More power to you California's Governor Newsom's biggest problem is actually not his record. It is in fact his wife. Also A whole civilization dies tonight. The Trump Truth Post and what is going on likely right now or not. NASA shares some unbelievable photos that we'll bring to you in our get to the Point segment segment as well as President Trump putting the Bible back in schools. All that and more coming up. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. Let me first start off by saying yes, President Trump truthed out this morning. An entire civilization will die tonight. And as my my take on the war or at least covering or giving analysis or color commentary, which is probably a weird way to describe analysis of a war generally is let's wait a little bit. Um, I'm not exactly sure what is going on right now. Anybody who says they're exactly sure what is happening right now in Iran, I, I, I, I don't know. So I'm going to let the facts play out and we'll discuss as necessary either tomorrow or the next day depending on what reporting is coming out. Is it reliable? The fog of war is real and the last thing that I would like to do to you fine folks is put you in a position to where yeah, we don't entirely know. You know, the best of my knowledge is the what you get and currently in a war where a lot of different things potentially happening are happening remains to be seen. I'm going to do my best to gather as much reliable information and then bring it to you then as opposed to speculate on what is currently happening right now. That's again, I make my living as a comedian but a little bit of journalistic integrity is what I'm trying to say is that we're bringing you here on the show. Tptpc.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns. Is that reckless and wild? Should we just be flying by the seat of our pants pulling everything off X in real time Live one I'm not entirely sure I have the chops to do that, but do. I don't know if that's entirely helpful, but, you know, open to comments, criticisms. Tptpc.com Remember, if your emails are disgusting, vile and just downright nasty, the chances of them being read on the show actually go up significantly and substantially. So Mailbag is our last segment of the day and then attempts the chance of being included in that depends on the vulgarity of your emails. TPT and@tpusa.com what I want to talk about today is, for all intents and purposes, the presumptive Lib nominee for 2028 in the presidential race. Governor Newsom in California has been doing everything he can to position himself to be the guy. Anything President Trump does, Governor Newsom takes the complete opposite side because Orange man bad. And the way that you signal to your base that Orange man bad is, well, you say Orange man bad and everybody in your base says, yes, correct, Orange man bad. We are all sheep. We have a mono thought. And anything that the orange man does is therefore clearly bad. But there's a couple problems that Governor Newsom has. One is his record. The second, interestingly enough, is his wife. And actually, I think his wife might be even the bigger problem. But first, to address one, the record, Governor Newsom is doing something that in my opinion is unbelievable. He has hired a PR firm and is going to pay them $19 million in taxpayer funds, according to the New York Post, to polish California's image. This from the New York Post. Governor Gavin Newsom is hoping to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage. I wonder how did, how did that image get tarnished? I, it's, it's hard. It just kind of happened, you know, Governor Newsom, yeah. Has been in statewide office for the last 15 years, but that, that's probably irrelevant entirely. It just, he walked in and look, look, it's tarnished. We got it. We got to fix this thing. So he's throwing millions of taxpayer money back to the New York Post at the high, at a high powered New York public relations firm. To do it for him. The Governor's Office of Business and Economic development awarded a PR powerhouse, Edelman, a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported. Edelman also does work on behalf of a bunch of different companies, Dove, Starbucks, ebay, Heineken. And they will be tasked with combating, quote, the narrative, the negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media about, end quote, about California promoting the state's economy and tourism because they're going to combat these negative who knows where these negative narratives came from? I I, I again could not tell you where this just kind of popped up and burbled up. You know, not because of any sort of factual evidence of people in San Francisco having literal poop maps to try and avoid human feces on the street, but the negative narrative just it just popped up out of nowhere. Who would have guessed where this came from? The contract begins April 6 and will run through the end of the year, which nearly, interestingly enough, coincides with the end of Governor Newsom's term in early 27. I that that's just got to be a coincidence, right? Like, there's no way that