Coming up tonight, the very humble assessment from a comedian on very, very nuanced and complex global international affairs. Also a turning point. USA street reporter Savannah Hernandez, journalist gets assaulted in Minnesota because the left is violent. I repeat, the left is violent. Eric Swalwell unfortunately has suspended his bid for governor of California. Among a bunch of news, this was a jam packed weekend. We will try to get to as much of it as possible on the show tonight. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. Also, if we have time, I promise we will get to late and breaking Katy Perry news which is again ridiculous, but it is kind of funny and hilarious. Maybe we'll get to it. Honestly, we probably won't because like I said, jam packed weekend. We're not even going to get to the cultural stuff that happened at Coachella. Maybe we'll talk about that a little bit later on in the week because there's too much news to get to before we get to any of it. I got to remind you, TPTP USA.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms. And if those emails are disgusting, vile and just downright nasty, the chances of us reading it on the show actually increase by about 63%. I can't give a perfect definitive percentage of the increased probability of your email being read, but again, like I said, Roughly 63, maybe 64%. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Time to get into the news of the day on a Monday and what a weekend it was. First, we're going to start off in Iran. Like, I'm sure every show that you've been watching today has been talking about. J.D. vance, the vice President, United States, went to Islamabad in Pakistan, which somehow Pakistan came out as the brokers of peace, or lack of peace between the United states and Iran. J.D. vance, the vice President, United States, went to Islamabad, Pakistan, to discuss the ongoing conflict with the Islamic extremists that run the country of Iran. Uh, you probably already know that. They discussed it for 21 hours. Uh, JD then came out and gave a little bit of a press conference in which he announced the conclusion of these negotiations.
J.D. Vance
This is cut 15 at it now for 21 hours. And we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on. And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.
Joe Bob
Now, in a second, we're going to get into what. I think this actually tells us what we can glean from the idea that the Iranians do not want peace, even though we really just have one main request. And by request, I mean demand. But I did like how JD Said there, yeah, we did not come to agreement, and that. That's. That's more a problem for Iran than it is for us, which subtle, but definitely hinting at how much more powerful the United States military is than that of Iran. So after JD Gets out of these negotiations, they immediately take off in the plane and leave. The Pakistanis were kind of like, oh, the talks are ongoing, and they're still. But J.D. had enough. He said, all right, this is. This is the line in the sand that you're going to say absolutely no to. Fine, We're. We're out. Witkoff, Kushner, and Vice President Vance then got on their plane and left. President Trump then gave a little bit of a press conference or a gaggle outside of Air Force One Sunday night, in which he said, effectively, what everybody knows to be that one line in the sand that we will not allow Iran to cross this cut.
President Trump
I think Iran is in very bad shape. I think they're very desperate. We had a meeting that lasted 21 hours. We understand the situation better than anybody, and Iran is in very bad shape. And just so you understand, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. We'll not have. There is no way that they're going to get. They still want it. And, and they made that clear the other night. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
Joe Bob
So, President Trump, they're saying what pretty much every politician who's being serious about the outlook of Iran has been saying for decades now. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. Conservative, liberal down the middle, everybody thinks Iran having a nuclear weapon is a bad idea. Now, of course, there's some discussions and some debates and some arguments over what extent the United States should play in not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon. But I think everybody can come to the consensus of we don't think this is a good idea for Iran to have a nuke. The Obama administration thought that that was also the case. Remember when John Kerry literally ran after the guy he was negotiating with in Iran or on behalf of Iran, which is not a good negotiating standpoint. Basically, the Obama deal wasn't working. President Trump then assessed the situation and said, okay, well, if this is our goal to not let Iran get a nuclear weapon, then this is how we should proceed. So in a second, I want to discuss. Well, okay, so what does this mean? What does this tell us that Iran will not back down from this one? In my opinion, relatively simple line in the sand that the United States has drawn this simple demand, hey, just don't, don't try to get a nuclear weapon. Now, of course, the argument that they're making, which is ridiculous as well, we're trying to do