No other country on the planet could even come close to pulling off with the United States pulled off this weekend. Also, the Ethiopian director of the who is weighing in on the war in Iran. Thank you. Finally. Thank goodness he has something to say. And breaking WNBA news. I'm only half kidding. All that more coming up. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. The unbelievable, I guess you have to believe it. So it isn't necessarily unbelievable because believe it, it happened. Rescue of US Service members who were shot down over Iran coming up. And what it says about where we are, how our ability is positioned and what the detractors, the America haters, you know, really hate. Spoiler alert. It is success. TBT tpsa.com is the email address. If you like, send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, even. How was your weekend? How was your Easter weekend? Hopefully you made it to church. Let us know any good or or bad experiences, you know, leaving it open to to you folks. TBTP USA.com is that email address. Remember, if your emails are just gross, disgusting, vile and nasty in all nature, the chances of us reading it on the show actually increase substantially, which I don't know is a good idea, but that's just been the policy on this show. So we, you know, it's because it fits what we're trying to do here according to several of the lips. TPTP USA.com is that email address. I will be in Anaheim, California next Thursday, April 16th. I'll be in Moscow, Idaho at University of Idaho with Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles on April 28, as well as many other dates coming at some point in the near future. If you want to get information on any of those events, emails also tbt@tbusa.com over the weekend, the United States did two incredibly amazing things. One, we put people, human beings, further than they've ever been from the planet and at the same time pulled off one of the most impressive rescues. And that no other country could have pulled off, evidenced by two several countries saying, hey, we could not have pulled that off. We'll talk about that in just a second. But before we get into kind of the details of what I think is one of the most impressive military operations ever in Iran, I want to just play a brief clip of the President of the United States effectively saying the same thing. This is cut 15 and we're here
- [02:46]
Donald Trump
today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches. I guess you would call It a search and rescue mission ever attempted by the military. Generally, when planes are knocked down in war, especially when you're fighting a strong group, an evil group, you can't really do this because you send in 200 men to pick up one and it's something that's usually not attempted as much as you want to attempt and bad things happen to that one or two. And in this case we did two and might not have been attempted before,
- [03:25]
Joe Bob
but we did the President, they're highlighting that this sort of rescue operation wouldn't have even been attempted not all that long ago and that the United States not only attempted to rescue its two aircraft personnel, but actually succeeded in both. Now, the first, first guy, the pilot got rescued within about 7, 7 hours was rescued by a helicopter that actually took a bunch of fire from the ground. Helicopter was hit, several service members wounded, but thank God, no casualties. The second one though is what I'd like to get into and then kind of look at what that means in the context of what is the United States, how are, how capable are we and our other countries even as close to as capable? Again, spoiler alert. No, they're not. Now I recognize I'm probably going to leave some holes here in the story. One, because the story is still kind of developing and pieces are being put together of what actually happened when. And two, I more want to read some of the reaction from several media outlets that were talking about the capability of the United States of America. So first things first, plane goes down on Good Friday. Thankfully, both the pilots were able to eject immediately. The Iranian, the IRGC officials put a $60,000 bounty on their heads, right? Which is just for reference, about 10 times the average annual salary of an Iranian. So do the math, what that would be in your mind. In other words, a bunch of Iranian civilians, but also militia aligned people probably were going out searching for this guy to hopefully collect on that $60,000 bounty. Now, because there's a bunch of people going out there, the CIA got involved and created a bunch of different diversions. Hey, we put some messaging in their media saying I already been rescued, no point in going out and looking for them. And then when anybody would get close, they would either one, the US Military would either bomb the crap out of them, which great, or two, they'd send them off into a different direction, Ms. Mislead them in ways that only the United States can do. Now, this guy only had a handgun to defend himself, ended up climbing 7,000ft because that's what you're supposed to do and was on his own for almost over 36 hours around midnight. This is from the New York Post, by the way. I'm reading. Around midnight Sunday local time, US Intelligence used the colonel's emergency beacon, the CIA, CIA and assets, to narrow his location to a specific mountain crevice, according to CBS News. Uh, now, there's a lot of stuff going on here. In addition to just wrecking or realizing where this guy is, finding where this guy is, he's putting out a beacon. But also it's limited to try and keep himself hidden from the Iranians, while also the United States is trying to send people off in different directions. President Trump also talked about the subterfuge that, that the United States military was able to pull off in this rescue effort. This is cut 16, and a lot
