Episode Overview

In this lively post-Thanksgiving episode, the America First Podcast crew gathers at the America First Warehouse, calling it “the most patriotic venue in all the land.” The discussion covers reactions to recent political headlines, perceived threats from the left, MAGA movement unity, personal stories of confrontation, and ongoing culture-war battles. The hosts reinforce their unwavering support for Donald Trump, share their skepticism of mainstream institutions, and emphasize the need for grassroots action and community.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Thanksgiving Reflections & MAGA Brotherhood

• The episode opens with gratitude for family, Thanksgiving, and the America First movement.
• A running theme is loyalty—to country, Trump, and one another.
• Joe recounts an altercation (later detailed) and credits his identical twin, Johnny, for jumping in:

  “What really got me this week was the Marjorie Taylor Greene communication … But Trump seems to be always right on everything.” [09:59]

---

Trump’s White House Visitor Controversy (Commie Mondami Discussion)

• Trump hosted a controversial guest at the White House ("Commie Mondami"), sparking mixed emotions.
  • Joe was initially upset, hoping for a “bloodbath” or takedown, but recognized strategic restraint.
  • Kevin Downey Jr. frames Trump’s approach as classic “art of the deal”:

    “Trump was nice with Mr. Rocket man when he had to be. He comes off nice. He uses the carrot. If the carrot doesn’t work, he breaks out the stick.” [07:38]

  • Freddie Rubino thinks Trump let his guest "hang himself" by just being polite and listening.

    “He played it very, very wisely… Let the guy talk, let him hang himself.” [06:22]

---

MAGA Movement & the Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) Rift

• The group discusses rumors of fractures in the MAGA movement over Trump’s rift with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • Kevin: “Every time the left thinks we got Trump this time, they don’t. Maga’s not fractured.” [10:13]
  • Freddie: “For the first time in my life, I trust the president, whatever he does, even if I don’t understand it.” [11:15]
  • Johnny: “[Trump] knows what it is. And whatever he says, I’m behind him 100%.” [13:11]

---

Corruption, ‘Deep State,’ and Election Integrity

• The hosts denounce political corruption and judicial leniency toward figures they see as enemies (e.g., James Comey).
  • Accusations that voter rolls are full of fraudulent or deceased voters:

    “My friend in Kings County ... said there’s a couple of hundred people that are 175 years old and that voted... How many of them voted for Trump? 0.” [14:25]

• Policing and law enforcement get praised, with the group critical of "liberal judges."

---

The Attack on Joe the Box: Personalized Political Hostility

• Joe describes being physically attacked by an individual with “Trump Derangement Syndrome” while working, injuring his shoulder but subduing the attacker with help from brother Johnny.

  “The power of God was upon me that day… I turned to my right hand side to see my brother with his broken leg, wrapping the guy up underneath and pummeling him behind me, you know. And I said, lord, thank you so much, Johnny.” [27:36]

• The panel laments what they see as increasing leftist incitement of violence, blaming Democratic politicians (“Maxine Waters telling people, confront them in public” [25:38]) and the media.
• The discussion turns to a sense of embattlement and the importance of standing proud as a patriot, despite fear or risk.

---

Cultural Angst & Fear vs. Defiance

• The hosts debate being “afraid to wear American flag” or Trump gear in public, pushing back on the climate of intimidation.
  • Freddie Rubino: “No, I’m not afraid…I tell my daughter, have pepper spray. If someone makes you uncomfortable, spray them in the face... it’s gonna get a lot worse.” [39:04]
  • Kevin Downey Jr.: “The reason they feel emboldened… is because they’ve gotten away with it for years. The judges in this country are the big problem.” [29:30]

---

Immigration, Islam, and European Parallels

• Concerns about Muslim immigration, Dearborn (MI) demographics, and anti-Semitism are raised.
  • Kevin Downey Jr.: “Dearborn... goes back to Henry Ford, who was as anti-Semitic as they come. He started a neighborhood in Dearborn for Muslims to come over, and he gave them jobs because they hate Jews, too.” [41:36]
  • They recount Jake Lang’s bacon protest in Dearborn as an act of resistance, discuss crime in Europe, and frame Muslim migration as a deliberate plan to change society.
  • Europe, especially Italy, is praised for “shutting the borders,” while the US is warned of a similar fate unless action is taken.

---

Media & America First Warehouse Activities

• Promoting new America First initiatives: launching a media division, art show on December 6, and comedy events.
  • Fred Rubino: “December 13th, right here at the America First Warehouse. Come on down, come early, have some cocktails... It’s always a great night out.” [52:02]
• The hosts reiterate the goal of building community, supporting first responders, and providing a “safe space for patriots.”

---

Patriotism, Personal Stories & Rudy Giuliani Admiration

• Johnny reflects on family tradition, American flag displays:

  “We used to drive… and we would look at the houses that actually had American flags on them and you knew those were proud Americans.” [36:46]

• Giuliani is especially praised:
  • Freddie: “He is the greatest Italian American in the history of the United States, and I dare anyone to debate me on that.” [58:03]

---

Business, Partners, and Promoting Patriot-Owned Brands

• The end of the episode is devoted to plugging partnership projects (sound money wallet for gold, My Patriot Travel, ‘Freedom Cart’ for US-made products).
• Emphasis is on keeping business, travel, and commerce “in the family” and advancing the America First economy.

---

Notable Quotes and Moments

• On MAGA division:
  “We can disagree with each other and not fall apart. The left can’t do that. If they disagree... someone gets chucked out. I think whatever it is… everything's gonna be fine.” – Kevin Downey Jr. [10:13]
• On trust in Trump:
  “For the first time in my life, I trust the president, whatever he does...” – Freddie Rubino [11:15]
• On violence and fear:
  “It’s a party of lunatics and violent people who think it’s okay to attack people just because... they represent a different party in this country.” – Freddie Rubino [25:38]
• On activism and patriotism:
  “You don’t have to fight. You just have to take a stand. Otherwise your children... are going to deal with what’s going on in England right now. And it's not pretty.” – Kevin Downey Jr. [42:07]
• On optimism and action:
  “People are coming over... and we're gonna win this. I think like Freddie said, though, it gets worse before it gets better.” – Kevin Downey Jr. [46:03]

Wrap-Up & Final Thoughts

The episode is a spirited reaffirmation of the panel’s loyalty to the MAGA movement and the America First cause. The hosts bond over shared grievances, mutual admiration (especially for Trump and Giuliani), and a resolve to “double down” in what they see as hostile times for conservatives. The America First Warehouse is positioned as a cultural hub—combining political activism, patriotism, and fellowship—with ongoing calls to support pro-American brands and events.

