John Solomon
Good evening, America. Happy Wednesday. In fact, it's going to be a very happy Wednesday for the members of the military. I'm going to explain that in a second. But first, let me get rid of the formalities here and welcome you to the latest edition of JUST THE news. No noise. I'm your host, John Solomon reporting to you as always from the nation's capital here in Washington, D.C. just a few minutes ago, the United States House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization act, the largest ever allotment of money, authorization of money to the Pentagon now called the War Department. A vote of confidence to what Pete Hegseth, the war secretary, is now doing. Over $900 billion for the fighting men and women of our great armed services, including a long overdue but much appreciated 4% pay raise. Now, it's not going to get through the Senate, but all signs are that it will fare well there as well. That is a big thing. It just happened three minutes ago. And one of the members whose vote pushed it over the line, Congressman Glenn Goethman, is going to join us in a second. But first, some other news, starting with a case of possible judicial overreach with a federal judge earlier today blocking President Trump's deployment of the California National Guard to Los Angeles. Like, well, wait a second, half of the court said the president can do this. Well, they do. And then another judge says now you can't. And yeah, you're right, he's a Democrat judge. U.S. district Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and the brother of the former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, ruled that Trump illegally kept about 100 troops deployed in Los Angeles months after sending troops amid violent protests against U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement agents this summer. Breyer paused this ruling until Monday to give the Justice Department time. You know what appeal, you know how this game goes. Now, judge rules, government, appeals, appellate court or Supreme Court overturns and they go right back and wash, rinse, repeat again. Now moving to the topic of Venezuela. President Trump said he would be ratcheting up the pressure and today he did. The United States Navy today sees an oil tanker off the coast of that country amid ongoing strikes on suspected drug and drug cartels in Washington. Now, Washington driven, a Washington driven pressure campaign, excuse me there, to encourage Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down. By the way, there are some signs that there's some negotiating going on to maybe get him out of power. See how it goes. Remember, President Trump has previously stated that Maduro's days are numbered but has not announced plans for regime change. And finally, some welcome news for those in the housing market. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for a third straight month in a 93 vote. Now wasn't unanimous. That's a little unusual, but we're keeping an eye on that. The reduced rate is the lowest it has been in nearly three years. But the fomc, that's the committee that does the mortgage and interest rate, signaled in a statement that it may keep its rate unchanged in the coming months. Oh, I bet you President Trump will be yelling at the Fed chairman once again when that becomes known. All right, we could turn right away to my amazing co, Amanda Head, who spends her days at the White House. She pays a good feel what President Trump might say if there's not another rate cut. What do you think?
- [05:41]
Co-host Amanda Head
I have a feeling it's going to sound a lot like what he did before, which is not great for them. All right, so, John, the Trump Gold Cards are officially here with the president announcing on Truth Social that The live site Trumpcard.com is officially open for business. He wrote. The United States government's Trump Gold Card is here today. A direct path to citizenship for all qualified and vetted people. So exciting our great American companies can finally keep their invaluable talent. Now, the website says that for a $15,000 DHS processing fee and of course, after background approval and a contribution of $1 million, a person can receive US residency in record time with the Trump Gold Card. It is another stream of income that President Trump is looking to use to help cut the debt as well as boost the economy. All right, turning now to Elon Musk, he gave some revealing answered in an interview today with Katie Miller, the wife of Stephen Miller, on her podcast. And one of those answers was about if Doge was ultimately successful. Take a look. Do you think you were successful?
- [06:50]
John Solomon
We're a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful.
- [06:53]
Host/Commentator
For example, there was like probably 100, maybe $200 billion worth of zombie payments per year, which simply by.
- [07:05]
Enforcing that there be a payment code.
- [07:11]
And an explanation for the payment.
- [07:15]
That the payment would not go out. There are just call it 2 or 3% of government payments that go out.
- [07:21]
John Solomon
That really should not be going out.
- [07:25]
Commercial Voice
And it's actually quite hard to stop.
