Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us. Write
Speaker 1: down our toll free telephone number if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. It's eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine to four one, Sean if you want to join us.
Speaker 1: I know that some people probably expect me to get
Speaker 1: all worked up and I'm all outraged over the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just don't and I've just kind
Speaker 1: of come to expect that. You know, they seem to
Speaker 1: thrive on building these controversies and what I would argue
Speaker 1: is woke and DEI and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: None of this surprises me. You know, I don't care
Speaker 1: if it's green Day. I don't care if it's bad
Speaker 1: Bunny affectionately referred to on this program as bugs Bunny.
Speaker 1: I don't. I just I don't care about much or
Speaker 1: of any of it at all. I was hoping for
Speaker 1: a good game and it was anything but a good game,
Speaker 1: which frustrated me. Nobody really wants to see a defensive,
Speaker 1: you know, game, and that's what it mostly turned out
Speaker 1: to be. And you know, everyone wants to get involved
Speaker 1: in the controversial side of it. Look, I made a
Speaker 1: decision a long time ago, and I'm glad I made
Speaker 1: my decision, and that is that if you don't like something,
Speaker 1: you don't have to watch something, because I knew that
Speaker 1: maybe some of you would want to talk about it
Speaker 1: in the course of the program today. Knew that it
Speaker 1: was going to be controversial going into it, and Turning
Speaker 1: Point had their alternative halftime show, so I kind of
Speaker 1: watched both together while I was fixing food, which is
Speaker 1: all I really care about the most on Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Sunday anyway. But that's a different story for a different day.
Speaker 1: And I've always just believed in freedom and what does
Speaker 1: that mean. This show has never supported boycotts. We've never
Speaker 1: called for firings, we don't call for cancelations. And the
Speaker 1: bottom line is you get to vote and decide if
Speaker 1: you want to see something or not see something. When
Speaker 1: I tuned into the Turning Point halftime show, they were
Speaker 1: at least on there you Tube channel only, but they're
Speaker 1: also on Rumble on a bunch of other platforms, so
Speaker 1: I don't know what the total number was, but they
Speaker 1: had five million on that one platform watching you know,
Speaker 1: in real kid Rock and others in real time, and
Speaker 1: then you know, I'm watching you know, everyone else's outrage
Speaker 1: to it. I just I just like, Okay, let me
Speaker 1: heat up some wings and let me I had pulled pork.
Speaker 1: I care more about the food that I made. I
Speaker 1: was more happy with that part of it. You know,
Speaker 1: one thing that maybe it's just the way my mind works.
Speaker 1: There are other things that I found fascinating about the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that I mean, I really wanted to see.
Speaker 1: Drake made play better. Sam Darnell I thought did play
Speaker 1: a little bit better. He threw some really tight passes.
Speaker 1: And you think Sad played well. I thought he played
Speaker 1: pretty well considering it was a defensive game. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think both defenses were phenomenal. If it wasn't for
Speaker 1: the what's the guy's name as Gonzalez, I think Christian Gonzalez.
Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez is but I mean he stopped at least
Speaker 1: three touchdowns single handedly. I mean, I thought he played phenomenal.
Speaker 1: He was great the page one.
Speaker 2: He might have been the MVP of that game.
Speaker 1: No, that's true. I think he might have been the
Speaker 1: MVP of that game. And I know you love football too,
Speaker 1: but it was you know, those plays were pretty spectacular.
Speaker 1: I thought the Drake may did have two good moments.
Speaker 1: I mean late in the game unfortunately, but that they
Speaker 1: were not able to get off the line. They just
Speaker 1: couldn't get a first down. Then what did they go six?
Speaker 1: You know, they had no point in the run quarters.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. It never happened before, I don't think,
Speaker 1: or maybe one other time. It was never. I think
Speaker 1: there was only one other game where there was no
Speaker 1: touchdown through three quarters. And you know, I often think
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl as kind of be an anti
Speaker 1: climatic anyway, because we had all these great games leading
Speaker 1: up to it. I think we are both in the
Speaker 1: same camp. We care about the football side of it
Speaker 1: more than you know the other noise surrounding it. But look,
Speaker 1: my my personal if anyone asked me my advice, I
Speaker 1: would be the most inclusive halftime show ever and understand
Speaker 1: the that you don't want to get involved in politics.