Common themes of distrust in institutions, fears about violence, and hope for resurgence through unity pervade throughout. Their tone is combative but celebratory, urging listeners to remain unafraid, get organized, and “stand their ground.”

[Joe the Box]

Boom. That's like a mic drop when we open up with that incredible. Captain USA had done that for me. You guys know who Captain USA is?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

No, I do not.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, it's knock knock. Who's there? Frankie Hudak, my man who does all kinds of jingles and jangles and he did the America first podcast. Jangle and I love it. This is Joe the Box. I am here at the America first warehouse, the most patriotic venue in all the land and you can do your ending anywhere you want. My friends. On the left side is KDJ with me and I love him so much. He's on the radio and he's really on the cutting edge of what's happening. We're going to go to him for Dearborn, Michigan. I know we got some great stories out of Dearborn, his hometown. What's happening? Kevin with you. How are you doing this morning?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Not bad, thank you. I can't complain. I am blessed blessing family this week.

[Joe the Box]

Blessing is the way it is. It's the weekend of Thanksgiving, so blessings and gratefulness is where we should be at. But you, you never know. With Fred Rubino. What's happening with you? Freddie Rubino?

[Freddie Rubino]

Nothing much. I'm just thanking God for everything I have and Thanksgiving is upon us and I'm glad we kicked the Indians asses off of this continent.

[Joe the Box]

Well, you know, speaking of kicking somebody's ass, I had the wonderful experience to get involved with a TDS Trump Derangement syndrome. And all I will say is I believe it was a man. I don't know how they identify these days, but I'm not going to tell too much about it until I get my man that saved me that day, my brother John, my twin brother, you know, when. When we. We don't have him right now. I can't count on him right now to be on time for this show, but when I was getting pummeled, I was very happy to have him.

[Freddie Rubino]

He's not here now. But if I attacked you, he would.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Just come up wheeling out of nowhere.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, maybe we can get him out to do that. But no, he's taking care of business, and that's the way it is. And speaking of business, who's taking good care of business is President Donald Trump? And. But he did have a strange guest at the White House this week, and I was looking for a bloodbath. I wanted to do a takedown, kind of like what I experienced, but it didn't happen. Between the commie Mondami that went down to Washington, D.C. to spend some time with Donald Trump, it kind of hurt me as a maga, you know, that, that they were so buddy buddies, you know. How about you, Freddie Rubino? Does that kind of bother you a little bit, too?

[Freddie Rubino]

I think he played it very well. And when, before it aired, I said to myself, they're going to bait him into doing something like saying that you don't have freedom of speech or that, you know, all the socialist talking points that they love to get on Donald Trump. And he didn't do any of it. He just let him talk. Go ahead. And when Mandami tried to, you know, tried to get in on something, Trump just let him talk, let him hang himself. That's what. That's what he did. And I thought that was good. I thought. I thought he played it very, very wisely. He sat back and said, yeah, we want a free and a safe New York, knowing quite well it's going to crumble into a violent cesspool. And then Trump's going to, hey, we all wanted it. Now you need me. I think he played it good. Let the guy talk. They tried to bait him into saying something where you see all the talking points, and he didn't do it.

[Joe the Box]

Well, I didn't look at it very happily. I was kind of watching. My first reaction was a little frustration on the side. What do we got to play this game? But was it a lesson in the art of the deal? Kevin?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

100% people don't understand, but you do. You just said it. The art of the deal. Trump was nice with Mr. Rocket man when he had to be. He was nice with Putin. He comes off nice. He uses the carrot. If the carrot doesn't work, he breaks out the stick. I think Mamdani. I think commie mom Donnie got in trouble because he seemed a little. Little bum licky there with the president, whom he hates. A little bum lucky. And I think that's why afterwards he made sure someone interviewed him to say, so you still think Donald Trump's a fascist? Oh, yeah. He's still a fascist, without a doubt. I think mom Dhumi got yelled at by his commie pinkos and he had to come out with that little statement.

[Joe the Box]

Well, I will tell you this. I don't really speak that language, but maybe Freddie does. Did you understand what he was talking about?

[Freddie Rubino]

I've never licked the bum, but I think it might be a great experience one day.

[Joe the Box]

Speaking of experiences, Freddie, you're coming back to the warehouse on a big day ahead of us. And I want to let everybody know that the America first warehouse, like Donald Trump, does not sleep. We are dedicated. And really, I mean, I'm in. I'm so in. And I'm even more. I stepped a couple more steps in deeper, you know, And I love the America first movement. I love America First. I do understand the greatest president on the planet is negotiating the art of the deal. And after I kind of thought about it and realized that he was working that with Akami Madame, because I do expect nothing but the worst. We will be raising our prices very rapidly, double, sometimes triple, depend on if you're white or what color you might be, where you haven't decided on the breakdown, but pretty much he's decided on who's going to get taxed in New York City and who's not going to be in all of that. So I'm really excited about that coming down. But I don't know if I. I believe Trump is going to do the right thing. I really do. But what really got me this week was the Marjorie Taylor Greene communication because I have MTG all over the place, and I think she's a maga. I always felt she was America First. You know, you got to. She came here tw to the warehouse, and she really, you know, made me feel good because she said the place was gorgeous, you know, but there was something that she did. And either Trump wants to save her from embarrassment or Trump just says, you know, this is all we're going to do with you at this moment, for whatever his reason. But Trump seems to be always right on everything. I'm not bashing Marjorie Taylor Greene or anything. But I believe that there's some issues here and maybe delicate on the America First MAGA side. Should we be delicate about this? Kevin Downey Jr. You know what?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Excuse me. Here's what I think, Joe. I think. I think every time the left thinks we got Trump this time, they don't. And right now they're saying maga's fractured MTG and Trump. We're not fractured. We're still a team. All right, here's the thing. We can disagree with each other and not fall apart. The left can't do that. They. If they disagree on something, someone gets chucked out. But I think whatever it is, it's going to be. It's going to be smoothed out soon and everything's going to be fine. Trump even said, yeah, I'm more than open to talking with mtg again. Why not? You know how Trump is.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, he talks to anybody.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

He knows the meaning of the word grace.