- [07:29]
Co-host Amanda Head
John, there's been a lot of talk surrounding Elon Musk's departure when it happened, which was that as a private sector person, someone who is used to getting things done in record time to record levels of efficiency, comes to the federal government. And like a lot of people you see come Here from the private sector, they just grow so unbelievably frustrated that, you know, I say to heck with it.
- [07:52]
John Solomon
Did you get something done? Kind of. That was the answer, kind of. That's Washington, kind of. But, you know, guy gets something done all the time. He's also our first guest tonight, Congressman Glenn Grossman from my former home state of Wisconsin. Congressman Grossman, great to have you on the show today.
- [08:06]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Glad to be on the show and glad to be done with the Defense authorization bill.
- [08:11]
John Solomon
That is a big moment. Tell us a little bit about what our Pentagon and our War Department gets out of this, including the great brave men and women that wear that uniform.
- [08:19]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
I think the big things we were looking for is we want to make sure that they're not fighting the last war. And I think they're moving steps in the direction. We learn a lot in the Russian Ukraine war. We learn that a lot of traditional armaments are not the way the next war is going to be fought. The thing that I was looking more than anything though is are we seeing a reduction in non uniformed personnel? You know, when Donald Trump took over, a lot of people weren't aware that 760,000 of employees in the Department of Defense were not wearing a uniform. You know, people sitting in front of a computer screen. I believe right now we've reduced that number by 18 or 19%. I was able to talk to some of the people in the Pentagon. Their goal is to reduce that figure further. You just got done talking to Elon Musk. I think one of the things that Doge exposed is that there are a lot of federal employees who maybe aren't working that hard. And I think we made a big step in the right direction in Donald Trump's first year as far as reducing non uniform personnel. And I think we have commitments in the second year, there's going to be a further reduction which we have to have. I want to remind your listeners we're borrowing 26% of our budget. We cannot keep going this way. And it appears as though the Department of Defense is going to step up and like some of the other departments, begin to lay off some employees who are really not necessary in today's highly technical world.
- [09:56]
Co-host Amanda Head
How much does that equate to in savings for the American people?
- [10:00]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Well, I think if you say, let's say right now we've gotten rid of.
- [10:08]
Oh, say 30,000 employees, that would be about $30 billion in savings per year, which is a good step in the right direction.
- [10:24]
John Solomon
Yeah, it sure is pretty remarkable. All right, there's a lot of other things at foot. This is going to be a very busy December in Washington. The expanded Obamacare subsidies, which really were an insurance prop up program from the COVID era, they're expiring, Republicans are holding a line, but they're not just going to end the subsidies or allow them to expire like Democrats set them to expire. You've got an alternative to put in front of the American people. Tell us about it.
- [10:51]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
It's not a whole bill right now, it's parts of a variety of bills. Things like transparency required.
- [11:01]
Extended use of HSAs throughout small business that we feel collectively, not just this year, but as they become more and more part of our health care system, will reduce our health care costs. You know, we spend so much more on healthcare than other countries do. And, and of course it permeates not only the Obamacare and the part of the population that is dependent on that. It affects any business insurance, it affects people who are out there on their own. So the key thing is to reduce expenditures that way. I'm on a subcommittee that held the hearing, particularly today on the use of technology to reduce the amount of overall cost, the amount of.
- [11:49]
Money, and you can just see it when you go into a hospital, go into a clinic, the amount of money that's going into employees who are involved in medicine themselves is just shocking. And we believe also by setting up more consortiums so you can take economies of scale, take advantage of things like on site clinics, I think you're going to see more of that in the future, which is one of the things that the private sector does to reduce their costs. You know, right now we're up to around $14,000 a year per American in health care costs. I mean, think about that. $14,000 a year per person, that's just unsustainable.
- [12:31]
Co-host Amanda Head
Yeah, well, and I know one of the important points you brought up is the fact that we spend more per person in this country on healthcare than our peer, twice, twice as much as our peer nations. We're not healthier. Where is that money going? Is it just completely wasted?
- [12:48]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Well, like I said, I think there's a lot of money lost in fraud. You know, people.