- [06:35]
Donald Trump
of it was subterfuge. We wanted to have them think he was in a different location because they had a vast military force out there. Thousands, thousands of people were looking. So we wanted them to look in different areas. So we were scattered all over. Like, we were right on top of them. We had seven different locations where they thought, and they were very confused. They said, well, wait a minute, they've got groups here, they've got groups there. It's amazing. So they had all these different sites where everybody thought he was located. We think we have him over there because they have nine planes circling a little area that's 25 miles down the coast. So in a breathtaking show of skill and precision, lethality and force, America's military descended on the area, the real area, engaged the enemy, rescued the stranded officer, destroyed all threats, and exited Iranian territory while taking no casualties of any kind.
- [07:38]
Joe Bob
And I think that's the big one. No casualties of any kind. But it basically speaks to the misinformation that the US Put out there through the CIA, through the military, through physical aircraft dropping bombs in various locations to throw people off. Oh, they dropped a bomb over here. They must be over here. And President Trump said, about 25 miles away from where the Colonel actually was. I want to read you this from the New York Post to US Military official familiar with the operation told the experienced Middle east journalist Michael Weiss, the US Air Force had to use multiple bombs to blow up all the aircraft they abandoned at the airstrip. Sorry, forgot to mention that there was a manufactured airstrip that the United States effectively made out of nothing and had to land in there. There were some technical issues, some mechanical issues that went on with those aircraft, and they had to leave them there now rather than leave Them there, let them fall into the enemy's hands. Obviously they destroy them. That's kind of standard practice. The official close to the situation said the Iranians also shot down two MQ9 Reaper drones. We'll get to why. I think that that is more important in just a quick second. But he goes on to say this. Luckily the US Suffered no casualties and we had to use multiple bombs and missiles to blow up IRGC Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vehicles that tried to get up the mountain and those who tried to drive onto the airstrip. In other words, they were protected and kept safe by all of the US Aircraft that were assigned to this mission. Again, really quickly, they had had people on the ground, had military aircraft, aircraft malfunction. Rather than scrap everything, they send in additional aircraft to go pick those people up. Everybody got out. America wins. Fantastic. Okay, all of this, interestingly enough, is happening at the exact same time that the US is using B2 bunker busters to blow up the underground IRGC headquarters. All while this is happening during an incredibly complex and incredibly sophisticated and incredibly brave operation to rescue an American behind enemy lines. We are also blowing up the enemy's headquarters. Slight tangent, by the way. This to me is a great example and evidence of we can do two things at the same time, right? You have two problems. You can take care of both of them at the same time in the United States of America. So the whole argument of, well, we should be doing this and not this, we're big enough, we're big enough superpower that we can do both of them at the same time. So this brings us to why. What does this say about us? Three points that I would like to hit on. The first is it displays our amazing, unbelievable regard for life. The United States of America, as evidenced by this military operation, values human life and American life so much that we are willing to use an enormous amount of resources and personnel in, in order to recover just one American. Will the Iranians do that for their people? No, they will not. Will many of the other countries around the world, one decide to do that for their people or two have the ability to do that for their people? Absolutely not. As far as resources go, like I mentioned, there were two aircrafts that were unfortunately in not working order to take off from. From the makeshift airshift. Makeshift airstrip and had to be blown up. There are bunch of libs out there pointing out the cost of that. Well, these are, you know, multiple tens of