Speaker 1: I think this is the last thing that should be
Speaker 1: injected in any any any any event like the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You want to include as many people in the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think the commercials were as great as
Speaker 1: they usually are. Did you anything stand out in your mind?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just about the game, the commercials, Like I
Speaker 2: was hoping for some decent movie trailers. They didn't even
Speaker 2: do that this year.
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like, just give me the game.
Speaker 1: I watch football. I'm not interested in manning cast stuff like,
Speaker 1: just give me the football.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, look, this is a disagreement that I
Speaker 1: have with Linda. Linda does believe in boycotts, and she's
Speaker 1: just she had a family run. How many Bloody Marys
Speaker 1: did you drink? How many mimosas? You know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to drink a lot more.
Speaker 3: That was my whole goal was to drink as many
Speaker 3: Bloody Mary's as possible, but it didn't happen. I have
Speaker 3: mimosas instead.
Speaker 1: How many mimosas I have five?
Speaker 3: It was wonderful.
Speaker 1: Oh, Linda was hammerd before halftime. You know what, wish.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have mattered if they watched or not.
Speaker 3: It was the best thing. It was the best thing
Speaker 3: in the world. It was like the Super Bowl wasn't happening.
Speaker 3: There was not even a figment of imagination of any
Speaker 3: moment mention of it in my home at any time.
Speaker 3: It was wonderful.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely I don't want to be like the Democrats.
Speaker 1: Democrats everything outrages them, outrage, outrage, outrage, outrage. I'm not
Speaker 1: outraged by it. I mean I know that there are
Speaker 1: many people that were. I'm not.
Speaker 3: And well, if you read and you're not outraged, I
Speaker 3: need to I just tall the lyrics.
Speaker 1: I've read the lyrics. I understand, but nobody under nobody.
Speaker 1: I is nobody that I knew that liked the halftime show.
Speaker 1: And I think that's their mistake. I think they ought
Speaker 1: to put on an entertaining halftime show. One way you
Speaker 1: could do it. You could have different genres of music.
Speaker 1: For example, you know, have a rap singer, have you know,
Speaker 1: have Green Day or you two or something like that. Uh,
Speaker 1: you can put a country artist up there, classic rock
Speaker 1: guy up there. Hey yeah it never happened. But even
Speaker 1: a Christian contemporary singer up there, whatever, I mean, they
Speaker 1: don't want that.
Speaker 3: Roger Goodell was hugging Bad Bunny like he was a
Speaker 3: long lost brother after that performance. And not to mention
Speaker 3: the fact.
Speaker 1: If you well, you live in a free country and
Speaker 1: you don't have to watch it, you can you can,
Speaker 1: you know, you can watch the puppy bowl. I love
Speaker 1: the puppy ball. Of course, you love the puppy ball.
Speaker 1: I do love the puppy actually, because I know you
Speaker 1: watch it. I actually tuned in for a few minutes
Speaker 1: to watch the puppy ball. It's a mess, it's a
Speaker 1: complete mess that does the best. But it's the.
Speaker 3: Best kind of mess. It's sweet, it's fluffy, it's kind,
Speaker 3: it's all things. America. I'm like, oh, finally, something nice.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you. I'm in the process of getting
Speaker 1: a new dog. You will congratulations news, Except this dog
Speaker 1: is going to be super trained by the time I
Speaker 1: get it. You don't train them, you give them uh
Speaker 1: uh wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Speaker 3: I like things animal, I love my own.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is fake phony, fraudulent news. You're worse than
Speaker 1: fake news media.
Speaker 3: My dog, Winston, was one of the most amazing, well
Speaker 3: behaved living creatures that ever walked this earth. And let
Speaker 3: me tell you something. I never trained them for one second.
Speaker 1: Yeah I never did. Okay, Well, that's the problem. Most
Speaker 1: people don't know how to train their dogs. You got
Speaker 1: to train.
Speaker 3: About not knowing how. It's about loving something and showing
Speaker 3: them kindness and they will return with kindness.