- [12:57]
Using a Social Security number, somebody else's Social Security number, the medical system grabs, that, submits billing, gets money that way. But I think a lot of it is there's just too much overutilization in the United States. I think the incentives are always to do one more test, sadly, even sometimes one more surgery. And we heard testimony about that today. But I think we have to be a lot more aggressive in looking around the country and saying, if one state is spending way less than another state, why is that? And what can we do about having that many less tests, that many LS surgeries compared to other countries? And of course, we're not healthy, which is another big problem. I think Bobby Kennedy is working on that, and I look forward to our diet changing a little bit. I think some junk food they sell in America isn't even available in Europe. And that's another thing that will, I think, reduce costs overall.
- [14:00]
John Solomon
The president's also done something pretty big, and it'll certainly start to take effect next year, and that is reduce the price of prescription drugs to Americans. Things like Ozempic or in vitro fertilization and other things. These are big, historic changes that haven't been changed in years or prices haven't been gone down in years. Americans will start feeling that in the first quarter of next year. What do you think the reaction is to be when things like no tax on tips, lower drug prices, lower IVF costs suddenly hit their wallet?
- [14:27]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Drug prices, let's say. What was the problem? I think the drug companies give way too many campaign contributions to people in Congress. I think, as a result, Congress was not willing to go after the.
- [14:42]
Pharmaceutical industry like they should have. Donald Trump, you know, he's supported by people other than the pharmaceutical industry, and that's why he was able to crack down on this. And your drugs are going to cost a lot less a year from now. And hopefully when that, when that comes about, all the listeners will know who to thank for that. Donald John Trump.
- [15:02]
John Solomon
Yeah, no doubt, sir.
- [15:03]
Co-host Amanda Head
We were talking earlier about the Trump Gold cards, and he also has these Trump accounts where babies born between now and 2028 get $1,000. This is really a great jump start that's going to benefit these babies and kids and ultimately adults.
- [15:18]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Well, let's look at a couple things. First of all, we want to make sure the next generation is capable of taking care of itself, and we want to make sure we have enough children in the next generation. We don't want to wind up like China or, sadly, Korea or Japan, in which you don't have enough kids. So I think hopefully one step in the right direction. And the biggest problem is the church has got to do a better job of educating people why they should have kids. But I think this will be a first step towards making sure we have a sizable next generation here.
- [15:53]
And that's what I like about it.
- [15:57]
You don't want it to be set up in a way in that we are encouraging the wrong people to have children. But I think overall the step is in the right direction. And.
- [16:08]
And we talk about overall looking at people's economic situation a year from now compared to today, you're 100% right. When these tax cuts kick in, I think it's going to result in more discretionary dollars for people and as they spend more discretionary dollars that further gins up the economy.
- [16:30]
John Solomon
Yeah, I think that's probably right over the horizon. Sir, before I let you go, you have been such a great steward of oversight and then when you find a problem, trying to find a solution. And recently the House with bipartisan support passed a bill that gives taxpayers more rights and makes the IRS more accountable to the taxpayer. Tell us a little bit about this. It's a big deal.
- [16:50]
Congressman Glenn Grothman
Well, right, right now one of the problems we had, it was too easy to penalize taxpayers. You didn't have to your way very high up in the food chain for a rogue IRS agent or an over aggressive IRS agent to put penalties on the individual taxpayer. We're going back to the way things were before President Trump in which you have to deal with an IRS agent who's a little more experienced so individual agents can't willy nilly put penalties on a taxpayer out there. It's something that tax paying groups have wanted. It's something the Small Business Administration wanted. If you think you have tax problems out there, wait till you own your own business. Then you really have tax problems. So this is something that the small business organizations wanted as well. And we think it'll reduce out of control penalties and interest that fall on the American taxpayer and particularly the small business taxpayer.
- [17:51]
John Solomon
Yeah, what a great idea. And making anyone who makes the IRS a little more accountable is going to be greatly thanked by the American people. Congressman, it's always a great honor to have you on the show. Thanks for joining us today. Great to have you on. Thank you much. All right, folks, I know politics sometimes is boring to some people, but it's never boring when our next guest is talking about it. He is one of the greatest pollsters in America. He also makes politics fun. Our good friend Rich Barris up next after these messages.