that's strategically planned to you're going to have a $20 million PR firm for the rest of your time as governor of the state. My my question though is how did they get the contract, right? California? Who boasts the idea of we love small businesses, small businesses or what we pride ourselves in the state of California? How did a major PR firm based out of New York get this contract? Because the Office of Business and Economic Development, known as Go Biz, had to legally post the request for proposals online last month. They have to solicit all of these bids from different PR firms. Hey, we are trying to polish the tarnished California reputation. Reputation. Who do you think can do the best job? Then companies submit the bid and some New York company got got the bid. Not even in California. They got the bid by saying, hey, we're going to use a bunch of small businesses in California. That's how I think they won. But ultimately, interesting. Not prioritizing Californians in California, instead going with a New York firm. The state agency, the Biz. The Go Biz Agency in California previously told an outlet that the campaign would not be around Governor Newsom himself, but instead California, quote, the campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story. The agency said the effort is about California's success, not about politics, which are the same politics that led it to the lack of success, which somehow gave way to this negative online narrative that nobody knows where it came from. A Newsom spokesperson previously told the Los Angeles Time the California business climate has falsely and maliciously been maligned against him for years. The state has every right to tell the true story. Yes, those malicious business people leaving the state because of proposed wealth taxes and taxes on their businesses, which mean elevated prices or lack of pay to their employees. Those business owners who have left the state because of the malicious business climate are in fact themselves being malicious towards the State again for the state being malicious towards them. Kind of a whole, he said, she said. When in reality, it comes back to, no, California's a terrible place to do business. Nobody who wants to do business effectively with the least amount of taxes moves here. The only reason anybody lives here is the weather's pretty nice. I'll be completely honest with you. Southern California is pretty great. Everything else, not great. Uh, let's see. The article goes on a little bit longer, but basically reiterates the same thing. This $19 million vanity project is an attempt for Governor Newsom, in my opinion, to bolster the image of California as he gets ready to enter the national spotlight in his run for the presidency. But like I mentioned at the beginning of this, interestingly enough, the horrible, awful, terrible record of the nation's poopiest state is actually not Governor Newsom's biggest problem. No, in fact, his biggest problem is his wife. There are several videos circulating around the Internet of the first person of California, not the first lady, the first partner of California, Jennifer Sibel Newsom or Siebel Newsom. I don't know how you pronounce her name. It doesn't matter. Bottom line is she goes and makes the rounds talking to a bunch of people, which I am sure has Governor Newsom, who has his eyes set on the White House, in his pantry or wherever he goes to find solace in his own home, just squealing inside, going, oh, my gosh, please don't say what it is that you're saying. We're going to go through several of the clips of the governor's Weiss, the first individual of the poopiest state in the nation, and go kind of down a little bit of a pecking order in from least crazy to absolutely the craziest thing, and then discuss the governor's fateful decision he will have to make regarding his biggest campaign problem. First up, this is the first person of California, Jennifer Seibel Newsom, talking about interviewing juveniles in San Quentin. San Quentin is the state's, I don't want to say harshest prison. It's the place where the worst of the worst go. San Quentin in California, which, interestingly, sits on some of the nicest real estate in California, but we won't get into that quite the second. But here she is telling a story about her past, which is tragic, and then relating that to some of the juveniles held in the prison that holds the worst of the worst. This is cut 14.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
I had to be very raw when we interviewed the. The young men who were juvenile Offenders in San Quentin. I told them about my own loss, where my, my. I lost my older sister a few days before my seventh birthday. And I blame myself for her death. And I share that because that they ultimately were accused of committing these violent crimes and sentenced for life. And I think it shocked them that this blonde lady who was interviewing them had a similar story, was perhaps in the wrong place at the wrong time, but wasn't punished the way they were because clearly it was an accident. But theirs was probably an accident, too.