Speaker 1: Okay, that that is a big part of being a
Speaker 1: loving dog. On it. I'll tell you when to come
Speaker 1: when it's time when the announcement comes. But Lawrence Jones
Speaker 1: is like, he's got the greatest team of trainers ever.
Speaker 1: And this dog is special. This dog is athletic, it
Speaker 1: is smart. This dog rescuing a dog, of course, not
Speaker 1: a gross Oh I'm sorry, I don't. I don't. I've
Speaker 1: had a rescue dog.
Speaker 3: But there are so many dogs that need love. And
Speaker 3: you're gonna try a.
Speaker 1: Dog And the one I have needs love and it's
Speaker 1: already born and it's alive. So yeah, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna rescue that dog and bring into my house and
Speaker 1: love on it and take good care of it. Wait,
Speaker 1: this dog is I'm telling you. When you get to
Speaker 1: see this dog finally, and I introduced the dog to
Speaker 1: the world, this dog is amazing. It is a very
Speaker 1: special dog. Let me get to it. We have and
Speaker 1: later on in the program we'll have our friend Nancy Grace.
Speaker 1: We do have a lot of updates. I I don't
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of this. And I probably
Speaker 1: listened to the message of Savannah Guthrie with alongside her
Speaker 1: brother Cameron and her sister Annie, and I've talked to
Speaker 1: a lot of people and there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: that I think's going on that the public is not
Speaker 1: aware of, and I really don't want to go there.
Speaker 1: But it's so cryptic, this message, and it's so obvious
Speaker 1: to me that it was crafted by law enforcement. Savannah
Speaker 1: Guthries is a broadcaster. She's more than capable of putting forth,
Speaker 1: you know, a message to somebody that might be holding
Speaker 1: her mom, kidnapping her mom, and holding out for ransom
Speaker 1: for her mom. But I want to it says, I
Speaker 1: want you to hear it, because so many people have
Speaker 1: opining to me about it, and I know people interpreted
Speaker 1: different ways. I don't really know what to make of it,
Speaker 1: because on the one hand, I'm thinking of, you know,
Speaker 1: this doesn't sound good. I didn't like the presentation of
Speaker 1: it in terms of the tone. I'm not anything bad
Speaker 1: against her them, It's just they were doing what law
Speaker 1: enforcement is telling them to do, but meaning that what
Speaker 1: the ultimate outcome may be. It is part of this
Speaker 1: that made me feel pessimistic, and then part of it
Speaker 1: they gave me some hope for them. And this is
Speaker 1: why we say on this program, every life does matter.
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody with a heart and a
Speaker 1: soul and a conscience wants her mother to be returned
Speaker 1: safely to her family. And before I play, we beg well,
Speaker 1: she went on to say, we received your message, and
Speaker 1: we understand it's somewhat cryptic. Is it another message besides
Speaker 1: the ones that had been made publicly. We beg you
Speaker 1: now to return our mother to us so that we
Speaker 1: can celebrate with her. Now, the words celebrate many people's mind.
Speaker 1: You think, well, a celebration of life, meaning that maybe
Speaker 1: they believe that she's not alive. But it says celebrate
Speaker 1: with her, which gives me hope. This is the only
Speaker 1: way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us,
Speaker 1: and we will pay. And that's the end of it.
Speaker 1: Let me play it.
Speaker 3: We received your message and we understand. We beg you
Speaker 3: now to return our mother to us so that we
Speaker 3: can celebrate with her.
Speaker 1: This is the only way we will have peace.
Speaker 2: This is very valuable to us, and.
Speaker 3: We will pay.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know why this would even be controversial. This
Speaker 1: has got to be a family decision. I totally support
Speaker 1: their decision in paying. We now know what the amount is.
Speaker 1: It's six million dollars to free her mother. And you know,
Speaker 1: for example, there was one former FBI National Academy leader
Speaker 1: who he oversaw in the National Academy the FBI Michael Harrigan,
Speaker 1: who said proof of life is everything. They need to
Speaker 1: have a dialogue, and the family is looking for a dialogue.