[Joe the Box]

What I don't like is the, you know, there's a lot of accusations for her out there that she might have been, you know, bought and owned by the Republican Party or by some big money donations, because, you know, it always puzzled me how to be in Congress or any of these positions and, you know, make so much money out of. And what. What causes somebody to get so rich in Congress. Freddie, do you have an answer on that one?

[Freddie Rubino]

Well, in her case, I know her family owns a very large construction company, so she has money, family money already. So I don't think she's bought and paid like that. But getting back to what you were saying about Donald Trump doing the right thing, for the first time in my life, I trust the president, whatever he does, even if I don't understand it. I've never been like that.

[Joe the Box]

Maybe you're a cult.

[Rodney Williams]

No, no.

[Freddie Rubino]

The only other time I felt like a cult was with Rudy Giuliani. I really trusted whatever he did. Whenever he said something, I just trusted him because his track record was always. He just made my life better and safer, whatever he did. So this is a time in my life that I could actually just sit back and say, hey, whatever Trump decides, I'm on board. Because he's always been right. He's always done the right thing for the country. And there's a trust that never, ever before. I didn't even trust Reagan as much as I trust Donald Trump right now. Anything he does, if he's saying, she's got to go, she's gotta go, I'm sure he'll do the Right thing by her, too, because he's a really good person.

[Joe the Box]

He's out of control amazing. And speaking out of control amazing is my identical twin brother, Johnny Blanket. Welcome back to the show, Johnny. I didn't see a hobble in, but you're really working on one foot today.

[Johnny Blanket]

Yeah, yeah. It's not easy to get around, but that's the way it is as far as President Trump goes. That's where I get my news from. I love Donald Trump.

[Joe the Box]

Hold on, Johnny. I don't want you to miss anything. He says his mic is not on, but it is on. Can you hear him? This was a very important. We're going to come back, Johnny. We got two minutes left.

[Johnny Blanket]

I'm not going anyway.

[Joe the Box]

Oh, there he is. Can we hear him now, guys? All right. Well, you were just saying, Johnny, how much you love Donald Trump. Is that what you said?

[Johnny Blanket]

You have more respect for that man than anybody else in this world. He's always been right there. So when I get nervous, you know, say, oh, geez, Margie Taylor Greene, I really liked her. And now all of sudden, he's mad at her. You could bet there's a good reason why he's not happy with her. We might not know what it is, but he knows what it is. And whatever he says, like you said, I'm behind him 100%. I love our president.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah. I'm a fan. I think there's something going on we don't know about.

[Johnny Blanket]

Yep.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

But for Trump to. For these two to have a fight, because these are the two that you would think are always going to be on the same side. But I agree with John, 100%. There's something we don't know and hopefully we will find out, but maybe we don't need to know right now.

[Travis Holloway]

I don't know.

[Joe the Box]

Well, I mean, the transparency, how much transparency really is, you know, an Epstein file coming out. The Epstein files are not coming out. You know, I mean, we clearly know that Trump was innocent. Trump was the one that locked him up. He's the one that really. He started the investigation was very. They're such liars, man. I can't take it anymore, John.

[Johnny Blanket]

What really got me the news for the last day or so was that they let Comey off the hook. What the hell is that all about?

[Freddie Rubino]

Another liberal.

[Johnny Blanket]

I know that's not gonna go into play there. He. He's got to pay for his crimes. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff coming behind. Another liberal judge that let him off.

[Freddie Rubino]

The hook, appointed by Clinton loved by Obama. The whole nonsense is right there.

[Joe the Box]

I'm going to tell you right now. It's such fraud. It's so corrupt. The whole political, you know, the whole political scene. You know, I don't know how to say it, but I got to tell you, the voter rolls are coming up. My friend in Kings county that runs the DJ Chubb Republican Club said there's a couple of hundred people that are 175 years old and that voted. And of the 175 years old people and how many of them voted for Trump?

[Freddie Rubino]

0.

[Joe the Box]

Reminds me of the Polish immigration policy. Do you know this Freddie? I mean, I know you're right Italian, but in Poland you know how many illegal immigrants came through that border?

[Johnny Blanket]

Muslims?

[Freddie Rubino]

How many?

[Joe the Box]

Johnny, tell them.

[Johnny Blanket]

Zero.

[Joe the Box]

You know how many immigration Polish people can't count. You know they get it from that side. How about this? How many immigrant crimes were committed in Warsaw this month? Johnn?

[Commercial Announcer]

Zero. Whoa.

[Joe the Box]

How many hate crimes for the pol. And guess what?

[Johnny Blanket]

We got zero time.

[Joe the Box]

We'll be back right after this break.

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle, and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles, and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey you're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities. Like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

[Travis Holloway]

[Joe the Box]

It's me, Joe the Box. The America first warehouse. Most patriotic venue in the land. With my boy John the Blanket and.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

My other friends, I'm Kevin the Tinfoil.

[Joe the Box]

Yum yum yum yum, Kevin Tinfoil. You can't steal that One.

[Freddie Rubino]

I'm Fred the head.

[Joe the Box]

Whoa, Fred's giving head. I can't believe it. He's such a good player.

[Freddie Rubino]

Hey, $20 is $20.

[Joe the Box]

He's a play, and it's no doubt about it.

[Johnny Blanket]

Next.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Oh, the price went up.

[Joe the Box]

Yes.

[Johnny Blanket]

Yeah.