I love this Elon Omar, whatever the hell her name is with the little chin, little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch. She's always complaining.
- [22:48]
She comes from a country where, I mean, it's considered about the worst country in the world, right? They have no military, they have no nothing. They have no parliament. They don't know what the hell the word parliament means. They have nothing. They have no police. They police themselves. They kill each other all the time. I love her and she comes to our country and she's always complaining about the Constitution allows me to do this. We ought to get her the hell out. She married her brother in order to get in. I love it. President Trump doing one of his big campaign style rallies out there, making his case to the American people and deciding to go on a little bit of a tangent. Which, by the way, you know, one could make the argument that the President may in fact be watching this show and likes the the rhetorical attacks we've been placing against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. And Yeah, I agree, Mr. President, maybe we should get her the hell out of here. One correction. He said she married her brother in order to get into the country. That I think actually is not true. Uh, she married her brother to get him in the country. So it's totally different. Mr. President, sorry, sorry to issue a short correction, but I'm pretty sure it was the other way around. But nevertheless, marrying your brother, not a good thing. Objectively speaking. That is what. Well, that is what you. What happens when you let people from a third world country who don't share the culture and the values of this country into the country and even worse when they're in Congress. Uh, speaking of communist hellholes, he did mention something about Somalia, that it's one of the worst countries in the world. And that's just objectively true by a bunch of different metrics. That really isn't something to be argued about. And unfortunately, there are municipalities in this country that are slowly becoming more and more like Somalia. We're not talking about Minneapolis for once. We're actually going to go to the other communist hellhole that is New York City. New York City is potentially looking at a bill, and the numbers look pretty well. Good for it passing, bad for the fact that it will pass, considering so many people are in support of this, but they are trying to. And the whole affordable housing in New York City could be coming to a head here if this thing gets through. New York City is advancing the Community Opportunity for Purchase act, which is sponsored by one of the Brooklyn councilwoman. The bill was introduced in May of 2024, actually, but really gained momentum when Zohran Dani. I'm still working on my pronunciation. I think I need more throat.
- [25:37]
At least that's the pronunciation that AOC uses. Um, it's gaining. This bill has gained momentum since he won the mayoral race back in November. Um, it is scheduled for a briefing. Actually was scheduled for a briefing today. So we'll get more data on how this is actually progressing in the New York City Council. But it applies to residential buildings with at least three units before selling any of those buildings. And I recognize we're kind of getting into the policy weeds here, but again, this sort of stuff is what makes great places into communist hellholes. It applies to buildings with at least three units. Before selling those buildings on the open market, owners must notify the New York City Department of Housing Prevention and Development.
- [26:27]
And list those qualified buildings to nonprofits first. In other words, hey, you can't just put your building up to the open market. You have to put them into a, I guess like a housing sale purgatory in a way in which nonprofits get 60 days to express interest and then another 120 days to make a competitive offer. In other words, if you'd like to put your house up on the market or your building with three units in this particular case, In New York City, you might have to wait four months to be able to sell the stinking thing because for some reason the government decided to insert itself into a free market pro process.
- [27:14]
For what? I don't even quite understand what the value of that would be. I guess the New York City Council is saying, well, it will make it so that nonprofits can own buildings. And then what? That nonprofit is gonna just donate it to home people? Or maybe the thing is that, well, this non profit can give those houses to, or those living those units to people who, people who need them and therefore then can build the government. And then it could be this circular thing because, well, that's the way that communists like to do business. People forget in so many cases that. Well, let me, let me back up and say this. Even Charlie talked about this. Often there can be parameters on housing, especially when you have big massive corporations buying up individual houses. And there can be legislation in order to stop that. But that's not what's happening here. People tend to forget the overwhelming majority of, you know, smaller, ish buildings. We're not talking about massive sky rises, but like a quadplex, you know, kind of like the one that Attorney General of New York purchased using some fraudulent paperwork allegedly to buy a quad plus that would be included in this, where you then have to submit. Well, no, we got bids from nonprofits and we waited for four months in which the market could change drastically, who knows? Because for some reason the government wants to assert itself into the free market, therefore hurting the smaller property owners, the smaller landlords that for some reason can't sell their property. Because, you know, for whatever reason. Now the bill does say that the property owners who are trying to sell the property can reject some of the bids from the nonprofits. But at the same time, if they go around this, they could face a civil suit up to $30,000. So if you want to sell your building, you can't because you have to wait four months in case any nonprofits want to buy it, because the nonprofits have this.