nuclear power. Now, they have all the oil that they could ever need. So that's. Anybody making that argument that that's not a serious argument. They're trying to make a nuclear weapon. That is the whole drive of Iran. And the fact that they did not capitulate to that one specific point does tell us something about who we're negotiating with. But before we get into that specifically, there was a big, long article which I'm sure you've heard about, but we didn't necessarily talk about. A ton here on this show was from the New York Times, and it was kind of detailing the deliberation of Trump and his cabinet on whether or not to strike Iran. Now, a lot has been made from a lot of different political sides about the involvement of Israel in this particular discussion. I think it should be pointed out something that a lot of the people who really, really dislike Israel for Whatever reason, the United States said what they said was completely farcical. Rubio even said it was BS But I want to dig into this New York Times article just a little bit so we can kind of set the stage of why I think these negotiations falling apart with Iran not wanting to capitulate on the one red line that we have actually says something very important about the adversary that we have now. To start it off, they talk about the New York Times talks about BB went into the White House, gave the president a presentation. Uh, they then the United States and the US Officials, the U. S. Military apparatus then dissected the presentation and then broke it up into four different parts. First they said was decapitation, killing the ayatollah. Second was crippling the Iranian capacity to project power and, and threaten its neighbors. Third, this is again dissecting what was in the Israeli presentation was the popular uprising inside of Iran. And fourth was regime change with secular leaders installed to govern the country. The US Then said, well, the last two parts of that there's going to be an uprising guaranteed according to Israel presenting to the President of the United States and that a new secular leader was going to be installed in regime chamber. They said that was totally farcical in the New York Times article. All of that is to say that the United States, like they do with many other countries, took in the information and then decided what makes sense and what doesn't. And according to us, and according to this article from the New York Times, President Trump weighed the assessment. Regime change, he said would be their problem. In other words, uh, the folks that are making the claim why Israel is controlling the President of the United States. I mean, not according to this article and not according to everybody familiar with the situation. President Trump again took in information and then assessed it and said, eh, this part makes sense. This part doesn't make sense. Which kind of squashes the idea of, oh, Israel is controlling the President of the United States. I mean, outside of the fact that President Trump doesn't seem like a guy who's really controlled by anybody, uh, but does seem to be pretty deliberative when it comes to making big decisions like this. He says regime change will be their problem. But the bottom line was that his decision whether or not to go to war with Iran did not hinge. Again, the New York Times is saying that the decision to go to war with ran did not have anything to do with, with parts three or four of Netanyahu's presentation, which again kind of reiterates the fact that no The President isn't being controlled by anybody. He's taking information and assessing what that information actually means. Mr. Trump, according to the New York Times, appeared to remain very interested in accomplishing parts one and two, killing the Ayatollah and Iran's top leaders, and demand dismantling the the Iranian military. Now, interestingly enough, there are big sections of this article that we obviously don't have time to get to. It's a 25 minute read if you really want to dig into the entire thing. But towards the bottom, when you're making the actual decision on whether or not to go, I think it's worth noting that the New York Times says when it was his turn to speak, Mr. Rubio offered more clarity, telling the president, if our goal is regime change and an uprising, we, we shouldn't do it. Which appears the President accepted that as a goal that we shouldn't try to attain. But if the goal, Rubio continues says, if the goal is to destroy Iran's missile program, that goal we can achieve. Ultimately, President Trump made the call to go for it. Now, again, all of this is contextualized in the idea that everybody thinks Iran having a nuclear weapon is a bad thing. President Trump then took information from a bunch of different resources, including our own, and then made a decision. The reason I bring that article up is because there's a lot of just noise going around, really everywhere. But as you read this piece and as you kind of get into the mindset, or at least best we can get into the mindset of somebody in the room and in particular President Trump, it appears to me this is exactly how a president should behave. He went around the room, got opinions from everybody, considered all of those opinions, and then made a decision in which he thought was the