Speaker 1: The problem is as of five o'clock Tucson time, which
Speaker 1: is you know, seven o'clock Eastern time tonight, that deadline
Speaker 1: passes and if there's no two way communication. But this
Speaker 1: guy is arguing, you know, no good comes from of
Speaker 1: sending the money except that, you know, do you want
Speaker 1: to as a as a child of a mother, you know,
Speaker 1: to do everything humanly possible, everything within your power to
Speaker 1: get your loved one back. And what would you do
Speaker 1: to make that happen? And obviously she's in some position
Speaker 1: between herself or siblings, her place of work. I'm sure
Speaker 1: she's not gonna have a hard time raising the money.
Speaker 1: Apparently wants to be paid in bitcoin, et cetera. There
Speaker 1: are a bunch of other developments that I don't know
Speaker 1: what to make of. I'm not sure why the car
Speaker 1: was removed. I'm not sure why the law enforcement keeps
Speaker 1: returning to the home. I'm not sure why they were,
Speaker 1: you know, poking down into a septic tank on the property.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to make of any of it,
Speaker 1: and I'm just in My hope and prayer for that
Speaker 1: family and for any family, is that they get their
Speaker 1: loved one back and that however that and whoever is
Speaker 1: responsible for this gets brought to justice. You know, this
Speaker 1: is why I say every life absolutely matters. You know,
Speaker 1: this is my big criticism of the Democrats. They couldn't
Speaker 1: stand for Lake and Riley or Joscelyn Nungary's families. Why not.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be political. Life shouldn't be political. That's why
Speaker 1: we highlight, you know, the number of people shot, shot
Speaker 1: and killed in Chicago, because we want it to end.
Speaker 1: Because we believe those lives are precious, that talent is
Speaker 1: God given. And you know, that's why we want people
Speaker 1: that have been unvetted, the worst of the worst allowed
Speaker 1: in our country to be removed. And we applaud the good,
Speaker 1: dangerous work that ICE has been doing under heavy criticism.
Speaker 1: I mean, amazing times that we're living in. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you up right, eight hundred nine four one Sean, if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you if you did eat for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: If you would have eaten at my house versus Linda's house,
Speaker 1: you would have preferred my food over her food any day.
Speaker 1: That I can promise you. Although maybe you would have
Speaker 1: liked mimosas, which I don't like mimosas either because it's
Speaker 1: made with champagne, in which I think is gross on
Speaker 1: top of everything else. Eight hundred What I did you
Speaker 1: like champagne?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: I love? I could drink it all day yesterday I.
Speaker 1: Did the bubbly What kind of champagne did you drinking?
Speaker 3: God, I drank prosecco. I didn't drink champagne. I drank
Speaker 3: the cheap stuff, but it was delicious.
Speaker 1: By the way, Jason grab the song by kid Rock
Speaker 1: till you can't if you don't mind, if you're able
Speaker 1: to pull that up, Yeah, you see one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: I just and my phone was blown up during the
Speaker 1: halftime show, and and people you know are angry, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I mean, there are choices that you
Speaker 1: could make in life. You don't have to watch the
Speaker 1: halftime show. You could just watch the game, or you
Speaker 1: can watch Turning Point. Kid Rock performed I never heard
Speaker 1: heard this song till you can't, and I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: I think it was one of his best songs ever.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a little shock in the music industry.
Speaker 1: Where's this from? Benny Johnson posted this, Linda what? What? What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Website is that from? Where? Apparently kid rock song Till
Speaker 1: You Can't is number one and Bad Bunny song is
Speaker 1: number three?
Speaker 3: I thought that, right, So he's looking on it looks
Speaker 3: like he's on iTunes and he's looking to buy the song.
Speaker 3: And so right now kid rock is beating. Yeah, it's Apple.
Speaker 3: So if you go to Apple Music and you look
Speaker 3: at the number one song in the world right now,
Speaker 3: it's kid Rock and not Bad Bunny.
Speaker 1: And Gabby Barrett. Didn't she perform too? I think? I
Speaker 1: think so, I forget. I don't remember everything, you know,
Speaker 1: but I was watching both simultaneously and I could not
Speaker 1: stop listening to that song Till you can't. Let's play
Speaker 1: a little of it.
Speaker 5: You can always put a rageacke in his hand.
Speaker 1: Till you can't.
Speaker 2: Sing?
