I was in Miami over the weekend 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.840 with my two brothers and we had a great time together. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.160 I will tell you that Miami is not a place 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.040 that you, at least South Beach is not a place 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.119 you really want to be over Memorial Day weekend. There's 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.800 so much traffic and they shut down roads. It's like 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.000 they intentionally make the traffic worse. I even asked a 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.440 cop about it. I said, why are you guys closing 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.080 the cause the only real way in and out of 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.160 South Beach to one lane. They said, We're just trying 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.560 to manage the flow. I was like, well, that doesn't 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.600 seem like a good idea if you're trying to go someplace. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.960 But I had a great weekend with the brothers. We 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.920 had a range day, went shooting on all day Saturday, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.040 tackle shooting stuff, and we had such a great time. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.960 I've got fantastic brothers. Names are Keats and Mason. We 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:30.240 only like strange names in my family anyway. So we 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.840 had a great day. But then I got word about 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.160 what happened in a part of Miami. There's there's a 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:41.080 mass shooting. Three guys got it's all on video. Three 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.840 guys got out of a got out of an suv 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.600 and just started They had semi automatic rifles and they 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.360 were at a rap concert and they just started shooting 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.360 into a crowd. Two people dead, twenty people hit by bullets, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.120 twenty people wounded. And this is just one of many 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.800 incidents across the country that's getting attention right now in 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.760 major cities. On a more day weekend, there is there's 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.040 there's a lot of violence out there, and we're seeing 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.600 these these viral videos of it. We're seeing what's happening 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.680 in place after place, whether it's the recent homicide numbers 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:24.400 in Portland, or the punching in the face for absolutely 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:30.240 no reason of an Asian American woman in Chinatown in 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.200 New York City, all of these different incidents where you 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:39.719 can see these videos of people who are being attacked, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.960 people who are being shot, people who are suffering violence 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.039 in our society when they should. You would think we 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.640 would be safer than we've been in a long time, 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.839 considering that there's been so little human contact for about 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.280 a year because of COVID relatively speaking, so little contact, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:06.839 but no what we have is mass increases across the 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.479 country in shootings and violence on the streets, and you 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.800 have to wonder what is it going to take for 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.560 Democrats to understand that we have to do something about this, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.240 that this isn't just going to go away. There has 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:28.279 been a change in perception among those who are willing 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:34.200 to or prone to do violence that now is a 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.599 time when they are less likely to be caught, less 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.800 likely to be severely punished. The criminal element in our 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.400 society thinks that they can act with a more free 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.039 hand against innocence than they have in a long time, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.279 and it comes directly from the undermining of police. We 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.680 see this. It comes from the narrative that cops are 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.240 the problem when really cops are the solution. And when 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.240 does it finally dawn upon demokrats that if they don't 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.440 change course here, this is just going to continue to 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.320 get worse and they will pay a price in the midterms. Finally, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.720 the corporate media is having to wake up to this reality. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:19.320 They've tried so very hard to hide this, to act 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.760 like it's not really something that's as bad as we're 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.200 saying it is. They've done everything in their power to 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.480 downplay this, but now we are finally at a place 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.919 where they're seeing that the violence is not something that 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:40.280 can be discarded anymore, not something that can be completely 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.440 covered up or not covered at all really by the media. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.320 And you know what part of this is, there's there's 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.720 a deep incompetence from the top down of our government. Now. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.760 I know that law enforcement is primarily a state and 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.640 local issue, but there is a tone that is set 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.960 from the very top, a national conversation, a national perception, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.640 and when you have people like Joe Biden and Kamala 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:10.720 Harris in charge, there is a growing sense among people 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.560 that are having to deal with all of this of lawlessness. 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.160 It creates a cycle. It creates a perception that things 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.320 are deteriorating, they're getting worse. And what makes that even 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.520 more challenging to deal with is that they when they 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.000 finally have to look at what's happening, When Harris and 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.120 Biden and this White House and this Democrat Party at 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.400 the national level has to look at the situation, can't 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.280 just avert their eyes anymore. They take the wrong lessons 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:44.000 from it. We have violence escalating in this country, and 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.880 what do Democrats focus on? What are we hearing about 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:56.080 from them. Oh, that's right, A January six commission, that's 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.440 what that's what we really need to be hearing about. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.320 We need to be hearing about the January six commission, 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.080 as if that's going to make anyone truly safer, as 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.840 if the real problem out there is that we haven't 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.720 had enough of a focus on one riot that involved 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.680 right wingers, one riot that did not result in a 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:22.080 single fatality of law enforcement or a bystander, but did 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.840 result in the death of Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed female 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:30.080 protester shot in the neck. But the narrative that you 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.440 hear from Biden is very similar to what you'd hear 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.280 from say, lunatic leftist Keith Olberman, who if you follow 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.280 his stuff on Twitterman, this guy, I think he's in 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:45.360 the process of a long sustained mental breakdown, and maybe 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.320 he's been in the midst of some kind of an 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.679 emotional meltdown for many, many years now. But this is 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.360 what you hear from democrats. Cities are are deteriorating. I mean, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.360 for Miami, which is a great city with great people, 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.880 on some Memorial Day, we can have a mass shooting 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.840 people just pulling up to a crowded a crowded venue 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.920 and shooting into the crowd three people. This is this 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.760 is third world lawlessness kind of stuff. And you would 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.760 think that there would be a sense of urgency to 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.160 tackle this, to deal with it right away. It's Miami, 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.840 it's Portland, it's la It's New York, it's Philadelphia, it's Washington, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.720 d C. It's Detroit, it's New Orleans, it's Saint Louis. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.040 You'd think that there would be some willingness to see 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.480 what's really going on, to take some kind of action. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:36.600 But no, they'd rather talk about the January sixth insurrection. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.760 Play three. This is the attitude those of us who 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:46.319 want democracy and not dictatorship must take. Republican dominated states 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.160 attempting to rewrite federal law or Supreme Court verdicts or 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.640 the basic right of every American to vote, must suffer 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.439 twice as much as they try to make the rest 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.520 of the country suffer. The Republicans are lost. They are 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.000 committed to Trumpism. They are committed to refusing all election 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.200 outcomes they do not like. They are committed to violence 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.000 faced with the existential issue that the demographics of the 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.640 nation will make them into a permanent minority. They are 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.120 willing to sacrifice everything, including you and me and this 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.640 nation's future, to retain their power. It is like invasion 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.280 of the body snatchers. They are gone. Stop trying to 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.120 negotiate with them. The Republican's naked attempt to overthrow the 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:35.520 government last January was just practice. These are bullies, and 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.360 bullies stop only when they are hurt more than they 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.680 can hurt. And the Anti Democracy Party must be hurt 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:48.000 so badly that it can never recover. Bye Bye bar 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.440 gard A Party. This guy is out of his mind. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.920 He's great. Just remember MSNBC used to pay this guy 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.520 millions of dollars to be their biggest host at eight o'clock. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.360 You remember that this got this lunatic. They're trying to 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:09.040 overthrow the government lost January? Yes, how exactly, how are 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:13.520 a bunch of unarmed, unarmed rioters going to overthrow the government? 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:19.559 How was that? I just want one of these leftist lunatics. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.199 I just want one of them to explain to me 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.959 how this plan was supposed to come to fruition. I mean, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:29.520 what are they going to do? A sit in? Well, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.160 democrats do that in state capitals and other places. In 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.240 Congress they do that whenever they want. That's not going 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.280 to overthrow the government. What were they gonna do? What 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:44.320 was Qann Shaman really going to withstand? And an assault 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.560 from from Metro swat, from the National Guard, from you know, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.040 FBI tactical teams, what was he gonna do? He's gonna 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.719 throw his spear at them. This is this is very 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:02.079 damaging though, because they use the exaggeration of January six, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.000 They exaggerate what happened on that day. They use this 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.360 to bludgeon the other side, to bludgeon conservatives into silence, 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.400 while the true authoritarians continue to be the Democrats. The 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:19.080 true authoritarians in this country vote for Biden and Harris 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:24.200 and our leftists and our Marxists and our communists. That's 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.839 what's really happening in our society. But they have this 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:33.760 narrative that they think excuses or erases the reality of 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.600 you and I can so plainly see the only violence 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.200 they want to talk about is a day that the 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:47.119 violence was against a protester, a rioter, and not actually 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.120 lethal against the state. Meanwhile, day in and day out, 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.560 people who live in our cities, our fellow Americans, our neighbors, 0:12:55.600 --> 0:13:01.959 people are being shot in ever increasing number month to month, 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:06.400 year to year because of the undermining of law enforcement 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.960 and the abandonment of rule of law and individual responsibility 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:16.640 in society as a foundational principle by the Democrat Party, 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.320 because what do they offer us up instead? Oh, we'll 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.559 just spend more money and teach more critical race theory, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.680 and that's really going to solve the problems. That's really 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.360 going to make everything seem so much better. I eat 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:35.880 no for breakfast. So have I been told many times 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:40.760 during my career things from oh, you're too young, it's 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.480 not your turn, they're not ready for you. You know 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.640 onelike you has done it before. I've heard all of 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.040 those things many times over the course of my career, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:55.520 but I didn't listen. And I would encourage anyone who's 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.240 been told at whatever their gender, to not listen, because again, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.560 don't be encumbered by the inability of others to see 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.959 the potential of who you are. Why would I make 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.120 you listen to some Kamala Harris stuff there? Why would 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.400 I make you do that? You might be asking that question. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.560 I understand that's a fair question for you to ask. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.560 It's because I want you to really understand this is 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.360 the vice president of the United States, and everything she 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:31.360 says sounds like a nightmarishly boring um just boiler plate 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.160 hr seminar. I mean, this is the person. She reminds 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.320 me every time in my life when I've worked for 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.840 a company or you know, back in college or something, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.200 and I had to sit through some you know, you know, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.640 wop bomp, Charlie Brown mom kind of like what am I? 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.560 Why am I being talked to this way? Kamala Harris 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:57.840 gives a speech and it's as inspiring as listening to 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.160 an airline attendant tell you you about how to put 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.240 on the seatbelt. Right, that's what That's what it reminds me. 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.600 If you're just sitting here, you go, why why do 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.120 I have to listen to this? This person is really 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.920 the second in command and a sense of the United 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.760 States government. Oh, she's already backing away from the border, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.600 you know that. They they're already saying, well, that's not 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.200 really that's not really hers. We'll get into that in 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.920 a little bit. But she was at the Naval Academy 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.680 giving a graduation speech over the weekend, and she got 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.480 a lot of heat because it was a more of 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.080 a weekend, and she put out a tweet that was basically, 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.720 you know, have a great weekend everybody, and people were like, Okay, 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.960 do you know what the weekend's about? Did you know 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.880 what people are thinking about for this weekend? What it 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.840 brings to mind? No? No, she did not, did not 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.400 give that much thought at all. And yet Kamala was 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.760 at the Naval Academy giving her speech and let's just 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:04.560 say that she sunk her battleship, so to speak, did 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.920 not make it through the Naval Academy speech. It was 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.400 not a good speech. And this is the kind of 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.560 stuff that the in his sense deputy command or a chief. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.120 I know that's not really a title, but here's the 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.400 kind of stuff that she was saying at the Naval Academy. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:27.360 One country's carbon emissions can threaten the sustainability of the 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:34.160 whole earth. One country's carbon emissions can threaten the sustainability 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:40.080 of the whole earth. Oh gosh, we should well what 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.080 do we do? Yeah? What are we going to do? 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.920 If that's true? Shouldn't the climate change movement just be 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.160 lobbying China every day to change what it's doing? Why 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920 does the climate change movement in this country even bother 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.080 with what America's doing. When at the end of the day, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.480 if China doesn't change its ways, we're not going to 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.359 be able to avoid the catastrophic warming they say is 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.439 going to happen. Well, you all know the answers to this, 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.720 but you know I'm showing you this stuff. I'm telling 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.760 you about this stuff, whether it's about Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:19.120 because the fact that these are the people who are 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.760 in charge explain so much of what you see going on. Yeah, 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.920 a lot of things are still functioning. Well, we're still America. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.960 We still a great country with incredible people who are 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.639 doing amazing things every day. But when it comes to governance, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.119 when it comes to those who are given power to 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.159 make decisions for the benefit of this nation and to 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.280 defend the constitution, we have people in charge. You say, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.760 I can't believe they're in charge of anything. I mean, 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.720 Joe biden't have to ask you. Would you hire another 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.480 A lot of business owners who listened to this show, 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.119 would you hire Joe Biden to do anything for you, 0:17:55.440 --> 0:18:00.280 customer relations, work, in the package room, whatever, I think? 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:05.639 The answer is no, No, you would not. And withal 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.600 with Kamala Harris, I mean Democrat voters and essence already 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.400 really passed their judgment on her at the national level 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:20.160 when she could barely get any attention, any support when 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.480 she ran for president. But now we got Kamala Harris 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:29.119 lectures happening all the time. This Midshipman is the era 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:35.440 we are in, and it is unlike any era that 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:41.600 came before. So the challenge now, the challenge before us 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:47.480 now is how to mount a modern defense to these 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.680 modern threats. So let me share with you, for example, 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.040 a personal experience. A few years ago, when I was 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.960 in the United States Senate, I visited the USS Scranton. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.200 It was outside of San Diego, California. I know it's 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.960 so it's so boring and so uninspiring that I again, 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.640 I don't want to take up your time. I never 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.280 want to waste even a minute of your time. But 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:13.800 you did hear this is the vice president. Really, this 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.959 is this is what what we're hearing from you. Though 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:21.560 she she had a particularly rough time in this speech, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.760 I think everybody really understood that it was it was 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:31.080 it was bad. Um, there's actually a here you go. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.440 There was a line she made a joke Um, she said, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.840 just ask any marine today would she rather carry twenty 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.240 pounds of batteries or a rolled up solar panel? And 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.760 I am positive she will tell you a solar panel, 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:50.000 and so would he. Okay, so yeah, female marines with 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.080 solar panels. That's that's really that's the future of the 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:59.679 United States military now, according to Kamala Harris friends, Um, 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:05.359 it really is like the third tier professors somehow gathered 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.919 together in the faculty lounge and came up with how 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.359 they're going to run the United States federal government. That's 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.600 what your go that's what you see happening right now. Fortunately, 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:18.000 there are still checks and balances in the system. Their 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.840 places like Florida with Governor Ron de Santis and even 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.879 Governor Abbott and Texas is doing some good stuff to 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.520 fill in the gaps here, the gaps and governance, but 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.760 it's not going to get any better with Biden or comlike. 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.040 And assure you you know how important small businesses are 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:34.640 to me. And for a few weeks now, I've been 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.320 telling you about an amazing company based out of Charleston, 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:42.320 South Carolina called Allegiance Flag Supply. I absolutely love their story. 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.040 Three friends who noticed that the American flags they had 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:49.000 in front of their houses that were constantly getting tangled, mildewed, 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.600 torn or shredded. Decided that they were going to do 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.960 something about it. They searched high and low for a 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.640 better flag, but big box stores and Amazon purchases only 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:00.800 turned up flags that were made in China or if 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.200 they remain in the US. They felt mass produced and 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.520 they came out of some big machine with cheap materials. 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.680 Like you and me, the flag means more to them, 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.560 so they decided to do something about it. They started 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.399 Allegiance Flag Supply out of their own garage and have 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.720 built the company from the ground up. No investors, no loans, 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:22.000 just their blood, sweat, tears, and time. Today they make 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.760 the best American flags and accessories you can find on 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.000 the market. So if you've been looking to purchase a 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.679 flag for your home, or you're tired of your flag 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.879 getting tangled or torn up, shredded happens very quickly, go 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:38.840 to Allegiance Flags website Show Allegiance dot com.

I've always 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:08.000 made it a point to pay attention to when people 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.200 are happy for you and when they're not. I've always 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.439 made it a point to call, for example, friends of 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.880 mine not only when they're successful in something, but also 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.719 when they've had a big downturn in some regard if 0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.040 friends of mine have ever lost their jobs, because you 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.439 remember that, you remember when people reach out to you 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.360 when things are tough, and you remember when people reach 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:32.439 out to you and congratulate you. These are things that 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.320 I will tell you. You learn a lot about individuals 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:40.600 in those moments. And I was honestly so thankful for 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:46.800 people in my life but also in conservative media who 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.800 had really nice things to say when the announcement was 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.960 formally made last Thursday that I will be and I 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:54.919 try to be very specific about how I say this, 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:56.760 and I've been thinking of reflecting on this a lot 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.960 of the weekend. I will be taking over a poor 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:05.920 of the radio time slot formerly held by the great 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:10.760 Rush Limbaugh. That's I'm not replacing. I'm not taking over 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.639 all of it. I'm taking over a portion of the 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:17.640 time slot. I will be Premier's show with Clay Travis, 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.800 the two of us together in that time slot, Clay 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.359 Travis and Buck Sexton show. That's it. There's no replacing Rush. 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.440 And you know, I'm I'm very clear on that Rush 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:32.040 is the giant of our industry. Right. You know, if 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:36.040 you if you come after Henry Ford, you know who's 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.120 the who's the CEO of Ford Motors? You know, after 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.040 Henry Ford? Can any of you think now it might 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.400 have been a great CEO? But you know there's Henry Ford. 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.520 There's everybody else, right, who's the I'm just trying to 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.480 you know, Steve Jobs, Well that's recent enough, maybe you'd 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.560 know that it's, uh, the other guy whose name is 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.080 Tim Cook. But Tim Cook is great and Apple's the 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.440 most profitable it's or you know, the most valuable it's 0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.840 ever been. But he's not Steve Jobs. So I get 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.399 and I want to I really want to establish that 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:07.320 level of respect here. It's important. I also want to 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.520 say that the people who are in my business who 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.240 went out of their way to say nice things. Especially. Look, 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.639 when they reach out to me privately, that's great, but 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.760 also when they say something publicly about it, it's really meaningful. 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:22.919 Because I'm a guy who, I will tell you, in 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:26.960 this business, I've been I've just been grinding it out 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.840 for a decade now, and there have been some some 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:32.679 things that should have gone my way. I think that 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.760 didn't hear in there. There have been some TV opportunities 0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.639 that I was very close to getting and did not 0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.480 get for whatever reason. And you know, and that's, by 0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.399 the way, that's a part of being in media, and 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:47.040 I understand that. But you know, I've had some some 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.520 close calls where things would have been very different in 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.920 a very good way. But I had to just keep 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:53.560 on doing what I do. I had to keep on 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:56.000 showing up, doing the best possible show that I could 0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.439