[Joe the Box]

You know, I just wanted to clarify the thing that happened, which I brought up, and it was very true that. Call me, call me. And Latish or Tish and call me Tish. Call me, call me Tish. Their lawsuit was thrown out, and it was thrown out not because of what he's yapping about. He here called me this morning or last night going, it was a fraudulent case. No, it's not. It's a matter of who's who and who was the interim. See, they're playing games with the Democratic Party. They haven't approved Trump's attorneys. They haven't approved anything from Trump in the Senate. So they're talking about the filibusters, and this is the kind of thing they would clean up. We need to destroy these people. We need to put our knee on their neck. Because I assure you, when he starts sitting out there cuomy, and he's saying that, oh, Trump wants to get us. What did he do for the last four years for Joe Biden and before that for the Clintons and all the other deep state. Kevin, what has he been doing?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know, let me tell you, James Comey, what he should be doing is going to jail. He should be going to jail. All of these idiots should be going to jail. And as you were saying, this thing with the case being thrown out has nothing to do with the merits of the case, has nothing to do with the evidence. All they're saying is that the person who presented it, this woman, was not properly appointed. But here's the fun part. Same thing we saw with Jack Smith in Florida. The judge said he was not properly appointed. All of this means nothing. But he didn't stop going, did he? No, and no one made him stop. That's what I don't like about this. All right, well, we're a bunch of.

[Joe the Box]

Wimps when it comes to the Republicans, man. Nobody's really jumping about it. I heard that his attorney there got technicality, was she was too hot.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Is that it?

[Joe the Box]

She? I mean, if you saw her on the screen, I couldn't believe it. She's another one of Trump's Republican beautiful.

[Freddie Rubino]

Women and a conservative woman.

[Johnny Blanket]

So who is she, the attorneys for Comey or she?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

No, she's a district attorney, Southern district of. For the doj.

[Freddie Rubino]

She Bought the case.

[Johnny Blanket]

She didn't file, right, right?

[Joe the Box]

No, no, no, she filed right. She did everything right. Her appointment wasn't right. That's what her appointment. And because of the timeframe, the 120 days, so there's, you know, some kind of statute of limitation. This is exactly what it was. It was her appointment as overextended. But really, they had nobody coming in. They're blocking them. They closed down the government. You think that was because of righteousness, that they closed the government? No, they closed it down to hurt us and them to keep their power. We got to really put our knee down on their backs and we got to close them and shut them down. America first only, Fred.

[Freddie Rubino]

That's their tactic. You know, their tactic, which is very dangerous. The Democratic Party has become a very dangerous party. What their tactic is, is they shut down the economy. When Trump was in the first time, he was doing things that was so amazing that they were so afraid that they might never get elected again. So they come out with COVID and they completely trash not just our economy, the world's economy, just to get to Trump. This is how crazy they are. So now he's in again and you just have to sit back and wait. When are they going to trash the economy again? Guess what? That's what they're doing again. Yeah, they're trick. They shut down the government. Don't give anybody their checks. Crash the economy. That's their tactic, and it is such a devious tactic. They are in office to make our lives safer and better and to represent us. To crash the economy twice in 10 years is just unforgivable. It's really dangerous.

[Joe the Box]

These people, not only dangerous with how they try and rule and how the propaganda works. I mean, these people are truly evil. They want to hurt you. And I'm going to tell you right now, I got my arm in a sling because I was attacked by a Trump derangement person. And it wasn't anything. You know me, I'm the loudest guy in the room. I wear my flags wherever you are. But I was working. I have to work for a living. I have to pick things up and put them down. That's what I do. And I was wearing my moving man colors. I had nothing to do with it. But the woman next to me started telling me how much she loved Trump. Trump recognized me as Joe the box at the warehouse. But I said, not everybody likes Trump, and boy, did I prove her right. And I got attacked and I had to fight back because I am a fighter. My father taught me to be a badass. He was a badass Marine. I grew up with a, you know, a family. We. The first one to the table ate. If you didn't get there, you had to fight your way to the table. It's just the way it was. There were so many people.

[Johnny Blanket]

We had guests over then. It was family hold back.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

So the guests.

[Joe the Box]

Thanks, Johnny. I forgot Johnny made it to the show after all. Just to correct you, but, you know, I really can't talk about the attack too much, but I will tell you a couple things, that the power of God was upon me that day, because when I had. When he jumped on me and I had to react, I shoved this guy so hard like a football player, you know, And I shoved so hard, when he hit the wall, my shoulder got disconnected, or somewhere in that scuffle, my shoulder got disconnected. And I was holding this guy down, and he was moving and he was turning around, and I was about to lose my superior position, my top position, because I didn't have a shoulder. I mean, it was gone. I still had his wrist for some reason, with my hand. My hand still worked, but my elbow, my. My shoulder was in my back.

[Freddie Rubino]

This is what's happening in this country. People are empowered now by all of the rhetoric. Ice, fight, fight. They're telling people in the military now not to follow orders. They're telling people, if you're in the street and you see a MAGA guy, confront them. And this is what the Democratic Party is now. It's a party of lunatics and violent people who think it's okay to attack people just because they're on. They represent a different party in this country. This is all they've been emboldened for. How many times Maxine Waters have told people, confront them in public, confront them wherever they are in restaurants. This is their method station.

[Johnny Blanket]

I'm going to tell you something. I never wanted to cause any kind of trouble or anything, but the rhetoric out there, like when these senators and former military. You're telling the military not to obey orders from the President of the United States, we're in bad shape, and their minds are so out of control that their anger and their hatred isn't even reasonable to talk to them. You can't talk to them. And I don't know what's going to change that. But if they don't start correcting this and stopping the people from all the hate that comes up from this, I don't know, we're in trouble. You know what I mean?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Otherwise, that's the plan though, John? They want that violence. They want. That's what I think. No, Joe, they love it. What's the last thing the guy called you before things got bad? Was it fascist? Was it Nazi? Was it. They usually go, you're a fascist. And then they jump.

[Joe the Box]

Right. I, I had. I really can't tell you everything because I am. I have to hold back a little bit on what I have to say. But the point I was trying to make before Freddie jumped on the, on the line over there, I tell you right now, he starts giving his input. He's got his own show in an hour.