millions of dollars that were blown up effectively by the United States on this airstrip. To me, Though that just kind of reiterates the point of we will stop at nothing if there is a possibility of rescuing one of our own. It is an amazing regard for human life that the enemy Iranians do not have, especially in light of them killing 30,000 of their own people for protesting in the streets. The second point that I'd like to hit at is the ability of our military. I want to just read you a couple lines from an article in the UK Telegraph. The article was entitled by Britain couldn't have pulled off this Iran rescue. Which is correct. Let me just read this to you verbatim. This rescue is proof that the years of integration and leadership. So said I'm gonna read this to you, but it didn't really set it up. He's. The whole article is talking about when the Iranians. When the Islamic extremists originally took over. Remember a bunch of Americans kidnapped. That's what the movie Argo is about. We got him out of there. Great operation, but, you know, also had some issues. I think eight military servicemen died in those rescue attempts. He's talking about, okay, US learned from their mistakes or their difficulties and adapted. And here's what they've come to. The United States prepared the US military better than any other. The deep understanding of joint operations and relentless rehearsal has made the US Special operations the most capable in the world. Fact check true. Losing a C1 30 and a helicopter won't matter so long as everyone has brought home. And again, I think those aircraft are probably going to be different depending on when this guy wrote this piece again in the UK Telegraph. He goes on. For Britain, there is a harder lesson. We could not have done it. We do not have the platforms, the satellite, the reach or the mass. Our rescue plan, if the airmen were British, would be to call the US Our only choice would be reaching out to Washington or capitulating to Tehran. In other words, the UK as well as many other of our quote unquote allies. Their only plan is please us, Help us, please. Americans, we are incapable. We can't do it. Can you help us? And of course, Americans, you know, would reach out, a helping hand when possible. But I think this underlies how spectacular this event was. Let me just finish up what he said. Um, again, this guy writing in the UK Telegraph, the Americans got their man because they decided decades ago that they would never accept the alternative. That's given them power, that demands respect. Britain once had it, like America. We could decide to have it again. I read that because I figured I nobody's going to say that better than this guy writing this article. I believe this is a British service veteran. Yeah. The bottom line is, one, we're. Well, the first thing is we have an amazing regard for life. And two, we have capability because we prepare for this sort of stuff. The last point that I'd like to hit at is the total opposite of the cheerleading that I do and hopefully you do for the United States of America, regardless of the conflict around the world, regardless of whether or not you think we should be in Iran. I think we should. I think the president has displayed why it's necessary. Um, but again, regardless of that, it's crazy to effectively root for the U. S to lose. Which brings us to our third point is, which is the overwhelming amount of defeatism that for some reason exists in our mainstream media. Andy Kessler wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal about this, and let me read you a line from that, because I think this is exactly on point. He says this about the US Media loving to lose. For some reason, I can't stand all the defeatism. After a few short weeks, multiple New York Times columnists use the word quagmire to describe Iran. Really? No Navy, few launchers, dwindling missiles and drones, plus nukes under rubble. Yet the Guardian writes, the President has lost the Iran war. What the f are you people talking about? All of the people around the media space, and honestly on several planes of the political spectrum talking about, well, the United States is losing the war, or. Or we shouldn't be involved in, therefore, I don't want the US to be successful are crazy people. The defeatism that exists in our culture is so pervasive that, you know, this is why we do this new media type stuff, because it needs to be ousted. Because again, regardless of what you think about this particular military intervention, you should never want the United States of America to effectively lose. And many people haven't outright said that. But the analysis that they've done around this might. Has what Might as well have been in that lane of, oh, you know, look at how bad this is going. Look at how awful this is. It's another forever war. Which, again, President Trump refuted last week. We said, yeah, a couple more weeks, which is Nowhere near the 20 years that we've spent elsewhere to get, in my opinion, much less actually done. So if we turned around very quickly to what would Iran do? Well, of those three points, they would do the exact opposite. We already mentioned earlier that they have