- [29:32]
Evil, sinister negotiation with the city that's going to pay them because it's this whole thing. And if you don't participate, you risk being fined 30 grand. In what way, shape or form does that benefit the working people of the city of New York? I have no idea. I can't think of any. The only thing it does is it just inserts the freaking government for no freaking reason. And by the way, what constitutes as a nonprofit if I, I mean, not, not to, you know, try and immediately get around this. But maybe that's what we should do on these types of programs is trying to figure out how to get around all of these dumb libraries rules say this goes into effect. Why wouldn't somebody who's then trying to buy a property, you know, for the, for all of the, for an investment, for all of the reasons that people buy property say, you know, I'm, I'm a nonprofit now. I'm filing my 501C3 paperwork and therefore you can just buy them. All it's going to do is create brokers who effectively then make somebody a nonprofit and then have that quote, unquote nonprofit submit a bit. Just useless. It's useless on so many different levels. But go figure, New York City is going to take a crack at making this happen. There are 32 council members who have signed on of the 51 city council members in New York City signed on as sponsors, needs 26 votes to pass and close to 34 to give a mayoral veto override. It does expire at the end of the year. So that's where they're revisiting this thing now. But I just, I don't know. This is one of those things. Let us know tptp USA.com if you're of the mindset of look, who was it? I think it was George Will on Bill Maher's show said he hopes Ma' am Danny wins because America needs a kick in the pants every 20 years and some socialist crazy person needs to govern to show the rest of the country how bad it is. We've had guests and discussions on this show where we go, well, why can't that laboratory of democracy be, you know, Venezuela or another country where none of this needs to happen on American soil. But at the same time, you know, maybe the United States needs a kick in the pants and a reminder every couple decades that this, this whole idea of inserting government where it doesn't need to be is a bad idea and it ends up working negatively for the American people.

- [35:27]
Host/Commentator
Wow, that's great. If you're just listening to the pie, it's Elon Musk, obviously, and is asking, who do you look up to most? Well, the Creator. And he says, well, you know, God is the creator. And all of this, everything around you came from somewhere. It didn't just, poof, happen. Which, by the way, is the craziest atheist argument, I guess. I don't. I understand in theory and in concept, the idea of like, the Big bang, it's like, okay, but where did that come from? Like, just doesn't make sense. Even for the most logical people. It never made sense to me. I don't understand it. And it is interesting to see more and more people who probably. How do I phrase this without sounding demeaning? People like Elon, who, you know, are so smart, they think everything is figureoutable. And then ultimately you get to a place where like, well, there's got to be some element of divine intervention that, you know, the. The fine tuning of life and the specimens that have created humanity. It just. It can't just poof out of nothing. The odds are too greatly stacked against it. It's. It seems impossible. I posted a video from Charlie's memorial where Elon was sitting three or four rows behind where my wife and I were sitting, and there's a bunch of speakers. Obviously there was worship music at the beginning, but then not everybody was there. And then the actual program started, and then there was a couple worship songs in the middle of the program. And Elon was standing up. I don't know what that means, and I don't want to extrapolate too much from that, but there still were several people sitting down. Elon was not one of them. He was standing up. And I.
- [37:19]
If I were to be optimistic, if I'm glass half full, I think we're going to get him. I think Elon's going to come over at some point in time. I hope that's sooner than later. But stuff like this keeps coming out with him, and I think.