best route forward. The guy with the most information seems to be, in this case, according to all of the evidence here, acting the most pragmatically, not being beholden to the whims of some other country, not acting irrationally and just firing things off, no taking in information, considering it as you would want a leader to do, and then ultimately making a decision that admittedly is very difficult. So what does this say about the decision that President Trump made in relation to how they responded to JD Vance's negotiations and saying, absolutely not? Well, what it tells us is this. The red line that the Iranians could not cross is, in practical, logical, rational terms, seems very, very easy to go. Okay, so hold on. You're saying that I can stay in. I'm speaking as if I were an Iranian leader. I can stay in charge and I can oppress my people and I can get very, very rich off of the oil that we have. The only thing that we can't do is develop a nuclear weapon. Sounds good. Sounds good to me. That is what I believe. And maybe you agree, maybe you don't. Tbt@tpusa.com, a rational person would do, but what it says is that, well, maybe we're not dealing with rational people. Maybe we are dealing with people who prioritize this idea of Islamic takeover of the entire world instead of. Of preserving their own power, which is a very, very different thing. Because, look, I get it. I totally understand the intervention skeptics. I totally understand the argument of, well, the death to America. They say that all the time. They say that about anybody. They don't. They don't actually mean it. I get that argument. I get the idea that when the United States gets involved, people think, well, generally things tend to turn out worse. And there's lots of examples of that happening. I get the idea. I understand the argument, well, this isn't an entirely necessary thing to do. But of course, the president, who again, has more information, thought that it was. And he came to that conclusion in a very, very pragmatic, deliberative way. And like I've said a number of times on this show, I kind of trust the guy. I kind of trust his gut. It's worked out well for, for not only him, but the United States and really the world at large time and time again. And just sorry, side tangent point, the lib media, the lefties that are talking about this are pretty hilariously having to flip flop back and forth between their positions because originally they're like, this is a war of choice. Iran wasn't anywhere near getting a nuclear weapon. And now that President Trump will win, President Trump decides, hey, we want to pull back or we want to push forward. They kind of go back and forth between they were nowhere near getting it and President Trump can't finish the job. The whole taco. Trump always chickens out. Okay, wait, wait. Which is it? Nowhere near getting a nuclear weapon or is President Trump chicken out? You can't make both arguments at the same time. The bottom line is the advanced negotiations in the assessment that I, as the generic smart aleck who's trying to look at this as objectively as possible, were to act. What those negotiations said to me is we are dealing with people who prioritize fanaticism over their best interest. How do you deal with a dangerous bad actor that Refuses to act in their own tangible benefit. Well, with force. Right. This has been a long standing theme of the United States. We do not negotiate with terrorists. We'll negotiate with anybody who can take a logical, rational, pragmatic approach. But if you're not going to at all even engage in those types of conversations, unfortunately, the United States has to exercise the power that it has. Is it cultural, the idea of, well, they're. They just say debt to America. Well, yeah, but it also seems like something they actually believe in, evidenced by the falling apart of the negotiations with J.D. vance, who, by the way, remember, is the most skeptical of American intervention abroad. So all of those things combined lead me, a dumb guy who's just trying to take in information and come to some sort of sensible analysis of it, is that President Trump seems to be vindicated in the idea of, hey, we need to do something about this problem. The reason being is because they are not rational in any way, shape or form. Because if they were, they'd simply just accept, hey, yeah, we'll have, you know, total unending power in this area. We just don't have to do this one thing. And considering the fact that, you know, it seems that it was necessary or is necessary, the question then becomes, well, when should we do it? If something is necessary, why wait? If you have a illness that is going to get really, really bad, you should never wait before you take care of it. And interestingly enough, going back to that New York Times article, that's kind of the position that Secretary Hegseth adopted. The New York Times says Mr. Hegseth adopted a narrow position. They would have to take care of the Iranians eventually, so we might as well do it now. So here's where we are. The President today, outside of the Oval Office, talked to the media very briefly and reiterated the one thing that we need out of these negotiations, and we're standing firm with it, as evidenced by the President saying exactly that. Cut 17.