no regard for human life, and if it gets them better publicity, they'd happily kill as many of their own people as they possibly could, which obviously then kind of it doesn't lead into. But it also kind of displays the lack of capability that they have countries that would do that to their people generally don't have people that would rise to a certain standard and then allow that country to reach the capability United States. So that's I guess point number two. But the last one is the defeatism. If anybody should have defeatism, it should be Iranians who go, yeah, this whole regime thing, this is not really working. But for some reason and this, this is, this is crazy to me, there are certain people that are still cheerleading the Iranians against the United States despite all of the shortcomings, which is the exact opposite, opposite of what many in our mainstream media are doing. One story in particular happened last week and this is a great to end this segment on a little bit of a smiley fun note. Remember General Hassan Kassem Solemani, former General of Iran? He got well as Senator Kennedy would say, may he rest in pieces. I know he said that about the Ayatollah. It also still makes sense for Solemani. Well, he has a couple relatives who have been cheerleading the Iranian regime. His niece and his grand niece allegedly celebrated the attacks on U.S. soldiers and military bases that Iran launched in response to the US the interesting component of that, aside from the fact that they for some reason are lacking the defeatism that many folks at the New York Times have despite being superiorly incapable, is the fact that they're doing that from US soil. If you're not hip to this story, these two just great idiots, I going to try to elevate them sarcastically, but there's no way to do that. Kassem Solemani's niece and grand niece were celebrating the attacks on Americans in the Middle east while living in Los Angeles. This from the New York Post. While living in the United States, she, the niece, promoted the Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against American shoulder soldiers and military facilities in the Middle east, praised the new Iranian supreme Leader. You know, the gay, impotent amputee, denounced America as the Great Satan and voiced her unflinching support for the Iranian. Sorry, the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization, according to the State Department's letter confirming their arrests. Again, thank goodness, if you're not hip to the story, we're gonna not allow that. They were here on green cards and well, bye bye. Which just goes to show you the people that hate the United States of America the most, not like your Congressman Ilhan Omar or Congresswoman Aoc who do hate America but you know are refuse to leave even people who are enemies of the country literally. Which again, you may be able to make a case for Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar. But beside the point literally enemies of the country reflect refuse to leave and want to live here because of how awesome we are. We are the greatest country this world has ever known, full stop, evidenced by rescue missions like this and doubled down on by the fact that people who literally hate us won't leave is this is Monday. I'm just I'm happy to be here on a Monday with this amount of good news. TPT tbsa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We got a lot to get to coming up and get to the point including and I'm I'm mostly serious breaking WNBA news. I just it trust me. It's actually kind of interesting that coming up after the break don't go away.

Donald Trump
Would use the auto he had an autofan problem. He didn't sign. He was incapable of signing things in. So they'd follow him around with this big machine. You know what it was called? An auto fan. And he'd have the autopilot. He'd take the paper, hand it to his guys and sign it with an auto pen. Right.
- [23:16]
Joe Bob
Dude, I that is just this. I love that. So this is President Trump at the White House during Easter. He not sitting with a gaggle of reporters. Right. He's sitting at a table with kids. I think some of his own grandkids are at the table. He's signing autographs and said I think he also made the joke earlier out of the video. Like you could probably sell that on eBay for $25,000. Which is true. And he's sitting there. I love it. But this this clip to me exemplifies the difference between normal people and the TDS left. I think this is hilarious. And I'm watching the same video that the libs are watching. The libs, on the other hand, I guarantee you are watching this going can you believe that he's bringing politics with into conversation with children? Yeah, definitely. One, in a joking manner. And two, you're going to tell us that we're not going to we shouldn't bring politics into conversations with our kids. I would love to hold you to your own standard re elementary school kids and the whole gender nonsense. So hilarious and lovable clip from the President of the United States. All right. Hey, you know what happens when there's lots of points to get to. Well, we've got to get to the point. That's just what we have to do.