[Johnny Blanket]

That was her excuse.

[Joe the Box]

The moment that it was going down, I was in a very. I was talking to God because I was afraid for my life. And when my shoulder went out on me and I was, I was on top of this man, I said, lord, I need help. I need a miracle. And he gave me one. I turned to my right hand side to see my brother with his broken leg, wrapping the guy up underneath and pummeling him behind me, you know. And I said, lord, thank you so much, Johnny. Don't let him go. We just held him down for about 20 minutes, right.

[Johnny Blanket]

He could have definitely done some damage to us, but we held him down till the police got there. And it was just totally uncalled for. Total out of control. It's pretty scary. So, you know, maybe not wear my American Proud to be an American shirt because somebody's going to attack me. I don't know what to say. I mean, I don't want the trouble, I don't want it to follow me. I'm going to probably be a little bit more quieter, but I'll certainly stand my ground and stand up for myself when it gets to that point, you know.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah, I'm going to double down and wear twice the Trump gear then for you guys.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, well, I appreciate that, Kevin. When my, when my shoulder heals right now, I really don't like to let anybody know my identity sometimes, you know. So when I do drive the van and I go to make a right hand turn and I look to my left, I always have this on because as they're passing me, they can see. No, I have to say that I am so angry about this. I am so angry about this that I am going to double down as well. I am not worried about being attacked because I'll tell you what, I never would do that. We would never do that. The Republican side, the America first would never do that. But the left continues to shut them Down. And Johnny, I know you're not afraid to wear your thing, but sure, that's what happened to. Happens to a lot of people, you know, now the fear comes in. But I'm going to tell you this. There's a very small group of them, and they're many, many, many of us.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Absolutely. And may I chime in? The reason they feel emboldened to do this is because they got. They've gotten away with it for years. All right? Remember that guy in Wisconsin? He banged up $20,000 worth of damage on Teslas. They let him go. Two people just plowed into an ICE agent with their car. They let them go. That's the problem. The judges in this country are the big problem. They're this. You know, the judicial system needs an enema. And I say we put the hose in New York City where it belongs, and it'll flush it out from there.

[Johnny Blanket]

And unfortunately, when there are no consequences, it still comes. And if you're a person that's, you know, a little bit on the handicap side, maybe with a bum leg. Yeah, I get a little nervous because now I can't defend myself as well as I could. No, I'm not afraid. I love the country. I'll be wearing my red, white, and blue underwears every day.

[Joe the Box]

But underwear nobody can see, Johnny, unless you're wearing them on the outside.

[Johnny Blanket]

Again.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I can see it in my mind right now.

[Joe the Box]

He's the Department of War. How about you, Fred? Are you afraid to wear your American flag?

[Freddie Rubino]

I'm afraid to wear my underwear in public, but like John. But no, I'm not afraid to be in public.

[Johnny Blanket]

I'm not wearing any.

[Freddie Rubino]

And you know what it is? It's. It's a constant thing. The LGBTQ are shooting up schools. The last five schools were shot up by them. They shot the President twice. They killed Charlie Kirk, and they celebrated. These people. These people got to be put down.

[Joe the Box]

They murdered Charlie Kirk, and I have no mercy on them. I will put my knee on their back and I will not let them breathe.

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest. Building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle, and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealth. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

[Joe the Box]

We are back and battered. We're back and battered as the left continues to show violence to us. The Maga cult. The left news continues to lie. They don't give us the whole truth. I love the way Trump calls out some of the fake reporters, even the way that they put the question out. But before we went to break, I was feeling and saying that there so many more of us, that there are so many people that really loved the country, understood what it was like to raise a family, buy a house and live the American dream. I mean that was my path my whole life. And I was blessed enough and now the time of Thanksgiving to be blessed enough to say that I was able to do that. I was able to make a living working hard, show the box. I picked things up, I put them down. I still work that way to make a living. But I'm off for a long time now. This left violence is despicable when it comes right to our own hometown. So I don't blame people to be afraid. They made it this way and they continue to do that. Do you think I'm going to put this to my great friends out here that this will can it end or do we got to continue to put the pressure on them and don't let them breathe. When does it come to a point where we kind of listen to what they have to say? Because honestly, I don't care what they say anymore. They anger and hatred and violence to me has brought me to a whole nother level. We will build the America first media campus here. It's America First Media and television right here at the warehouse. And I'm doing it with great unafraid patriots like Kevin Downey Jr. To my left and Freddie Rubino to my fort far left. And my savior to my right is my brother Johnny Boy. I will tell you this, I'm not afraid, John. I'll go anywhere with you next to me.

[Johnny Blanket]

Well, I gotta say my American patriotism is above the top. I have all real tattoos that are American flags and the eagle because I'm so proud of this country. I remember my dad, I love more than anything else. And we used to drive to wherever we were going to and we would look at the houses that actually had American flags on them and you knew those were proud Americans. And if we can get more than three, we were happy because not too often there was. And I think a lot of people don't because they are afraid. But if you put that flag up that we know who you are, you know, and then they put their flag up, we don't. It doesn't, you know, whatever.

[Joe the Box]

They don't wear flags, Johnny boy. They don't wear flags. They don't have a Joe Biden T shirt. I don't know anybody who has one. I have a FJB shirt. That's a good one.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

So John, let me ask you, are you, are you. Can we hire you for self defense now? Because I'm going to Michigan and I'm going to drive through some pinkos on the way there.

[Freddie Rubino]

If you got the.

[Johnny Blanket]

John, you know, you got to get the adrenaline going, folks. It needs to be something to kick in. Hopefully when my leg gets better, I'll be a little bit better. But I don't want to ever see any one of my friends get hurt. And I would do anything I could. It's just a shame that it gets to this. And it is to this point, unfortunately they are zero tolerance on love in this country. So I think the only way that it's going to change, because that was the original question on that, is to get rid of the illegals and clean up the voter rolls and in person voting so that we get an honest vote. We're losing all these big cities because of the illegal voting. There's no doubt in my mind.