Speaker 5: Can you can keep putting off forever with that girl
Speaker 5: Who's heart swavenntial ass someday further down the road. You
Speaker 5: can always put a damn head.
Speaker 1: I mean, until you can't, I mean, and this is
Speaker 1: the precarious nature of life. It just made me think
Speaker 1: of all that. And you know, if you've ever lost
Speaker 1: a loved one, you know what that's like. And you
Speaker 1: know what's also interesting about that is is kid Rock
Speaker 1: Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett. Gabbaby Barrett is number four on
Speaker 1: this which I think is pretty amazing. So you know,
Speaker 1: this is why I say, I know that everybody wanted
Speaker 1: me to get worked up. I did not get worked up.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what democrats do all the time.
Speaker 1: They bubble and fizz like Alca Celts over everything that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says. And if they don't want to hear him,
Speaker 1: they don't have to listen to him all the time.
Speaker 1: But they like hate listen and they can't stop and
Speaker 1: they're addicted to it. And you know, one of the
Speaker 1: beauties of liberty and freedom is you live in a
Speaker 1: free society. You get to make your own choices in
Speaker 1: life about the music you listen to, the shows you
Speaker 1: watch I hope it's Hannity, and the radio shows you
Speaker 1: listen to, and the podcasters that you're like, whoever it
Speaker 1: happens to be. You get to decide we are seeing
Speaker 1: massive it's going to be an explosion in the economy,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm making that firm prediction. I know, the
Speaker 1: Dow hitting fifty thousand, that's never been my measuring stick. However,
Speaker 1: when you have between the Nasdaq SMP and the Dow Jones,
Speaker 1: you have over one hundred record sets since Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has become president, It's something to pay attention to because
Speaker 1: you know, people's net worth wealth has gone up significantly.
Speaker 1: I think the most impactful measure that is really benefiting Americans,
Speaker 1: the first and foremost is the price of a gallon
Speaker 1: of gasoline. Now many states even below two dollars a gallon,
Speaker 1: most states below three dollars a gallon, and we were
Speaker 1: paying four and five and only states like California with
Speaker 1: they ridiculously highs gas taxes because of green new climate
Speaker 1: alarmis alarmist, religious cultism. It's crazy. But you know, now
Speaker 1: we're beginning to see more Americans expect the economy to
Speaker 1: improve the next six months. Forty nine percent of those
Speaker 1: surveys said that they were optimistic about economic growth, only
Speaker 1: thirty six percent pessimistic. By a fifty to twenty five
Speaker 1: percent margin. Americans now have a pop more positive than
Speaker 1: negative view about the stock market, and Americans are more
Speaker 1: likely to predict that interest rates will go down, and
Speaker 1: I think they will. You know, the President is predicting
Speaker 1: the Dow might hit one hundred thousand by the end
Speaker 1: of his term. That's how much growth he wants when
Speaker 1: you have trillions of manufacturing, largest tax cuts in history.
Speaker 1: That's another area people you're now noticing this year people
Speaker 1: have more take home pay and people are paying less
Speaker 1: than taxes, and especially if you're in the service industry,
Speaker 1: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why the unions have been out there, you know,
Speaker 1: as fueling a lot of this chaos as it relates
Speaker 1: to illegal immigration, because when you have more people in
Speaker 1: the workforce that are here illegally, that are willing to
Speaker 1: work for lower wages, they're competing with Americans for American jobs.
Speaker 1: A new survey by the New York Fed shows Americans
Speaker 1: are more optimistic also about inflation and jobs. Anyway, Americans
Speaker 1: grew less worried about the near term path of inflation
Speaker 1: and hiring in January, and you know that that's all
Speaker 1: going to hit. I'd say, no later than the third
Speaker 1: quarter of this year. US consumer sentiment increased to a
Speaker 1: six month high in February. University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index,
Speaker 1: you know, the highest reading since last August. From a
Speaker 1: final reading of fifty six point four in January. Economists,
Speaker 1: you know, had forecast only fifty five percent. It's fifty
Speaker 1: seven point three. That's a big difference. The ICE battle continues,
Speaker 1: you know, the battle over ice. You know, this is
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting fight that I think really
Speaker 1: takes place this week, and that is that if the
Speaker 1: Left wants to shut down the Department of Homeland Security
Speaker 1: and they want to defund ICE, I'm willing to have
Speaker 1: that fight. If Republicans are smart, they need to get
Speaker 1: Democrats on record on the Save Act, which would you know,
Speaker 1: force people to have this proof of citizenship legal ID
Speaker 1: and it would eliminate a lot of mail in ballots,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I think that's a good vote to have.