- [24:39]
Charlie Kirk
Get to the point. Get to the point.
- [24:48]
Joe Bob
This. This is just in the realm of things that are hilarious. That, okay, this is going to be a very convoluted way. The director of the WHO finally, thank goodness, has weighed in on Iran. This from ABC News. WHO chief says risk of nuclear accident after airstrikes. Yeah. So, first of all, the WHO director, Director General Tedros, who's not a medical doctor. Uh, and it's also from Ethiopia, you know, because China basically controls WHO sits on the WHO board. And they're like, hey, we're giving a bunch of money to Ethiopia so that they'll be our allies in the. The big war that unfortunately is probably inevitably coming. Uh, we want the country that we gave a bunch of money to to have a doctor. Doctor on the WHO board or running the who. So, yeah, Ethiopia. Why don't you go ahead and put Tedros on this World Health Organization, which really. I really am just bringing this to remind everybody that some dude from Ethiopia was heading up the world or the World Health Organization, because, you know, Ethiopia just generally known in common discussion as a beacon of medical intervention and new technology. Those folks from Ethiopia just really are on top of the newest, latest medical information. Anyways, he warned that US Strikes on or near Iranian nuclear facilities could trigger a nuclear accident with devastating health impacts lasting for generations. And I hate to be crass about this, but. Oh, no, you're. You're telling me Iran's gonna be further devastated by the destruction of their own nuclear or enriched uranium? Shucks. Darn it. Iranian officials also accused the US of striking near a nuclear plant four times since February 28th. Oh, D. You. You mean to tell me that countries at war or doing what you do when you're at. Oh, darn it. When you're at work. Shucks. But again, thank God the Ethiopian, not doctor WHO leads the World Health Organization, is finally weighing in on the geopolitical nature of war. £ San Tedros. All right, coming up next, people. Well, other people who are. Should pound sand is the governor of California. This got a ton of coverage yesterday, so 60 minutes. Obviously, I don't know if it still is. Actually. Let us know if you think this is the case. A couple of years ago, it would have been perfectly appropriate to say that. That 60 Minutes is the most important news show in the world. I don't know if that's true anymore. But regardless, 60 Minutes did a whole deep dive into California's bullet train, the high speed rail. California's high speed rail is commonplace in many countries. Will the U.S. will it track in the U.S. spoiler alert. No. And the main thing I want to point out by this is the fact that CBS, sorry, that 60 Minutes is now also covering it. Probably because they think the guy at the top of it, Governor Hairspray, is going to run for president, which he clearly is. Now, we usually don't have clips in relation to the get to the Point segment, but I thought one of the clips from the 60 Minutes piece last night was just too good that we needed to play it. So this is, I believe, cut 17 from 60 minutes regarding the bullet train that is now a regular train to nowhere. Cut seven. I think that the California high speed rail nightmare is the probably quintessential example of government waste and mismanagement. You say this needs to stop? Needs to stop. Congressman Vince Fong, a Republican from Bakersfield, sits on the House Transportation Committee. He says that when California voters first approved high speed rail, the promise and price tag were more marketing campaign than realistic projection. We're now in 2026. There are no trains, there's no track laid. It's a complete bait and switch. If I vote for a mansion in Malibu by next year and someone says, actually, you know what, in five years we're going to have a doghouse in Modesto, how do things go so off the rails? The business plan that was put out in 2008 was very theoretical. You know, this is what we think is going to happen. And it became very clear that they didn't have the specifics. It worked. It worked out. The fact that 60 Minutes is doing this, I think carries some significant weight. I think there are bigger forces at play amongst the libs who really think that Governor Newsom's record is not going to play out in his favor. And I would think that those people are right. And I know I've mentioned this a number of times on the show. I can build. Sorry, I cannot build a high speed rail for half the price. California taxpayers are looking for a deal. I can build just as much, not rail, for a fraction of the cost. And if I like the analogy the 60 Minutes guy used, if the analogy as well, you promised a beachfront house in Orange county or Los Angeles, and now you've got a dog house in Modesto. I can do the same thing. I can promise healthcare facilities in Los Angeles which actually mean they're going to be in Newport Beach. And by health Care facilities. I mean, my mansion. I can do that, too. Okay. All I'm saying is I am also capable of duping the taxpayers and I can do it for less. So there's that. All