of Trump

2080
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 2: back in the first term. Now he's the senator out

2081
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 2: there California. You gotta do better, man, I know. Right now,

2082
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 2: Poles showed that there's actually a Republican that could be

2083
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 2: potentially leading the governor's race. That's kind of exciting, but

2084
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 2: you gotta do better. You realize how crazy that place is.

2085
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 2: Adam Schiff is now the epitome of the pump it

2086
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 2: for the DNC and for the mainstream media. Watch his

2087
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 2: videos because whatever the flavor talking point of the day

2088
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 2: is like, he doesn't even change it. He doesn't make

2089
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,679
Speaker 2: it his own, he doesn't make it unique. He literally

2090
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 2: just regurgitates it word for word, and he thinks that

2091
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 2: people are just gonna go along and bide with it.

2092
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 2: So they are. They are very much in lockstep.

2093
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 12: Now.

2094
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 2: I will say that we're starting to see that civil war.

2095
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,759
Speaker 2: We're starting to see that riff in the party because

2096
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 2: right now there are ones that are pulling it further

2097
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 2: and further and further to the left. You got pretty

2098
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:17,639
Speaker 2: much a three way split right now the Democrat Party.

2099
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 2: You got the old guard, the Chuck Schumer's, the Nancy Pelosis,

2100
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 2: the Joe Biden's, those that are, yeah, we're socialists, we're

2101
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,800
Speaker 2: gonna do things scenes that way. But we still talk

2102
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:30,560
Speaker 2: about patriotism, we still talk about being relatable to the constituency.

2103
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 2: You know, you got Chuck Schumer out there a couple

2104
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 2: of years ago for the Fourth of July taking the

2105
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 2: selfie when he has the piece of cheese on the

2106
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 2: raw burger patty on the grill, I cook burgers just

2107
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 2: like you, h like. They really try and they do

2108
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,560
Speaker 2: what they can to be relatable even though they're not.

2109
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 2: But they try to say they're generally moving in the

2110
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 2: same direction as America, while behind the scenes they do

2111
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 2: a lot of social policies. The new form of Democrats,

2112
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 2: which is the aocs, the elon Omars, the whatever the

2113
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 2: radical be squad that's out there, they're opuickly saying it's like, yeah, no,

2114
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna be socialists. Like we're not even trying to

2115
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 2: hide it. We're just gonna be socialist. That's just the

2116
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 2: way that we are and that's the way that we're

2117
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 2: gonna move. So now there's this tear of the Democrats,

2118
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 2: and that's why they've been so inconsistent. That's why they

2119
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 2: had to take loans out for the DNC just to

2120
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 2: run the last election, is because they don't have an

2121
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 2: identity right now, and they try really really hard. They

2122
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 2: did the affordability talking point that dropped off really quickly

2123
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 2: because they realized you can't talk about affordability when Joe

2124
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:32,480
Speaker 2: Biden increased inflation thirty percent over a four year period cumulatively.

2125
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way, So they kind of drop

2126
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 2: that one. They're focused on social programs, focusing on social

2127
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 2: issues in general, and that's not very popular, but that's

2128
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 2: what they're doing right now. And even other candidates like

2129
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome do you want to be President of twenty

2130
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:48,560
Speaker 2: twenty eight as well, is out there saying that we

2131
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 2: got to do something different.

2132
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 15: No doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be Dare

2133
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 15: I say more culturally normal? I believe that less prone

2134
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 15: to spending disproportionate amount of time on Corona's identity politics,

2135
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 15: more focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter to

2136
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 15: stacking distress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare

2137
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 15: costs and health care and obviously housing costs, and how

2138
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,599
Speaker 15: easily we get trapped in that, how I've fallen prey

2139
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 15: to that. I mean here, I was way out front

2140
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 15: on marriage quad. So I understand this from bolting the

2141
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 15: receiving end of this.

2142
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:27,000
Speaker 2: All right, So, yeah, Kevin Newsom, he's trying to sound relatable.

2143
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:28,760
Speaker 2: He's trying to sound middle of the road. He's really not,

2144
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,240
Speaker 2: but that's, you know, that's his approach, and it's honestly

2145
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 2: a smart approach by trying to stay middle of the road.