- [37:38]
I think that's a good thing. Regardless of what you think about Elon, I know there's some contentious thoughts about one Mr. Elon Musk, especially among our crowd now, but ultimately, I think. I think a guy like him believing in God is a good thing. Speaking of people who don't believe in God, those godless people up in Canada, how's that for a transition? This is, this is, there's a, there's a lot going on here. And I think the United States and the people in the United States and the populace who will ultimately decide whether or not this is okay in the United States needs to be aware of the horrific amount of assisted suicides that are happening in Canada. Who does share a lot of values with the United States. I hope this is never one of them. Canada set a new record, killing 16,500 people by euthanasia. Uh, and that is leading to a bunch of disabled citizens in Canada feeling very, very threatened. Canada's made program a medical assistance in dying.
- [38:52]
Set a 10 year mark. As it said, it's 10 year mark for legal assisted suicides carried out by physicians and endorsed effectively by the government, which is crazy. In 2024, 16,500 people were put to death, which relative to Canada's population is about 1 in 20, which is about 5%. So 5% of people in Canada were put to death on their own accord, effectively committed suicide with the government's help, which is just that, that's, that blows my mind that that's not only legal, but in so many ways in Canada. It's kind of like.
- [39:42]
I don't want to say celebrated, I won't go there. But accepted is not even a high enough term for that. It's in 2023-2024 that number increased 7%. But the biggest increase in this concerning. But, but you also too, there's this weird kind of mental dynamic here where it really, really increased which was from 2019 to 2020. And I don't know if you remember anything about 2020. The Fauci fever was plaguing the globe. The assisted suicides in Canada increased by almost 40%, 36.8% jump from 2019 to 2020. It has gone up and up and up every single year. About 23,000 people who requested assisted suicide in Canada, nearly a fifth of those had conditions like diabetes. So there are people who have, I don't want to say a minor problem because I don't want to diminish people who have diabetes. That's a difficult thing to deal with. And you know, again, I don't want to, you know, make that, make light of that, but at the same time, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and just generic chronic pain. Of the 23, 000 people that requested them, sorry, 23,000 people who requested medical assisted suicide had those conditions which.
- [41:11]
Co-host Amanda Head
You.
- [41:11]
Host/Commentator
Can overcome that, that, that's not Something that, like, you think you should end your life over that. That's, that's, that's crazy. Now, to be fair, the Canadian government denied those requests. They've been saying, well, that's, that's not, that's not enough to justify wanting to end your life. Which again, in theory is good. But what does that say about the culture in Canada where a bunch of people who have problems that are, you know, not, not good but effectively manageable are saying, I'd like to end my life. That is a symptom and a sign of something much bigger and actually much more problematic than the simple acceptance of medically assisted suicide. In the country of Canada.
- [42:05]
Nearly 23% of the overall people seeking government assisted suicide, they say euthanasia. I, I don't know. Euthanasia to me sounds more like what you do to your pets when they're suffering. I did. Literally, it's suicide. Reported that it was because of isolation and loneliness. Medical practitioners reported about 50% of the people who requested assisted suicide was because they didn't want to be a burden to family or friends. Which, you know, that's again, not a reason to want to take your own life. The problem here is Canadians health minister struck an upbeat tone. This is according to, I believe, the Christian Broadcasting Network, saying that she was pleased to share the report that claimed the program protects those who are vulnerable while supporting free choice and personal autonomy.
- [43:02]
I don't think personal autonomy is a good reason to allow people to end their life, but again, that's just me speaking as a person who values human life. We can kind of get into the broader context of what this all means ultimately, but just a little bit more here. Eligibility for this program is expected to expand in 2027 to people with underlying conditions in mental health. Bottom line is they are expecting to make this program bigger. Now there are a lot of different avenues that we can go down here. There's a lot of different tangents that we can go on. There's a lot of different things that can be said about the culture that accepts this, that allows this, and then celebrates this effectively saying, look, this is, this is an advantage for people. But what it really says is it underlines one of the key, key problems with Western society as a whole right now. Again, you can talk to, talk about, well, you know, Canada being a single payer. Government health care system says, yeah, well, this is going to be a little bit too expensive for the government to fix this problem. Have you considered killing yourself?