President Trump
The fact that they will never have a nuclear weapon. Iran, you mark in it down. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And we agreed to a lot of things, but they didn't agree to that. And I think they will agree to it. I'm almost sure of it. In fact, I am sure of it. If they don't agree, there's no deal. There'll never be a deal. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And we're going to get the dust back. We'll get it back. Either we'll get it back from them
Joe Bob
or we'll take it to A guy I'm speaking about myself, a guy that is just trying to make sense of all of the things and somebody who doesn't like, like conflict. Very conflict diverse. This seems to be the most pragmatic approach taken by again, the guy who has the most information and is clearly very deliberative. Now, even though, you know, obviously nobody wants conflict, a couple things are just true. One being the best and the biggest, which the United States is, does come with responsibilities. Like it or not, there has to be a mediator and it best be us. Then other people who, you know, we may or may not trust as far as we could throw them to our way of life is best sustained through stability. That just is true right now. You could make the argument, well, this is not causing stability. Yeah. But it's preventing further instability down the road. Which leads us to the last point, which is a point that Jordan Peterson made very, very often. If you have to fight a dragon, best to go and fight him at his lair before he comes to your village. All of these things, all of this information that we're kind of taking in together collectively and I would love to hear any of your emails tpt USA.com with any of your thoughts. We're just trying to make sense of it all. And like I've said from the very beginning of this, we all elected President Trump because of his decision making and as evidenced by this article from the New York Times, which again does not like the President, he seems to be doing it in the most deliberative way possible. Which regardless of what you think of the decisions is exactly how you want the most powerful person in the world to make those very, very difficult decisions that are necessary because somebody has to do it. TPTP USA.com is the email address. I again I'm expecting an entire just all over the map of emails whether or not this is a good thing, bad thing, how we're assessing it. You can even take shots at me. What am I missing? Tptpusa.com is the email address. Would like to hear any and all thoughts, any opinions that you may have on this. Just, just, just, just trying to break it down as, as best we can here and would love your help doing so. TPT USA there we're we're gonna be for the time being done talking about Iran because there's a lot of news that we do have to get to gotta cover especially Savannah Hernandez getting brutally attacked by some freaks in Minnesota. We'll get to that and getting to the point and I think she'll Be on to discuss with us tomorrow. TPT tpsa.com is the email. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

President Trump
Hey, I just found a bag of masks back.
Joe Bob
What is it?
President Trump
Bag of math? Yeah, on the sidewalk back there.
Joe Bob
Is it still over there? No, I've got it.
President Trump
Yeah. You want me give it to you? I wasn't sure what it was. I hadn't really done any since college. But I did a little bit and sure enough, that's what it was.
Joe Bob
What's the matter? That's hard to do.
President Trump
Yeah, that's what I was saying. She did a little too. Love you. Yeah.
Joe Bob
Yeah. The only problem with that otherwise hilarious sketch is that he said, oh, she did a little math too. As a guy married to a woman, not big fans of math, just generally speaking. Not everybody. Just generally speaking. That's where the plot breaks down for me. Also, while as funny as this is, maybe not the best idea to prank the cops and a little bit of math, like it is funny, I wouldn't recommend doing this sort of thing. Speaking of things that I would not recommend, don't Go freaking protesting ice in Minnesota. We'll get to that when we get to the points. Lots of points to get to. It's time to get to those points. Get to the point.

Joe Bob
You know, I try to keep a more rosy, optimistic outlook on things, but gosh, several instances over the last couple months have made me very, very angry, like, seething, burning, mad. There's some obvious ones. And this is one of those obvious instances. My good friend and your. She's come on the show a number of times and will likely come on tomorrow. And making no promises, very, very busy today. TBSA frontlines reporter Savannah Hernandez. This is from the Minnesota Star Tribune for arrested outside of Whipple Building where Turning Point reporter was attacked. You may have seen the full video. I know a lot of people have been talking about it. I'm going to show you just a very, very brief clip of the thing that sent me into a little bit of a rage this weekend, which again, is difficult to do, and also, you know, compartmentalize the rosy attitude that we generally have on things. This is kind of, this is a lighter take of the news of the day. And then you got, you got this stuff. Here's that video. Very, very brief cut of Savannah getting attacked by woke freaks in Minnesota. Cut. Oh, the, the left is violent. And you know, maybe I got a, I got a really interesting message from somebody who I don't necessarily think sees the world the same as us here, and maybe, maybe it's worth discussing later on in the mailbag segment. But the left is violent. And the reason that they're violent is because they're true, trying to square what they believe should be with what actually is. And when that doesn't work, you resort to violence. And this is the unfortunate reality of standing up and defending truth. I, yeah, Texas van immediately. I, I'll let her talk about it when she comes on to discuss. I hope that these freaks get hit with the book, metaphorically speaking, rhetorically speaking, but also may, I don't know, maybe, maybe a big book just, you know, hits them a little bit. I don't, I'm not saying I want that. I'm just saying if there's also a