2146
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 2: He's not, but the rhetoric for a campaign, that's what

2147
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 2: he's trying to do, and he's doing a good job

2148
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 2: of that, at least, trying to reach out to people

2149
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 2: that don't pay attention to anything, that care more about

2150
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,640
Speaker 2: what Kim Kardashian's doing on the tweety or something. I

2151
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 2: don't know that people that care more about drama and

2152
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 2: reality TV than actually focus on on policy and what

2153
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 2: the records of these people are. He's got the swave

2154
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 2: hair and then he talked about yeah, yeah, we gotta

2155
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 2: change policy. So they're in a civil war right now.

2156
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,720
Speaker 2: But overall, Murphy, you are right like they are in

2157
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 2: lockstep and they really just vote down the line. Now

2158
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:08,200
Speaker 2: for Republicans, we don't and we don't always, and that's

2159
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 2: good and bad because we don't take marching orders because

2160
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 2: we don't want to have marching orders. We don't do that.

2161
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 2: We're not the authoritarians. We like independent thought, we like

2162
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 2: people having their own opinions. That being said, at the

2163
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 2: same time, if you're going to represent a Republican party,

2164
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 2: you should probably abide by Republican values, Like there's actually

2165
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 2: a Republican platform, and the RNC has it where every

2166
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,560
Speaker 2: year every couple of years when we do the reorgs,

2167
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:39,879
Speaker 2: then you vote for leadership of the Republican National Committee

2168
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 2: and the RNC and the chair of the RNC and

2169
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 2: what the party is going to stand for at the

2170
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 2: national level, and your state parties, your state Republican parties

2171
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 2: have reorgs every couple of years as well, and at

2172
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,560
Speaker 2: those same times, and you vote on a platform for

2173
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 2: the party. We stand for this, we stand for this,

2174
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:58,639
Speaker 2: we oppose this, which means if you're an elected official

2175
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 2: representing the party, you should more than likely so we

2176
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 2: shouldn't have to browbeat you to vote for something. It

2177
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 2: should be kind of common sense. Save Act and voter

2178
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 2: ID should be common sense. Why would we oppose that

2179
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 2: The Constitution says that you have to be a US

2180
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 2: citizen before it's let the states kind of mandate how

2181
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 2: you're going to validate and actually prove that one stipulation

2182
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 2: in order for you to vote. Many states have gone

2183
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 2: as far as actually voting on policy to force people

2184
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 2: not to show an ID when they register to vote.

2185
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 2: That's kind of a problem because we need to make sure.

2186
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 2: So federal government's got to stand up and say, hey,

2187
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 2: this is the one stipulation the Constitution says I'm voting,

2188
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 2: so therefore you have to vote on it. So we

2189
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 2: got to get these Republicans on board. Now again, I

2190
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 2: get it, there's different variants. The head of the RNC

2191
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 2: actually made an interesting comment that you know, you're never

2192
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 2: going to get a Ted Cruz elected in Maine, and

2193
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:50,559
Speaker 2: you're never going to get a Susan Collins elected in Texas.

2194
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 2: Understand that. Totally get it. And during purple districts, when

2195
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 2: it's a battle every year on whether it's going to

2196
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,080
Speaker 2: be a Republican or a Democrat, and these really toss

2197
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,759
Speaker 2: up seats out there, I would rather have a Republican

2198
01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 2: that votes sixty percent with me instead of one hundred percent.

2199
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,879
Speaker 2: Totally understand that. At the same time, the basic principles,

2200
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 2: and Todd talks about it on his program here and

2201
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 2: I mentioned it quite a bit that to me, at least,

2202
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 2: there's three pillars of conservatism. The right to life, the

2203
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 2: right to liberty, and the right to private property. Period.

2204
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 2: Those are our principles. Every issue, every flavor of the

2205
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 2: day can be related down to those three issues. Does

2206
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 2: it violate someone's right to life and allows you to

2207
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 2: harm someone, Okay, then I'm not going to support it.

2208
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 2: Abortion issues, We're not going to support those issues because

2209
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 2: it violates that right to life, the right for liberty.

2210
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 2: Can you go about your business and do your thing

2211
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 2: in society without the government oppressing you in some fashion.

2212
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 2: If it does that, I'm going to oppose it. And

2213
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:44,120
Speaker 2: the right to private property, and I don't just mean

2214
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:47,839
Speaker 2: physical property like your home, I mean your intellectual property.