[Joe the Box]

And I'll tell you this just to confirm with you, the last vote that we just had in New York was the mayor. The Commie Mondame had won. And my great friend Jimmy Wagner, he's proud of himself and he runs the Donald J. Trump Republican Club in Kings county where he has a couple of thousand. I don't 100,000 to a million. A couple million in the Kings county area. And he did a FOIL request and got the voter rolls already, you know, the counts that they have. And there's 190 votes for people over 175 years old.

[Freddie Rubino]

I think it's going to get worse.

[Joe the Box]

So how, Freddie? I mean, I know you like Italian food and you live long. These Italian people live forever. Stereotyping a little bit, but, you know, what is it that makes the Italians live so long? To 175 years in Brooklyn? Can you tell me?

[Johnny Blanket]

It's in the source.

[Freddie Rubino]

We carry guns with us so nobody could get the drop on us. But we have a good diet, too. We have a very good diet. And we have a loyalty, too, to the country. And we like to laugh. And laughter is the best medicine. Unless you're sick, then take medicine, believe me. But I'm going to say that I don't think it's going to get better with the Mondavi. I think if you're a New York Jew, it's going to get a lot more dangerous because. And they're going to. They're defunding the police. They are making anti Semitism perfectly acceptable. They're making anti cop anti ice acceptable. They're making the American flag a symbol of hate. So I encourage people to be on the lookout when you're on the train, when you're walking down the street. These crazies are out there. If you need to have pepper spray, if you're not, you know, or a stun gun, carry it. Because I tell my daughter this. Have pepper spray. If someone makes you uncomfortable, spray them in the face. If it's an if. If they weren't going to attack you, just say you're sorry and walk away. It's better to be safe than sorry. And I can tell you now it's gonna get a lot worse.

[Joe the Box]

I like to carry mace, too, but when I pull my container out, it sounds like this.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

One blast of that mace. Reconsider everything, Joe.

[Joe the Box]

Well, these great big cities that are opening up and doing great things for them. I mean, we talk about New York City and how that is overrun now by a Muslim. Islamic extremists will be running New York City. But there's already been a city in Minnesota or a few cities that are totally out of control when it comes to it. The prayer 247 screaming out. And so this guy goes to Dearborn, this Jake Lang guy with a bulletproof vest on and starts slapping bacon on the Quran. So he pulled out some bacon, and I thought we was going to have a barbecue. I was kind of excited about it. But apparently bacon is a bad thing in the Islamic lion religion that's out there. But they want to take over our country now. Kevin Downey Jr. You used to live in Dearborn were you not?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

I. I was actually. I lived in Detroit, but I was born in Dearborn because neighborhoods touch each other. We're that close. I know Dearborn really well.

[Joe the Box]

No touching here today, though.

[Freddie Rubino]

Dearborn has been fondling Detroit for years.

[Joe the Box]

How did it get so bad over there? Kevin Somalians. He moved out.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know what it was? This goes back to the original Henry Ford, who was his antique antisemitic as they come. And he started a neighborhood in Dearborn for Muslims to come over, and he gave them jobs because they hate Jews, too. That's how it started. Here we are a hundred years later, and now what's going on? And we can't talk about it. But here's the fun part. We are talking about it. A couple weeks ago, they arrested three guys going to shoot up a gay bar in Ferndale, which is like. It's a. It's like the Greenwich Village.

[Johnny Blanket]

Shall we say 50 arrested?

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know what I mean? Greenwich Village of New York. Sort of like the artsy, cool kids neighborhood. It's a suburb and. But they don't talk about it. But here's the fun part. Jake Lang, like you said, not only taking action, smacking bacon against the crayon, tries to light it on fire, and then all hell breaks loose. And it's great. They can't do that in England now because they'll put him in jail. They put a guy in jail for yelling, we love bacon. They said, that's offensive. You got. Yeah, you're going to the pokey, mate. So we've got to jump on this. We're going to win this. But, folks, you got to get involved. You don't have to fight. You just have to take a stand. Otherwise your children, your grandchildren are going to deal with what's going on in England right now. And it's not pretty. There's an epidemic of sexual assault. There's murders all over the place. That one little. That one animal stabbed those three little girls at a Taylor Swift party. And then people went nuts. And they put all the people screaming about it in jail because. And someone actually said, hey, what's with all these Muslims raping people in jail? Another girl, 12 years old, had her phone confiscated for looking at something on Facebook. They knew that she had looked at it. Maybe she hit the like button.

[Johnny Blanket]

This is in communist England.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah, exactly. Communist England.

[Freddie Rubino]

England's in trouble. All of Europe is in trouble, except.

[Johnny Blanket]

For Italy, because they're getting rid of.

[Freddie Rubino]

All their Muslims and they're stopping the new immigration coming in. They're not then. They also said that the. The illegal immigrants will not get one penny. If they have to sleep in the river, that's where they'll sleep. But they're not giving them any money. That's when you turn around. Stop rewarding them for coming in and raping and pillaging your country.

[Joe the Box]

Rewards.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

But that's the plan. That's why Keir Starmer brought those people in. And this is sick. And I even hate to say the words sexual assault is grotesquely a part of conquering a civilization. None of this is an accident, folks. It's all planned. And it all starts here on this end with one Barack Hussein Obama. He made this happen.

[Joe the Box]

I am looking forward to the day when he gets called out because somebody just recently went to jail. One of his cabinet members. I know I saw that someplace. Oh, it was the Fuji boy. Now, they did that one song, a remake. Nobody's original these days, right? So they do a remake song. He makes a ton of money of it and he runs through the Somali government tens of millions of dollars. I don't know, trillion dollars.

[Johnny Blanket]

How much?

[Joe the Box]

It was big numbers, big numbers.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

They call it straw man donations. So let's say I want to give money to Joe's running for president. Now. I can only give so much. So I go, hey, Freddie, give this to Joe. Hey, John, can you give this to Joe? Yeah. Keep a little for yourselves.