physical book that happened to hit the man, encouraging violence because that's not what we do. Wow. Yeah, I, that got me very mad this weekend. TBT tbsa.com if you have any thoughts, comments, comments, concerns, what did you think when you saw this video that came out over the weekend? All right, point number two. Wow, these are downers. Oh, this you know, maybe. Maybe this isn't. In unbelievably shocking news. According to no one, Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor. This. This is from Politico. Swalwell suspends his gubernatorial campaign. His governor campaign. I don't know why they said governor campaign amid sexual misconduct allegations and evidence and videos. Uh, you know, I hate to. I hate to dance on. Dance on the misfortunes of our enemies, but, you know, who could have seen this coming? Besides everyone? You're. Hold on. Wait a minute. You're telling me that the sitting U.S. congressman who had an affair with a Chinese spy also had some other sexual impropriety in his background? Get outta town with that. I. I cannot believe that. What really should irritate me and everybody about this is everybody on the lib side knew this. They all knew that this is the kind of guy who he was. And now that it's come out, now they have to pile on, oh, yeah, we're calling for his resignation. Yeah, real brave of you when you knew that this was happening all along. There's no way this was a secret in live circles in Washington, D.C. also, he's now facing calls to resign from Congress. Very briefly, I. I think it was 2019, remember, Eric Swalwell ran for president, like, just as nobody congressman and from California decided he was going to run for president in the 2020 election. And I was at a. I was at an event, and it was somebody that worked with my wife. I was talking to their husband, and we're just talking about, you know, the news of the day. And he's like, yeah, I don't really follow politics very much, but I. I did go to high school with a guy who's running for president. And I was like, really? Like, you don't seem 90,000 years old. There's no way you could have gone to high school with Joe Biden. But he's like, no, no, no. Guy named Eric Swalwell. He's a congressman. I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, pretty plugged in. I know Eric Swalwell is. He's like, yeah, he's running for president. And this guy then went on to say, you know, I don't really follow politics that much, but it's crazy that somebody who went to high school is running for president. And what's even crazier is everybody thought he was an idiot. And this is a guy. This is random guy that I had met 2019 at a random part. I've not seen or talked to this guy since, but I could tell you that at this party, at this event that I was at, whatever, you know, talking to my wife's coworker's husband was like, yeah, I happened to go to high school with this guy and literally all of us thought he was a moron. And it's crazy that he's running for president now. Yeah. Fast forward seven years later and this should come as a shock to absolutely no one. You know, just I'm looking at the time we're going to get to this next one. So that's that. Swalwell is out. Good riddance. Ostil a. Bye bye. And there's a small part of me that wishes he would have stayed in and fought it because it would allow us to pile on him more, more and split the race up even more among your libs. But that's that next point here. I want to get to this New York City and this might be the last one we have time to get to because there's just, there's, there's too much and too much to say about all the things that are too much. This is Mayor Mumbai again. I'm always open to email suggestions on how you pronounce his name. This from the California Post and I guess the New York Post. It depends on where you're reading. It depends on your geolocation. They send you the California Post and New York Post. In my understanding it's the same thing effectively. I'm not entirely sure why they're two separate things, but NYC is first city owned grocery store under lefty Mayor Mahemdheni to open in East Harlem per a report but also I guess per the mayor himself. This is a clip saying the same while saying exactly this headline. He's very excited. In his first hundred days he did a rally with Bernie and a bunch of the other socialists saying all of the good things that he's about to do. And by good things, I mean terrible. Cut 7. During our campaign we promised New Yorkers that we would create a network of five city owned grocery stores, one in each borough. Today we make good on that promise. I am proud to announce that we will open every single one of these stores by the end of our first term. And the first one will open next year. Okay, so this is one of those things where I hate to see this happen to my good friends who happen to live in New York City. But I. Man, was it George Will that I think was on Bill Maher saying, I hope, I hope he gets to do all of the things that he thinks he wants to do because that will just expose the lies of socialism to the rest of the country. Every 20 years or so we need a kick in the pants to go oh this doesn't work. Just like every government owned grocery store from Kansas City to anywhere usa, it has not worked. Not only has it not worked and not been able to source the groceries that people would then buy or be given out for free. I don't even know it forces the people that don't want to compete the government out of the city. So if this actually comes to fruition and he actually gets to open up government owned grocery stores, this will be disastrous and maybe we need to see what disaster looks like so that we don't go down similar roads around the rest of the country. So there's that. Don't have time to get to any more of the points we got got official business coming up and want to leave some time for that. So we'll be right back after the break. TPTPUSA.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, what are your thoughts about the violent left acting as the violent left always does and attacking tagging our friends of Ann Hernandez. TBTPUSA.com with those emails. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

positive identification of the body.