Speaker 1: I think defunding ICE if the Democrats want to, you know,
Speaker 1: now expand out from this, defund dismantle no bail laws,
Speaker 1: defund the police, reimagine the police fine. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: that debate. They already voted for the largest tax increase
Speaker 1: in history. They've already showed that they think it's the
Speaker 1: cost of democracy to buy into climate alarmism. And if
Speaker 1: they want to be the party of chaos and not
Speaker 1: the party of law and order, then I think that
Speaker 1: that sets up the biggest choice midterm election we'll ever
Speaker 1: have in our lifetime. Democratic backed anti ICE rights are
Speaker 1: costing Minneapolis businesses twenty million dollars a week. Ka r
Speaker 1: E eleven Operation metro Surge enters its third month. Minneapolis
Speaker 1: city officials say it's economies. Really, of course it is,
Speaker 1: and they're not doing anything, but you know, putting fuel
Speaker 1: on the fire. And all Democrats keep asking for is
Speaker 1: they want to either abolish ICE outright. ICE agents currently
Speaker 1: do not need a judicial warrant to arrest someone suspected
Speaker 1: of being in the country illegally. They want to stop them.
Speaker 1: They want to unmask agents. I don't have a problem
Speaker 1: with body cams. I think those are actually good things
Speaker 1: for agents, you know, in the end, for their own
Speaker 1: for their own personal safety. And they want to go
Speaker 1: into this whole effort, and you know, you have Jerry
Speaker 1: Natler out there. I mean, it's it's the amount of
Speaker 1: rhetoric is so incendiary. I was surprised just the news
Speaker 1: dot com labor unions leading the anti ice resistance, but
Speaker 1: they no one supposed the illegal immigration because labor unions
Speaker 1: wanted to protect American jobs, high paying career jobs. Now
Speaker 1: a lot of that's going to come online anyway, because
Speaker 1: we're now moving into manufacturing on steroids and human growth hormone.
Speaker 1: Because we never had trillions of dollars in committed investments
Speaker 1: of manufacturing for automobiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductor chips, and also mining
Speaker 1: for rare earth minerals. Those are going to be really
Speaker 1: high paying career jobs.
Speaker 4: Eat.
Speaker 1: The jobs in the energy sector are going to be
Speaker 1: high paying career jobs, and that's going to be great
Speaker 1: for the American people. That's going to be great for
Speaker 1: working men and women. What does a high paying job make.
Speaker 1: It makes all the difference. It makes the difference between
Speaker 1: being able to afford a home and not being able
Speaker 1: to afford a home. And maybe it makes the difference
Speaker 1: between being able to buy a safe, you know, car
Speaker 1: or truck for you and your family. It makes the difference.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can take a family vacation, Maybe you can
Speaker 1: go out to eat and not have to worry about
Speaker 1: the cost of going out to eat. The Democratic Socialist
Speaker 1: candidate for La mayor wants to disarm the police and
Speaker 1: close all jails. And I thought Mom Donnie was bad.
Speaker 1: I thought it couldn't get any worse. La City council
Speaker 1: member Raymond announced she's running for mayor in a surprise
Speaker 1: bid that pitts her against her ally former ally. I
Speaker 1: guess Karen Bass. Karen Bass just came out with this
Speaker 1: watered down version of what happened in the Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 1: But you know, Michael Goodwin points out the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: we once knew is dead. He's not wrong. That's why
Speaker 1: Hakem Jefferies is getting more extreme. That's why Chucky Schumer
Speaker 1: is getting more extreme. You know, asking for voter IDs
Speaker 1: somehow evolved into Jim Crow two point zero. It was
Speaker 1: funny if you look at the critics the movie Milania.
Speaker 1: You know, the critics score was six percent audience rating,
Speaker 1: which is Rotten Tomatoes is the ninety nine percent audience rating.