[Joe the Box]

Because you do it, this big money comes in and then they spread it out amongst the peoples or the people in the party or in the scoop of corruption to go take this money and then redeposit it into the account. Or they do mortgage fraud or they do a ID or the US aid or all of these NGOs. It is a disgrace. And this is why I love Donald Trump. He's a businessman. He's a businessman worth billions. So he was able to use his money to get where he wanted to be. A lot of Americans can't do that. We have local candidates here that don't have the money. If you don't have the support of the Republican Rhinocerost Party, you're not really going to have a chance. But here at the America first warehouse, you do. I want you come into my house. We love America First. Come into our house and I'll make sure I'll help you anyway. Like Greg hack from District 3 taking the George Santos approach. Jorge Santos was tossed out. He voted 99% of the time for America first initiatives. And you know what Craig Hack said to me he was going to do. He was going to make it 100% and I really like that guy. Kevin, there are American people out there. You talk to people on your radio show all the time. How does a regular person get into the public? Should we? It's ridiculous.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

You know what? Every time these animals do something stupid, Joe, like attack you or something that makes the news, another person in the middle goes, ah, I'm done with these Democrats. And unfortunately I think it's going to continue. But we are going to win because more and more people are coming over. I used to be a New York City liberal. My fiance used to be a liberal. People are coming over, all right, and we're going to win this. I think like Freddie said, though, it gets worse before it gets better.

[Joe the Box]

Well, I'll tell you what, I don't like to judge because my Lord says don't judge and stuff. But if I was to walk down the street and see you and your fiance, Jessica, I would say liberal.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Yeah, look at this sweater.

[Johnny Blanket]

She bought it for good.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Everyone thinks that and yet we are allegedly J6ers.

We got live music, we got TP usa. We got a tremendous art show coming up on the 6th. We have Scotty Libato, the relentless maniac patriot. I just saw him down in West Palm Beach. He had an art show down there and I wish him nothing but the best. He'll be here. David Benangis should be flying in as well. That's the artist that done the work. You've seen the Wild one or the Captain America one. I always say they're portraits of me and John because they look so much like us, but I think he tried to do it as true Trump. You'll see some of these. There's great artwork coming on that day. That's December 6th. Go online and get your tickets. But after that, we have another incredible weekend and that's going to be with the stand up comedy of Fred Robino. Freddie's a staple here at the Warehouse and he's got a show going on, on I don't know what date and I don't know what time, but I'm pretty sure he does. Freddie, tell us about it.

[Freddie Rubino]

December 13th, right here at the America First Warehouse House. Come on down, come early, have some cocktails, some drinks. Meet us afterwards. We will have a nice conversation afterwards. It's always a great night out. December 13th, get your tickets now. It's a. And it's a perfect Christmas gift.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, Christmas is coming.

[Freddie Rubino]

It's a stand up comedy. Me, Gino Bisconti and Bonnie Scalise. So it, you'll see us all the time on my podcast and you'll love us on stage.

[Joe the Box]

So it's, it's like a Fred, Fred Robino Parmigiani kind of show tonight. So they'll be offering some eggplant parmesan and some spaghettis and, and some meatballs, right, Freddie?

[Freddie Rubino]

Well, I don't know about the eggplant, but I know that we will have a great show and this is the place to see it.

[Johnny Blanket]

Yeah, there's a lot of things out there you can do. But if you ever come to the America First Warehouse, there's no doubt you'll be back there again. And the last thing you'll have to worry about is any kind of controversy because what do they say, 70% of the place is packing?

[Joe the Box]

Joe, that's A fake news, Johnny boy. And you know what? It's 80 to 85 and we're trying to get that number up. I think it's a free carry zone. I like to carry when I'm around here. I'm not telling you what I'm a.

[Johnny Blanket]

Safe space for patriots, you know?

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, no doubt about it. It is. And we love all the first responders. We love the police. I mean, what a great experience. I mean, that I kind of had with my whole ordeal of being attacked. I think the police were righteous and they did the right thing and they saw the truth. But anyway, my other friend over here, kdj, you got some work going on, you're doing some traveling. Where do people, you know, I want everybody to know what you're doing because you're one of the hardest working patriots I know.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Thank you, sir. You know, folks, if you want to know anything about me, go to Twitter, DJ radio show. Everything turns up there. I've got a website they're working on now. When it's up and going, I'll let you know. But everything I advertise, everything there, every podcast I do here, every radio show, every whatever, comedy is getting really busy, especially in January. I'm going to be all over the place. Probably at a comedy club near you.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And KDJ is a staple as well around here. We have another great show that we pound out is the that show tonight with Mike Loftus. You find Mike sometimes on the Gutfeld Greg Gutfeld show. Greg always likes to make fun of him that he thinks that he buys his clothes out of the dumpster. I don't know what he means by that. But you always see Lofty, right, Johnny?

[Johnny Blanket]

Yeah, yeah. He's a great guest over there. Very educated on and funny too. So I love when Mike's around. I love when Freddy's around because laughing is the best thing for anything that ails you.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah. And you can get it here at the warehouse. We are not non stop. I, I enjoy a good laugh. I was sitting with my mom this morning and I had a good laugh with her because she was yippity yapping, cha cha cha cha cha. And it was time for her to take her Mullen so she can cough. And mullen requires a sip of water and one minute of complete silence.

[Johnny Blanket]

Unbelievable. It's the best minute of the day.

[Joe the Box]

Sorry, Mom.

[Johnny Blanket]

Hopefully she's not watching today.

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, but you know what I'm going to do? Mark that time 7:02 in the, in the fourth paragraph. We're gonna take her to mom tomorrow. When I see you, she's gonna love it, Johnny. Because I'd like to be the favorite.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

Son once in a while, you know.

[Johnny Blanket]

Just to go back a little bit on your patriotic pride and wearing your colors when you're out there. I know one thing that is good. On my pickup truck, I do have the Trump and I also have the Marines because I'm a Marine Corps sandwich. My son's a marine and my dad's a Marine. And then when you get pulled over by the police, believe me, a little bit of respect. And most of the time, you're out of there. You know what I mean? It goes both ways. And he's. I appreciate your flag on there. I appreciate you, what you're doing to betterment our. Our country and, and support our police. You know, I feel like we can.