President Trump
Yes, of course. No, I've never seen that woman before.
Joe Bob
Yeah, you want to talk about it's so the the never ending additions to the Omni cause get to be hilarious when you clump in. Like the people that are like pro Iran, like the libs like the lib women that are like, ah, up with feminism also. Yeah. Up with Iran, who hates feminists and forces women to wear the beekeeper costume and do all that. This is just funny. Let's just say. Why can't I just say it's just funny? Why do I have to go into, like, the deeper analysis of cultures and the way that the Omni cause is used to batter? It's funny. It's funny. Sketch. All right. Hey. When officials say official things, it becomes our business, which makes it what we like to call around here, official business. Up first in official business is what we ended our last segment on, Getting to the Point with morons Howard and Dan. There was one email that I really, really liked and I forgot the new pronunciation of the New York City Islamic socialist mayor. Ugandan Islamic socialist mayor. I forget what it was. Let us know tptpc.com any pronunciations on. On more on Zanny's name here. He mocks Margaret Thatcher's famous warnings about socialisms during his hundred day addresses, which is like irony layered in irony. He's saying, he's mocking. He's mocking. True criticisms of himself that will come to fruition eventually if he were to get his socialist way. This is cut 6. I have thought often of the Margaret Chatter's quote, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess. Yeah. Okay, there's no further comment here. Like, what, What? Good luck. Again, I say this affectionately to my friends who live in New York City who are going to have to deal with the fallout of the Ugandan Muslim Communists. It sucks. But also, maybe the rest of the country needs a reminder that none of this works. All right, hey, Moving on to continued calls for the President's removal using the 25th Amendment, which is just. It's. It's just hilarious. It's. It's like the libs don't even read their own papers. Like, we talked about it in segment one. We're not going to reiterate it and bring it back up, but the President, as outlined by the New York Times in his decision making re Iran, regardless of what he truths out or regardless of what he tweets, he, you know, runs in a lot of ways, campaigns, the outward perspectives is more of a populace and then governs like a pragmatist in so many ways, just evidenced over and over and over again. Like, for example, wasn't a big fan of the weird Jesus AI tweets like that, like, I wish he didn't do that. But also as evidenced by the libs own paper, the New York Times seems to be a very deliberative, pragmatic guy. And yet the libs apparently don't read that. Here is lib Rep. James Watkinshaw talking about how important it is that President Trump must be removed via the 25th amendment. Watch this cutting. I do think it is important to lay out for the American people and the country that the 25th Amendment is an option in the Constitution. And I want those cabinet members to have to lay awake at night wondering why they allow. This unhinged, reckless president who's putting the American people at risk has clearly lost his fastball, if he ever had it, to remain in control. Yeah, it's probably because those cabinet members are in those cabinet meetings with the president in which he goes around and earnestly asks for their opinion. He goes, literally, it's very, very laid out, very, very well documented that he goes to his cabinet members. He goes, hey, what do you think about this? And there are people that disagree, that say, I don't know if this is a good idea. He goes, okay, cool. Moves on to the next one. It's very like Bill Maher, when he had dinner with President Trump, asked Bill Maher, hey, what do you think about things? And Bill Maher said, I would. Would not hold anything back. And I told him exactly how I felt about certain things. And President Trump said, okay, cool. Point taken. Thank you for sharing your opinion. And he either goes with that direction or he doesn't. This is again, a guy who's taking in information from the people that he's surrounded himself by, his cabinet members, people that he trusts. And then you've got this yahoo saying, well, the cabinet is going to lay awake at night thinking, how could we not have done something about this? And the reason that they're not doing anything is because they're like, well, this is a very considered, measured individual that takes our opinions, which doesn't happen in a lot of cases. So there's that transitioning entirely. Not that way. Nobody's transitioning here like that. Talking about from topic to topic. We do a lot of transitions, a lot of news going on that we transition from top to topic, not from gender to gender. That's not a thing. Uh, here is the increasingly lib senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly, as he effectively. I don't what I was gonna say. I don't know if he's pandering. He's clearly pandering. Here talking about, you know, the last thing that he would want on the space crew is just too many white people. That's just the word. That is the worst case scenario according to Senator Mark Kelly as his gut knife. When you're the commander, you get some say in who your other crew members are going to be. So the last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew would be 7 white guy US Navy test pilots like me. It would be a disaster. In what way? Like, how would that be a disaster? Oh, no. The most competent people who've displayed their skill and ability through this meritocratic system have ascended to the top regardless of what race. Or again, nobody cares. Nobody cares what race you are. Are you the best at the job? That should matter. Nothing else. All right, we do have time for this. This is our favorite congresswoman. And by favorite, I mean favorite to make fun of Pramila Jayapal of Washington going full blown unhinged on PMS now about President Trump. And they need to, they need to do anything they possibly can to get him out of office. Cut 10. Do you support using the 25th Amendment? If, I mean, obviously J.D. vance is not the guy to do it. This Cabinet is not going to do it.