- [44:17]
Which again, is horrible. And I don't even necessarily want to joke about it. But the main underlying theme is the devaluation of human life on the front end. We see this a lot with the prevalence of abortions and that happens here in the United States of America. But that expands to a broader, more encompassing idea that human life just isn't valuable, your own life just isn't valuable. And where does that put us as a society and as a culture? If we're not thinking that human life is valuable, if we're not thinking in terms of long term.
- [44:54]
Ways to benefit people both emotionally, you know, physically, all of the different ways that humans can be benefited from a healthy and prosperous life. Where, where are we going to go from there? Directionally speaking, where does Western civilization go when human life isn't valued to the extent that, well, maybe trying to commit suicide is frowned upon very, at the very least. Or, or maybe not legalized. Could be, maybe that's the, maybe that's the bar and that that bar is relatively low, but maybe that's at least where we should be setting the bar. Is horrifying what is going on in Canada with this program. And unfortunately they are trying to expand the program to encompass people who have, are honestly vulnerable in and of itself. And that is not a direction that we want to be going in. We want to. I think we should keep continuing talking about this because again, I know this is happening in Canada, but there are a lot of people who are trying to make this sort of thing happen here and the devaluation of human life is not a good thing for anybody in the broader context of our culture that we, we love a lot and we want to continue going forward.

Yeah, there we go, Tim. That's what it is. Governor Walls, we are scared of your masculinity. That's great. Yes. I think the amount of people who are concerned that Tim Walls is just too masculine, it's about zero. I think about zero percent of people. He, again, allegedly is not gay. But I'm still. Jury's still out on that. At least the jury in my own head. I'm not entirely. I'm not entirely sure if that makes sense. It is interesting. And I don't. I don't want to give him too much credit. Governor Gavin Newsom is actually correct on that in terms of the lib messaging on this. He's like, hey, look, this whole, like, everything masculine is toxic is a bad idea. And while I can acknowledge that he's making a correct point there, I also. I hope they continue pushing that sort of thing, because that means they will lose more, and if they lose more, that means we win more. So. So that's good. But I think bottom line here is. Yeah, tiny tampon. Tim. No, no. Nobody's afraid of your overpowering masculinity.
- [51:16]
Speaking of masculinity and where we want it, well, that's in the Department of War. If you want masculine people anywhere, it's gonna be them. And what you don't want, though, is fake masculinity or identified as. I identify as masculine. Again with the air quotes. So many air quotes today. I'm so. I. I apologize. But at the same time, I feel like they're all necessary. An appellant court allows the Pentagon to continue to ban transgenders from the military. That's basically. That's the headline there. A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed the Pentagon to temporarily. Because there's still more courts that have to get worked through here. Enforce its ban on transgenders in the military. The U.S. court of Appeals, D.C. circuit issued a one to two ruling. So three judges, two to one. Sorry, two to one rules. You know what I mean? The majority ruled. Yeah. That you can do this. Staying the district's court's preliminary injunction. This is.
- [52:24]
Mostly a topic for the broader conversation of the Trump administration and the courts, the Trump administrations and their relationships with the courts. The libs would love to keep calling anything President Trump does fascist. And he's a dictator. Okay, find me a dictator. Find me a fascist ruler anywhere in the world, anywhere in global history that is beholden to the courts and works their policies through the judicial system. It doesn't happen. President Trump and his administration continue to go through the courts. And sometimes there are outcomes that we don't necessarily like. And guess what? They abide by them. That's the whole thing. So when things come out like this, I think we should acknowledge them, I think we should celebrate them, uh, because in all, the administration is doing exactly one, what the American people want them to do. But two, within the system that the United States has set up, President Trump is so far and away not a dictator because he continues, and the administration, the. All of the departments that are housed under the executive branch go through the court system. And, you know, we like to celebrate some wins.