right, this. Wow. Speaking of California. So this. This actually would be related to California, but isn't technically, but it may well be. California, if you're not familiar, has a pooping problem. And what I mean to say by that is that homeless people just poop on the street indiscriminately. Really just everywhere. Almost witnessed it yesterday with my family at a dog park. Don't need to get into that story right now. Maybe we will a little bit later. TPT if you'd like me to tell it, but not exactly relevant to what we're talking about here. This from Breitbart. Let's see. Toilet Troubles plague Artemis 2 as it speeds towards the moon. You probably have already heard about this, but the toilet issues have been an ongoing theme on the spaceship carrying those brave Americans and Canadians. For some reason, I don't know why we have. That's beside the point. Artemis 2 mission carrying four astronauts on the first crude flight around the moon since Apollo 1753 years ago, are encountering ongoing toilet troubles. The Orion spacecraft, including difficulties dumping waste. I'm not going to say that word. And other expo. Things that you expel from your body. Blocking the vent line. Reports of mysterious odor since the bathroom. Shortly since after. Shortly since. Shortly after launching. Prompting NASA to instruct the crew members to rely on backup collection bags while the engineers work to resolve the issue. Now, while this is, I guess, funny, I don't know, poopy humor is somewhat funny. And people this makes headlines. I will say this. Of the problems to have, at least it's this, right? Like nobody wants to have any problems. But I'd rather be the toilet and the bathroom than, I don't know, the thrusters or somebody more acquainted with the terminology of the necessary components of the rocket. Fill in the blank. Right. Thank goodness. It's the toilet. What? What? You know what the Iranians would have trouble with on this thing? The rocket. The whole thing. Just. Yeah, Everything. Americans. What I'm saying ultimately is we kick so much, but that the biggest problem we have on the furthest mission away from the planet is the toilets. Is it optimal? No. Will I accept it? There are bigger problems to have. Um, all right, as promised. I don't want to not get to this because it feels necessary. Yes, I did just kill a mosquito with my zapper. Uh, Mosquito got in the studio. And usually I'd wait till a break. But I had my opportunity and I took it. Much like the President of the United States. That mosquito is as good as gone. Which is what the Chicago WNBA team said to Angel Reese. How's that for a transition? Now you might think that this is completely irrelevant, but no, I actually do think this matters somewhat. The Chicago sky traded the fourth forward, Angel Reese, who you may be familiar with because she's known for getting into big skirmishes with many people around the wnba. Specifically, Caitlin Clark traded her to the Atlanta Dream on Monday in exchange for two first round draft picks in 2027, 2028 plus a second round pick in 2020, second round swap pick. I'm not even sure what that means in 2028. Angel Reese is one of the biggest names in the wnba, probably right beneath Caitlin Clark. Her team last year went 10 and 34. In other words, they stunk. And the biggest name on the team that stunk for some reason is still one of the biggest names in the wnba. I bring this up specifically because the pretend like we all care about the WNBA has to come to an end sooner or later. Financially. The WNB, the WNBA just increased the minimum salary from like $600,000 to like $250,000 for a league that really doesn't get a ton of watch time. Has it increased? Yes. Has it increased because of Caitlin Clark? Yes. And is Caitlin Clark for some reason like the villain in the wnba? Yes. Which is all all crazy. But the bottom line here is reality is eventually going to rear its truthful head. Not ugly head, truthful head here and show that the WNBA is not a sustainable business model. For years they have lost millions and millions of dollars and still are pushing to pay their players more, pretending that the prominence that they have is exponential versus what it actually is. Why I think this is interesting is because I got several updates on my phone. I've got all the news apps that just ding my phone constantly all day because I'm trying to stay up on what's going on. For some reason I got six push notifications that a subpar player on a dink team was traded to another player. Again in the service of pretending that the WNBA has any sort of relevance now. Am I trying to be dismissive of the wnba? Not necessarily. If you want to watch, that's totally fine. I think Caitlin Clark is incredibly fun to watch and pretending that the reality is not what it is is silly in any context. Right. Politically speaking, but also in the wnba. So that's that That's a lot of getting to the point that we had to do. Holy cow. Didn't leave a ton of time for official business, but again, a lot. A lot of important things to discuss. So, you know, know it's. It takes a toll. Official business coming up after the break. Don't go away.