Congressman
Oh, absolutely. I said that a week ago that we should invoke the 25th Amendment, as you point out, that is something that unfortunately, by the process we have, and there was actually a bill that was introduced, I think it was last session, by Jamie Raskin to change that process, by the way, should we ever get control of the House back. But right now, invoking the 25th Amendment requires the Vice President and then requires him to get a majority of the Cabinet. And so I have taken the position that we need to do whatever we can to get him out, impeach him, invoke the 25th Amendment, push for him to resign, whatever it is.
Joe Bob
You know what I think I like about most about that most is the idea that some PMS now host is asking a question of which she has no power over. Would you use the 25th Amendment? Yeah, I absolutely would. I don't have any sort of power to be able to even come close to initiating that process, but I would definitely do it. Hey, would you like to issue every single American cookies and ice cream for every dessert, for every meal ever and not have them gain weight, be, or have any sort of health problems? Yes, I absolutely would. That's effectively the question that he's answering. Hey, would you like to do this thing that your side would really, really like, but you have no power to ever actually do. Yes, I would. What a brave and bold stanch by Congressman Pergilla. Pramilla. Whatever. I don't care. Hey, coming up next is MAGA Monday, not Meltdown Monday. We're doing a MAGA Monday, which is very exciting. Tptpsa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away. Okay. I just, I, I. This reminds me of the way that I sometimes tease my Italian wife and her, her Italian family. It's like, oh, we're gonna go out to a nice authentic Italian restaurant and then go to the Olive Garden. And they just. It's not, She's. This is not authentic. It's. I'm sure that's how Hispanic people feel about Taco Bell. What is this? Taco. What was what? Funny. All right. Hey. Oh, this is. We haven't done a MAGA Monday in a while. Usually it's Meltdown Monday because those. Be completely honest with you. Those are more fun. It's more fun to do, to watch, to laugh at libs melting down. But instead, we're gonna do a MAGA Monday because President Trump, I think outside of any of the political stuff, ordered doordash from the White House. First time ever. Here is that clip of the President of the United States, like I said, ordering door dash and McDonald's, of all places, to the White House. Cut 12 McDonald's.
President Trump
Nice to see you.
Mood.com Advertiser
Nice to meet you.
Joe Bob
I have your DoorDash one on for you, Mr. President.
President Trump
That's very nice. Look at this. This doesn't look staged, does it? The reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000, that you didn't think it because the tax bill was so big. The refund was the biggest you've ever had. Is that a correction? It. It definitely was.
Joe Bob
Yeah.
President Trump
I, I saved over $11,000 by not having the claim. Was that surprising to you? Actually, it was very surprising. Very surprising. Great big beautiful bill. And that doesn't include overtime in your case. This is only just based on what we do. Did in terms of every other aspect of the tax bill, right? Yes, sir. So it was 11,000 saving?
Congressman
Yes.
President Trump
Isn't that incredible? And that's what it is, the tax cut. It's really, you know, we call it the great big beautiful bill. We should call it the great big beautiful tax cut bill because it's tremendous amounts of money, and that's overtime. That's Also on Social Security, as you know. Yes.