2215
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 2: I mean the property that when you create something as

2216
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 2: a business, that is your property. And if we infringe

2217
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 2: upon that with excessive tax, taxing, if we infringe upon

2218
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 2: that by the collective or the general wealth, fair all

2219
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:02,679
Speaker 2: this other garbage. The other side says, what does zorn

2220
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 2: mom Donnie say, the warmth of collectivism? If that violates

2221
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:09,519
Speaker 2: my private property, then that's we do not support that

2222
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 2: in any fashion. Like it's very simple. You just got

2223
01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 2: to go back to the basic principles of conservatism, and

2224
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,560
Speaker 2: that's essentially what the Republican Party supports. So yeah, we

2225
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 2: don't stand lock in lockstep. That's good to a degree,

2226
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 2: but they should have they should want to do it

2227
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 2: on their own because that's the right thing to do,

2228
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 2: not for their own personal political agenda. Interesting conversation. Appreciate it.

2229
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't want two six zero five nine two six.

2230
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 2: Let's take a break. We got one segment left here.

2231
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,599
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the State of the Union tonight? Will

2232
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,680
Speaker 2: Donald Trump call on Congress to act more harshly to

2233
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 2: end the filibuster and to pass the Save Act? What

2234
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:44,600
Speaker 2: could that look like? Also with the foreign policy, what

2235
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 2: does that mean for the ongoing civil war with the

2236
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 2: cartels down in Mexico. We want to spend some time

2237
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 2: on that when we come back around the corner for

2238
01:46:51,040 --> 01:47:00,840

2250
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 2: that proves that Hollywood can still tell a great love

2251
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 2: story without the crudeness or the compromise in the content.

2252

01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 2: on here for just a moment in the last few

2270
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:26,439
Speaker 2: minutes that we have. One of the things probably more

2271
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 2: than likely going to be addressed at the State of

2272
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 2: the Union tonight, is of course, the ongoing issue the

2273
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,560
Speaker 2: civil war that we're seeing really down in Mexico with

2274
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 2: the cartels, and if you've been living under a rock

2275
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 2: and don't know what's going on, we've seen one of

2276
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 2: the heads of a cartel along with his son be

2277
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 2: killed by the Mexican government. Now you can speculate on

2278
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 2: why that one and what's going on, but it was

2279
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 2: one of the largest cartels in the nation. The intel

2280
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 2: was provided by US intelligence, and now we see this

2281
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 2: craziness and they're targeting US citizens, They're targeting touristy areas.

2282
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 2: They were shooting up the airport in Guadalajara, like this

2283
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 2: isn't I'm saying to watch some of this lash out

2284
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 2: and it should be a reminder for us of number

2285
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,599
Speaker 2: one why immigration policy and protecting us from this type

2286
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:11,200
Speaker 2: of behavior is so important here in the United States

2287
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 2: because it is our neighbor. It is just south of

2288
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 2: us here. But also on the Second Amendment issue, right,

2289
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we wouldn't be allowed to allow cartels to

2290
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 2: run rampant that way because we have firearms. If the

2291
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 2: citizens of Mexico actually had firearms, they'd be able to

2292
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 2: actually protect themselves. Because right now, the Mexican cartels have

2293
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 2: military grade weapons, armored vehicles, quote unquote, assault rifles. I mean,

2294
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 2: they are just as armored up as what the actual

2295
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 2: military is in the nation of Mexico. And it's been

2296
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:42,600
Speaker 2: going on for a very long time. But imagine this,

2297
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 2: and this goes into the speech for President Donald Trump

2298
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 2: tonight as he talks about the two hundred and fiftieth birthday,

2299
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 2: as he talks about patriotism, he talks about keeping America

2300
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 2: safe in the America First Agenda. While this is technically

2301
01:49:55,160 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 2: foreign policy, this is our next door neighbor. And while

2302
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 2: we're focusing on the Western hemisphere right now, just imagine

2303
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 2: as we are boiling this insanity up to the surface

2304
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:11,679
Speaker 2: of society and they're all lashing out. We've been able

2305
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 2: to arrest Nicholas Maduro. We've put pressure on Cuba after

2306
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 2: they tried to taunt us, and we're like, oh, you're