Charlie Kirk
Are we at a festival? Are we at a rock concert? No, this is November Village for a protest. Come on. Let me tell you, when you're taking down the patriarchy, you got to make sure you have, like, mermaid sushi pictures, because the patriarchy goes down when we have pictures of women as mermaid sushi pieces. Let's see what else we got. Yeah, if you came here and you're not stoned, we got them all right here. Make sure when you leave the protest, you have plenty of rocks to prove that capitalism always wins. Thank you. All free of mind by using your brain.

Donald Trump
Peace.

Joe Bob
I love that. I. I have long had this idea of ironic woke gear because ironic woke year, I think, is funny. And what I mean by that is, do you know how many he him mugs T shirts I'm given by friends and family? Because they think it's hilarious, right? I think that's. That stuff is very funny, and I think there's a market for it. I think you can sell ironic woke gear at, you know, a Trump rally or something. People. People think it's hilarious because it is hilarious. It's silly and stupid that people actually think that. So having a he him mug ironically is funny. And also I think I could take that very same product and bring it to the no Kings protest and also sell the same thing, but they'll. They'll take it serious. That's my business idea. Just have a bunch of inventory. That's ironic for conservatives because we're sane people, but serious for libs because they're insane people and you profit on both sides. I think this is a winning business strategy, as evidenced by this guy who po pointed out that all the socialists seem to be doing some capitalistic activity there selling stuff. Holy cow. Would you look at the time? All right, let's get to. Oh, it's official business time to official business right now. Official business is when officials make statements about their business, which makes it our official business. This official business squeaks by because election denier Stacey Abrams does not actually hold any political office. But we're. We're sending her a lifeline because she's just too darn funny or at least fun to make fun of. This is Stacy Stacey Abrams on the Save act, in other words, making sure voters can vote. Sorry, let me rephrase that. Here is election denier Stacey Abrams. But remember, it doesn't matter that she's an election denier because she's on the right side. Right. Still has not conceded the governor's race to Brian Kemp, by the way, from, like, six years ago. Anyways, here's that cut in official business.

Cut 6 is very real. And in elections that are decided on the margins, voter suppression comes together, whether it's ending mail in voting, using citizenship proof, although every citizen has to, you have to prove your citizenship to get on the rolls today, these more restrictive policies all come together to make it harder for average people to be heard. If you're a senior, if you're rural, if you're disabled, if you're a student, if you're a person of color. Those are five populations that when these bills and these rules and these executive orders come to fruition, shave enough points off of elections that Republican authoritarians can gain the outcome.

And again, I don't know if it. I don't know what this says about me. I. I just think that minorities are smart enough to get IDs or to prove their citizenship. Right? That's the restricting component. Proving your citizenship, proving that you're eligible to vote for the thing that you're voting for. Um, hey, we don't have a ton of time, so let's get to one more. This is the most bizarre senator out there. This is Senator Fetterman torching his own party. Cut. I've described someone, Someone asked me, you know, who's the leader of the Democratic Party? I said, no, that's tds. That's Trump Derangement Syndrome. You know, our party is increasingly defined by the exact opposite of what, what Trump says. I said that Trump could come out with for ice cream and lazy sundaes. You know, we, as Democrats, we would decide we have to vote that down. And that's. That's a bad thing. I mean, now, I've always, I always agreed I'm going to follow what I think is right. I think President Trump should do that. Free ice cream sundaes. That. How about I support that as federal policy? That has been official business. Hey, we've got Meltdown Monday coming up, which is going to be fun. So stick, Stay tuned, stick around till after the break. We'll be right back. Don't go away. Foreign.