Joe Bob
You know, one of the things that I really love about President Trump is clearly this is a publicity photo op to highlight the big beautiful bill's tax cuts as evidenced by this door dash, door dash, dasher. And President Trump doesn't even like, he's like, yeah, this is a publicity, this is a photo op. This is exact. So we're going to talk about it. We're not going to like try and hide it because remember, Barack Obama would go on like in between two ferns or whatever the exact. And he would like do the whole show and at the very, very end he would plug his thing and it would be like awkward and uncomfortable. And President Trump's like, yeah, we're here, we're doing doordash because this lady saved $11,000. Isn't that awesome? He's like, yeah, he just doesn't like, clearly this is what we're doing. Let's not try to hide it. Let's just, let's talk about it because this is worth talking about also too. I cannot imagine the security a door dasher would have to go through to get a McDonald's order to the President United States. That would be, that would be a pre, that would be a long, hefty security process. But I like that. Yeah. And it does highlight the tax savings on this, the worst week of all weeks. Wednesday is tax day. And I can go on at length about why it's the worst day of the entire year every year, but we don't have time for that right now. TPTBSA.com is the email address we'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, even. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.
President Trump
Okay, we're here. Perfect. Legally, as your Realtor, I can't tell you if an area is safe or
Joe Bob
not, but there will be signs. Yeah. If you can't read it, the, the pov your realtor takes fair housing laws seriously, which is, which is crazy, by the way, man. We don't have time to go on the whole diatribe of like you, you can't tell people certain things that are very, very crucial to their decision making process on whether, where they buy a house, who they hire, all of these sorts of things. Those laws are crazy. But again, don't have time to dismantle that whole system because you got to get to your questions. Comments, concerns. In mailbag TPT USA.com I mentioned to producer Glenn that I wanted to start off very briefly, talk about this message that somebody who I don't think agrees with us. I didn't have time to like go through and look at the social media and what this person had posted seems to ask a pretty genuine question. I posted the video of Savannah getting brutally attacked by those freaks in Minnesota and said the left is violent. And they responded with, well, what about the times where the, the right has been violent? And then they evidence like Kyle Rittenhouse, who clearly was self defense and found to be self defense by a court. But the, the main premise that I tried to lay out, because I usually don't engage to a full extent, if you've gotten an email back, it's usually like, hey, thanks for pointing this out. It's not this big, you know, long correspondence because frankly, don't have time to do that usually. But I did decide to like lay it out saying, hey, look, the, the difference between the left and the right is that the left is trying to project a view of the world that isn't based in reality. Conservatives want to conserve. We understand human nature exists and we want to operate within that realm. The left, on the other hand, is trying to push a sense of reality that does not exist. And when those two things are intention, when the real world is intentioned with what you want the world to be, those will butt heads. And unfortunately, what we see so often with progressives is that they then resort to violence because they're not getting their way. And they can't get their way because that's not the way the world was designed. The world was designed with human nature in mind and you have to react accordingly instead of trying to alter human nature. And when you try to alter human nature, like pretend that a man is a woman or vice versa, that's just not, it's not ever going to work out. And tragically, a lot of people resort to, okay, well, I'm not getting my way and I want my way, therefore I'm going to resort to violence. Which is why we continue to say the left is violence. A bigger, longer discussion, if you'd like to go read Conflict Divisions by Thomas. So well, it kind of lays out the people who believe in human nature constraints versus not. But that's, that's the premise. When we're saying the left is violence, that what we're getting at is they're trying to push something that is not possible and therefore result to violence. That's not to say that there aren't, you know, people on our side that horribly commit any sort of act of violence, but it's not. It's not based in the same ideology, which again, abhor violence on any side. Don't do it. It's awful. Wow, that took up more time than I thought it was going to. But let's see. A message from. Ooh, I'm not tired. Oh, it's from Jay says about the criticism of Hakeem Jeffries. He does say, I love the show, but I have some small criticisms you mentioned your mention of Hakeem Jeffries was a bit derogatory. We all know DEI stands for discrimination, exclusion and inequality. These diversity geniuses like Akeem are trying to act like, oh, I can't read that part. Good. Good point, Jay. I appreciate that. Thank you for the email tbt tbsa.com maybe we'll get to some of these emails that we didn't get to tomorrow, but we are out of time for today. I would love to hear your thoughts on the myriad of things that we talked about, especially the Iran war and the analysis that again, simple guy trying to take it in and regurgitate. But let us know TPT tbsa.com we will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God bless America.