2307
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 2: not going to do that to us, Like what do

2308
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 2: we do? We cut them off, and now they're struggling

2309
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 2: even more so than already before, with no power and

2310
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 2: no food, and they're struggling down there in Cuba because

2311
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 2: they think that they want to put up a wall

2312
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 2: and fight against the United States because it's a rage

2313
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:32,679
Speaker 2: against communism. Now we have the cartels that are finally

2314
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:36,520
Speaker 2: lashing out after intel from the US for President Shinbaum,

2315
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 2: who's the president of Mexico that originally said that they're

2316
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 2: not going to start issues with the cartels, probably because

2317
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 2: she's paid off on them. I mean there was what

2318
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 2: thirty people that ran for president and twenty of them died. Yeah,

2319
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 2: you know that she's probably handpicked by at least one

2320
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 2: of the cartels in some fashion. But now the Trump administration,

2321
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 2: signing an executive order just over a year ago now

2322
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 2: has said that that cartels are now international terrorist organizations

2323
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 2: in putting pressure not just on places like Venezuela and

2324
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 2: not putting pressure on places like the Dominican Republic or

2325
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 2: Cuba or other areas, but putting pressure on Mexico and

2326
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 2: just saying, We're not going to deal with this anymore.

2327
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 2: It's on our border. We're getting human trafficking, gun trafficking,

2328
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 2: fentanyl trafficking, drug trafficking, and We're not going to tolerate

2329
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 2: this kind of behavior any longer. And finally put pressure

2330
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 2: on them to do something about it. And now it's

2331
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 2: opened up the can of worms. And in fact, I've

2332
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 2: been reading a lot of posts on social media that

2333
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 2: Democrats are really angry. The people wouldn't be dying if

2334
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,600
Speaker 2: Donald Trump didn't tell in Mexico to do this. But

2335
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,559
Speaker 2: at the same time, what would you rather have Would

2336
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 2: you rather have this done to where we could actually

2337
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 2: cleanse or rid ourselves of insane cartels, or would you

2338
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 2: rather just allow them to keep doing their thing? The beheadings,

2339
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 2: the murders. Why do you think there are so many

2340
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:56,160
Speaker 2: Hispanics and Mexicans that try to come to the United States.

2341
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 2: For those that don't know, the radio station I work

2342
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 2: at here, we have a span of station that's actually

2343
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 2: right below the studio that I'm at right now. Both

2344
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 2: of the people that work there have their green cards,

2345
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:07,679
Speaker 2: and they came here from the United States. Their family

2346
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 2: came here from Mexico because they were getting away from

2347
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 2: the cartels. That's the population that's been so excited for

2348
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:17,639
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to close down the border because they don't

2349
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 2: want what happened in Mexico to happen here in the

2350
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 2: United States. And it's about time we started addressing this.

2351
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump, I know, is gonna mention it. I

2352
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 2: don't know how much of an involvement that he's going

2353
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 2: to have or that he's going to call to have.

2354
01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 2: President Jian Baum in Mexico has said that if the

2355
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 2: United States places military in Mexico that having US soldiers

2356
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 2: on their soil would be a declaration of war. That

2357
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 2: was her statement a year ago, but now that things

2358
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:43,600
Speaker 2: are going on, that tone may have changed just a

2359
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 2: little bit. And can you imagine the success in the

2360
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 2: winds that Donald Trump's going to have when he says,

2361
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 2: we got rid of a cartel member in Venezuela with Miduro,

2362
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 2: We're putting pressure on Cuba and their communism is going

2363
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:59,360
Speaker 2: to collapse, and we're getting rid of the cartels in Mexico.

2364
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 2: To make our hemisphere safe and to make America safe

2365
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 2: with our people, that our neighbors around us. If we

2366
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 2: start getting rid of that stuff, can you imagine the wins.

2367
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:13,720
Speaker 2: Donald Jump's going to have again most productive administration that

2368
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 2: we've seen in the past century, and I'm excited for it.

2369
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:18,200
Speaker 2: I will be back again tomorrow to recap your State

2370
01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 2: of the Union. Until then, enjoy your game for the

2371
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:22,800
Speaker 2: State of the Union. Tonight we'll be back here on

2372
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 2: the radio for the Tott Songs Radio Show. We'll see

2373
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 2: you then. Bye.