So tell me why. Why do you appreciate the United States? Because Americans say, I don't like this apple because it's not Organic. There is no apple in Cuba. I don't like this milk. It's not whole milk. There is no milk in Cuba. I don't like this beef because it's not picanha. I don't like Other like, I don't like. I don't like. You need a real problem because in us you are blessed. You have everything you need. In us,

Joe Bob
Cubans are incredibly based. The. The Cubans, every single Cuban that I've met here in this country who've come here as a refugee or some way legally, hopefully, has been like, the most like, hey, hey, you. You don't like this non organic apple? At least you have an apple. Communism gives us zero apples. I'd rather be, you know, complaining about the type of apple that I have than not having an apple whatsoever. That's pretty classic. All right, it is Monday, so when libs meltdown. Kind of like the Wicked Witch of the west from the movie, not from the dumb stage play. And yes, I did call wicked dumb because it is. But we don't have time to get into it right now. Wow. Talk about a tangent. On a tangent. On a tangent. When things melt down, when libs meltdown, it is Meltdown Monday. Meltdown Monday. Meltdown Monday. Happy Meltdown Monday. Today, again, one of my favorite ones. I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna, I'm gonna change it up a little bit. Producer Glenn I'm gonna go with sat nine here. This is a lib senator, Idaho state senator, saying things that are just so not true that it, it's, it's painful. But of course, it falls into the category of meltdown. Cut nine.

We stand instead of parents when your children walk into our clothes classroom. They become ours. And we listen to their fears, we dry their tears. We celebrate their successes. And yes, we find a new way when they fail. And as you know, throughout this country, teachers have stood in the line of fire to shield your children. And they would do it in a heartbeat. Because those kids in that classroom, they're ours. They're ours too.
- [45:36]
Joe Bob
No, the f. They are not. I can understand some people making the argument, well, that's not what she meant. Oh, but it is. I would I love for teachers to cooperate with the parents to take ownership of the child's future. Yes, it is a collaborative effort in so many ways. It takes a village to raise a child. But that kid is not your kid. That kid is my kid. Said every single parent who cares about the future of their kid. That doesn't mean that there aren't you know adults that'll help along the way, aid in the path to success, hopefully live their kids. But to say when your kid walks in the classroom, they are ours and therefore use that to say now we will decide what's best for them. Pound sand. And in case that was unclear, I don't know why it would have been because I'm just going to repeat it. Pound sand you crazy person. Wow. I wasn't expecting for that to make me that angry. But that's especially too because the teachers unions are just there. There are some incredible government school teachers out there. I know them. The unions that represent those government school teachers are among the worst organizations on the planet. They do not advocate for the kids. They advocate for themselves by way of getting as much as they possibly can while failing kids. Those kids are not your kids. Those are my kids.

Joe Bob
explicit verbiage. If you think otherwise, I'll say we are on YouTube and we're on other places online. But this also goes on actual tv. So we got to be a little bit careful about how we say things. But know that I'm angry. All right. Hey, mailbag. Coming up after the break. Appreciate you sticking around, tuning in. TBT tbsa.com is the email address. We'll be right back. Don't go away.

Joe Bob
Good. Is it advisable to build a jet engine on a boat in your garage? No. But what are dreamers made of if not building a propane powered jet propulsion thing on a boat in your garage? Would I advise people to do that? No. Do I understand the inclination to want that? Yes, I do. TBT tpc.com is the email address if you'd like to send us along your emails.