Speaker 1: And they know they're like, oh, the people must be
Speaker 1: stacking the deck, and Rotten Tomatoes said, no, we're not.
Speaker 1: That's that's what the rating is. Good news Elon Musk
Speaker 1: is back in the political fray, and he's injecting hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars into the midterm elections. He's already
Speaker 1: given twenty million to two top Republican groups by the
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five, according to federal filings, one
Speaker 1: ten million dollar donation into the conduct Kentucky Senate race,
Speaker 1: signaling that he could play a pivotal role in the
Speaker 1: fight for Congress. I think that would be great a team.
Speaker 1: Jefferies pressed on the Democratic opposition of voter ID. Why
Speaker 1: would you be against voter ID? Why would you be
Speaker 1: against that?
Speaker 2: I mean, we're going it's a good example. They have
Speaker 2: a requirement to show your ID, and Democrats won very,
Speaker 2: very handily across across the way. So why not maybe
Speaker 2: even just take that off the table and say, okay,
Speaker 2: maybe not a passport or birth certificate, but show ID.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, every state is empowered to be
Speaker 6: able to make the decision on their own, and we
Speaker 6: completely and totally support that. What Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 6: do is try to nationalize the election translation steal it,
Speaker 6: and we're not going to let it happen.
Speaker 1: We're not going to let it happen. Why would you
Speaker 1: be against that? Why would anybody be against that? By
Speaker 1: the way, just the news also broke bureaucracies. America's five
Speaker 1: largest US cities don't have enough money to pay their bills.
Speaker 1: You want to guess which cities they are? Oh, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Speaker 1: New York City, New York City leading the way, California
Speaker 1: pushing this billionaires tax, which is a wealth tax. This
Speaker 1: is money post paying taxes. Another bite at the apple. Basically,
Speaker 1: wealth confiscation is chasing billionaires and with it all of
Speaker 1: the money they generate. It's ridiculous. Blaine is in Texas.
Speaker 1: Hey Blaine, how are you? What's going on?
Speaker 4: And idiot? Sure is a pleasure to talk to you
Speaker 4: a long time listener. First time I've had the pleasure
Speaker 4: of of talking to you, my friend. Uh down here
Speaker 4: in the great state of Texas. We sure love you, brother?
Speaker 1: What's going on? We love Texas? God bless Texas. What's happening?
Speaker 4: Love to hear that? Hey man, I just wanted to
Speaker 4: thank you for for shouting out to kid Rock last night.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful rendition. Until you can't. I wanted to
Speaker 4: give credit to Cody Johnson, one of our our fellow
Speaker 4: South Texas guys that that wrote that song and sang
Speaker 4: it and and and Kid Rock covered it last night.
Speaker 4: What a what an amazing uh what an amazing rendition
Speaker 4: and and that verse that he added to it was,
Speaker 4: uh what was super special? Uh it was it was
Speaker 4: uh just something that that that that that really hits you,
Speaker 4: hits you hard, especially with faith and family that we're
Speaker 4: talking about with everything going on in the world, Cody
Speaker 4: is Uh. When you see Cody and concert, he talks
Speaker 4: about faith, he talks about family, He praises our first
Speaker 4: responders are law enforcement, our military, and uh man, he's
Speaker 4: sure Kid Rock shirt tied it in last time.
Speaker 1: My friend I thought especially, I thought that was a
Speaker 1: great way to end the their halftime show. I liked it.
Speaker 1: I thought it was well done. Again, everybody's got choices,
Speaker 1: they really do. I find this amazing. Iran trying to
Speaker 1: reject a US demand to halt all enrichment. They don't
Speaker 1: have a nuclear program, although they're trying to rebuild their
Speaker 1: missile sites, and uh, I don't really think they're in
Speaker 1: a position to negotiate, you know, go back to Zelensky
Speaker 1: in the Oval office, with President Trump. What did he say?
Speaker 1: You don't have any cards here us calling for Americans
Speaker 1: to leave Iran immediately. But you know, obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: I the only the only thing they really have to
Speaker 1: negotiate is when they're going to leave. That's the only
Speaker 1: thing I see that they have to negotiate. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine point one, Shawn, is a number if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program.