- [53:49]
In the past decade. We don't need to get into specifics of it. That's the headline. This court specifically says, hey, for the time being, until this works its way all the way, and there's a definitive, hey, this court's decision is it. And the Supreme Court either takes it up or it doesn't. Until then, yes, you're allowed to boot transgender people out of the military because it's not advantageous. As Pete Hagg says, to has said consistently, the goal of the military is to be the most lethal fighting force on the planet. It is not a jobs program. It is not an inclusion program. It's simply to protect the American people and the homeland. That's the whole thing. And if you're going to prioritize whatever it is that you feel like, great, that's not. This is not the right place for. Place for that. Go ahead, do that somewhere else. And it doesn't have any room here. And the court system up until this point has said, yeah, it's fine. Now again, we'll, we'll keep people posted on this as this continues to work its way through the courts. But the broader context here is that the Trump administration, yet again, is going through the proper channels, unlike any other quote, unquote dictator has ever done in the history of humanity.

No comment. I don't understand that. Okay, let us know in the email address tptpusa.com do you get 6 7? I don't. I recognize this ages me. I don't understand it. I don't understand the cool hip trends that the kids are doing nowadays. The whole 67 thing. I, I don't get it. It's not. I just don't understand it. Let us know in the comment section or sorry in the email tptpsa.com or in the comment section, depending on where it is that you're watching this. Does it make sense to you? Thank goodness in and out is banning six seven because I don't want to have to witness that. Speaking of the email, got a lot of great emails on the topics of schools yesterday. We talked about how school attendance is dropping in areas where illegal immigrants no longer are because they've either self deported or want to stop using, I don't know, taxpayer funded government schools. Uh, Don says this. I don't see a problem. I agree with you Don. Goodbye. You will not be missed. I don't have a problem. Uh, she says I don't have a problem with immigrants being here the right way. But if they're illegal and they're stealing from the American taxpayer. Nah, adios. Stop all over. Not we, we should not stop this for them leaving, uh, it is spitting on our flag and chanting death to America. We should not be funding that. I wholeheartedly agree. Now another email on this same topic. George, this might be the best email I think we've ever gotten and that is saying something on the same topic of school attendance. And this is where this really hits home for me and I probably hits home from you. But George asked this question. School attendance being down to illegal aliens fleeing is costing school districts federal funding. The question remaining now is this, how is this going to affect my property taxes?
- [60:27]
Yeah, dude. Yeah. How is it going to affect our property taxes if illegals are no longer going to the schools and they are no longer living in the country. Therefore attendance is down. Therefore funding needs to go down. Where is my rebate? I have been. I ask everybody when Senator Ron Johnson was on the show, when Senator Ted Cruz was on the show. I consistently ask them how do I get a tax rebate for whatever it is that we're talking about in this particular instance? George, you are absolutely 100% unequivocally correct. If the funding goes down because the attendance is down, am I getting a refund on my property taxes? And even more so, are we going to cut the rate of the property taxes?
- [61:13]
Yes.

On the topic of the FBI kneeling, Steph says.
- [61:21]
This. Steph, this is. I appreciate this note, but it's also just too funny. We didn't. I may or may not have mentioned that some of the FBI agents that were. That were kneeling during a George Floyd protest. We talked about it yesterday. Go watch the segment if you need to. I may or may not have mentioned they were a bunch of overweight women to that point. Steph said, well, they could argue that they had to kneel because they were out of shape. I just. Good point. Good point. Sarah A said this on the topic of the FBI kneeling. Again, if you're not familiar, go watch the segment from yesterday. I want to know who dreamed up that excuse that they were de escalating. That person actually deserves consideration for on the basis of creativity. She also leaves the note. This email has been examined by our quality control department and is certified to be bigoted, rude and downright nasty. That's exactly why we read it. Sarah, appreciate you. I appreciate you sticking to the guidelines of what a TPTPUSA email should include. Last one we'll get to is this Matt? On the topic of the coffee filter pillowcases, I don't know if it read as sarcastically in his head as it did in mine, but he said. This is Matt again. I'm just commenting on the pillowcases coffee filter. It's disgusting. I'm right, Matt, you are right. It was disgusting and it was terrible. Just like any email that you should send to tptpusa.com that's gonna do it for us today. We appreciate you sticking around, tuning in. We'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place. I'm also announcing exploratory committee to run for President of the United States. That is kind of a joke that you may or may not understand. I'll explain it more tomorrow. God bless America.