[Joe the Box]

Get away with almost anything when it comes to the popo, you know, I mean, I could drive in the left lane if I wanted to with my truck as well. I had my flag off the back. You know what they would say? Stay out of the left lane. Okay. Come on, you American patient.

[Johnny Blanket]

What kind of a van is this? I remember they said, what the hell is this van?

[Joe the Box]

Yeah, we're out to make it happen here at the America First Warehouse. We're going to be doing constant production and promotion of America First. There's another couple of events coming up, I think on that Sunday after that fantastic art show. We have a vendor fair, and I'm told we have a hundred some odd vendors.

[Johnny Blanket]

I believe.

[Joe the Box]

I don't know, I don't want to be held to that. But we're going to use the whole warehouse. They're going to be setting up tables, and you're going to be able to get great gifts. Gifts for Christmas. On that Sunday, go to the America First Warehouse and do that. I. I always get myself in trouble because when I go to those events, I. I feel like I have to buy something from everybody, you know, So I will go down the aisle. You're definitely going to get a sale out of me. It's just the way it is.

[Johnny Blanket]

You know what I like too, is I see as we grow here, there are people that now are regulars. You know what I mean, that they didn't come here before. But you know what? We had nothing going on a Friday night because we've done stuff with movies. We showed movies besides all these great shows, you know, so there's always something going on here. And then once you come, you say, holy Cow. What a great place to go to. What a great place to have fun and appreciate my patriotism and love this country.

[Joe the Box]

I know you'll be back, Johnny. I can tell you. I feel it too. I feel the power of the Holy Spirit moving through the America first warehouse. We have great friends like TPUSA coming in. Pow. We have so many great things coming into the warehouse. That's what I love about it. We got friends from Rudy Giuliani. He's going to be a big part of this build out. He wants the news. He had always had aspired to run a news department. And I have to first get his resume and qualifications if he can do that. Johnny, what do you think about that?

[Johnny Blanket]

Well, I know that Fred said some wonderful things about Rudy, so I know how I feel about him.

[Joe the Box]

We love him and well, he's going to get every. He got pardoned too. Did you guys know that? I wonder if he.

[Freddie Rubino]

I did know that.

[Joe the Box]

Well, is it an Italian newspaper that.

[Freddie Rubino]

You got that it just. It gets. It gets out there? We have a whole network of Italians. Whenever something happens, we all know about it. Yeah, it's called the mob, called the Knights of Columbus. Let me tell you something. I've said this a million times. I make a case for it. He is the greatest Italian American in the history of the United States States. And I dare anyone to debate me on that.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

He's a colonizer, Freddie, and so are you.

[Freddie Rubino]

I am a colonizer.

[Johnny Blanket]

Italian came out because you make a great American.

[Freddie Rubino]

He's a great in Americano.

[Joe the Box]

He's a fantastic man. I just saw him down in Florida. I went. I spent a little bit of time with him. I was able to watch Dr. Maria's show out there. They're part of. They have their own show and then they have a Mike Lindell show, which I love Mike Lindell. I mean, mean, if you got. You know, I had this one lady during holy night. She had fallen after, you know, the. She was touched by the Holy Spirit. She fell on a beautiful, comfortable floor. But I really wanted her to be comfortable. So I quickly grabbed a Mike Lindell pillow and I threw it under her head just before she landed. And it was the most comfortable landing she's ever had is what she had told me.

[Kevin Downey Jr.]

And she took a nap.

[Joe the Box]

She went out like a. Yes, yes. She was healed. And she knew the Constitution backwards and forwards. It was great.

[Johnny Blanket]

And because of that pillow, she didn't have a headache.

[Joe the Box]

So these great things are happening. Here's another great thing that's happening because I Was praying, how can I get help, Joe? I want to keep the warehouse going. We really do. We think we have something. We were motivated through personal tragedy to get here. And we just want to keep it going. But how do we do it? So we found some great partners. And that's what it is. It's partners that believe like we believe and want to do the same things. And we. We right now have three great partners. One is the sound money wallet. You'll see the commercial about that. It gives every American the opportunity to buy fractional gold. And I know my brother Johnny boy, he jumped on it right away and he can buy a dollar a day because you can afford that, right John?

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny Blanket]

I never thought that I could. But now when somebody asks me, I'm always ready. What do you got? Your money? I'm invested in gold.

[Joe the Box]

And I love the gold. But I really want. I saw the little tiny gold bars. That's what I like to stack a couple of them. You know, I don't know why I get excited about that. The big ones that do much because the big ones are like $4,000. But other great partners here. Gentlemen, I gotta take the time and share. Is the Patriot travel organization. My Patriot travel. You get that onto the America first website as well. And that's a membership of about $29 a month. So it's about 300 some odd dollars a year end. I joined it and I booked my first flight. I don't book flights through it because you want to go direct with the airport on that in case you change your flight. But the hotels managed through there. Saved me $200 because they cut the hotel parity off. They have these agreements with these big blackrock guys. So they're all in cahoots. There's only two companies that own them. But guess what? The patriots moved in and were taking their travel industry over. And you can join it at the America first warehouse. And finally it's. How about buying and using American products made by Americans? All right? And that too is at the freedom cart at the America first warehouse. And you got in there all kinds of great stuff in there for Christmas to buy. Right now you can buy bath stuff. Johnny boy. So you smell nice. They got toothpaste. Cleanest stuff, right?

[Johnny Blanket]

And it's all made in America.

[Joe the Box]

Not only is it made in America, but it's. It's sold and transported and delivered to Americans. Okay. It's the. My freedom cart at the America first warehouse. America First. That sounds good to me. So if you guys get a chance go online over there and you know, and book, buy something from the Patriots because we are patriots. Helping patriots. America First Warehouse. The most patriotic venue in all the land. And I believe my personal goal is I would love to see the America First Warehouse become the America First Republican Club. And I'm saying that to close out and I expect a couple of phone calls. But we are the America First Republican Club here at the America First Warehouse. That's what we're all about. See you next time.