Joe Bob
So just to give you some context, this actually is a tragic story. When Jennifer SABLE Newsom was 6 years old, her and her older sister, who I believe was eight at the time, were playing on some golf carts, I believe in Hawaii. And one, her sister was behind Jennifer Cyber Newsom's golf cart and the cart reversed. Won't get into the specifics there, but the sister ended up passing away, which again, is absolutely tragic, and given the age and the situation, clearly is an accident. But then she says, well, you know, the juveniles that are in San Quentin clearly are there probably because an accident as well, and they. They're surprised that, you know, a person like me would be interviewing them with it with a very similar story. But is it a similar story, Ms. First Partner Person thing, or is it that you're trying to deal to lessen the horrific crimes that some of these juveniles committed to, I don't know, let them out of prison, which is apparently what they like to do in California. One of the people she was talking about, the guy named Michael Yoshi, I guess is his nickname Nelson, who again, is just probably there by accident, you know, convicted of first degree murder, which again, probably, probably an accident. At the age of 15, he pled guilty and received 25 to life. But again, probably just an accident, you know, it's not an accident, though, is the way that the first partner lady thing, how she raised her kids. Sorry, how they raised their kids. I don't. I don't want to assume her gender because she's not doing that too. Being the first partner, not the first lady, first person thing, the way she raised her kid is clearly not an accident, as evidenced by how she talks about it. This is cut 15. The governor's wife talking about the gender fluidity of raising her kids. Cut 15.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
I've given our boys dolls, Even if they tear the head off, I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a Responsibility of men. What I've done with both my daughters and my sons is if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she and it just normalizes. For my sons in particular, it's not even. I don't even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting.
Joe Bob
I think I made the joke yesterday when she said, oh, I flip the protagonist. Yeah, what if the protagonist is a man going in to get a prostate exam? I just, just say, do you flip the genders then? Or do you just. Or, or also do you flip it the other way too? If you know you're reading Hunger Games where they have a female protagonist, you flip that to be a guy. Or does she think that there's enough stories like that? My question is, why not find real women heroes? Why not find powerful women who've climbed to the top because of their skill and ability as opposed to make up a story that revolves around some guy and flip it to be a women? Why don't you, I don't know, maybe highlight Margaret Thatcher for one, maybe Condoleezza Rice, Kayleigh McEnany, Caroline Levitt, any of those fantastic women, you, you could, you know, put them on the same pedestal as men that you read in the stories, but instead you just decided to role reverse, which seems, I don't know, a little odd. An opinion piece in the New York Post by Miranda Devine highlights some of the big flaws that Governor Newsom and his they person wife are gonna run into. National polls says the New York Post show Governor Newsom is deeply unpopular across the country. Some polls even have two time loser Kamala Harris beating him in the 2028 Lib primary. I wonder why that is. Well, part of the reason is several of the clips we just showed you and another part of the reason is the clips will continue to show you. This is cut 16, the governor's wife person thing, saying what will solve all of the problems. Cut 16.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Like every problem that we have in society right now will be fixed when women come together and partner with our male allies and other allies. But when more women are in the rooms making decisions, changing the status quo and transforming not just our culture but our society and our economy. I'll give you one example. Look at tech at Silicon Valley. Had more women been early on in those companies or at the tables of power making decisions, I don't think we would have so much or have allowed for so much sort of bigotry, racism, misogyny, and hate online, I don't think that we would have the anonymity of it. I think that there would have been a. Ooh, that's unkind. That's not okay. You can't make money off of that. About dividing people, misinforming people, you know, belittling people, bullying people. I mean, again, think about who's the victims online. More often than not, it's women, lgbtq, marginalized communities, women of color.
Joe Bob
Ah, yes. During the prior administration, when people were pointing out the several flaws in the governor government's narrative around Covid, the people that were getting kicked off those platforms regarding Covid, regarding elections, regarding really anything with the conservative Ben were the LGBT trans people. Those are the victims of online meanness. Which, by the way, who gets to determine what is mean in her mind? Well, women do. If women were in power, like she said, all of the problems will be solved, which, holy cow, that's a heck of a promise to make. You know, she is a documentarian. She. That's what she does for a quote, unquote, living. Her last film was, and this is from the New York Post piece that I referenced earlier, her last film was about what else? Toxic masculinity and worse. It was shown to over a thousand government schools, which had then had to pay her nonprofit for the privilege of being lectured by a crazy person about toxic masculinity. It has been reported that she makes about $300,000 a year from this nonprofit. The nonprofit also takes in an exorbitant amount of money who. From companies and people who, interestingly enough, you're gonna find this crazy, have some really interesting relationships with the governor's office and may or may not have to pay certain fines that other people would have to pay. Those people, interestingly enough, find that the first person of California's nonprofit is just the best nonprofit to donate to and give them thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars. But the good news is it doesn't stop there. It's also funded by taxpayers from the government schools paying for the documentaries. But nevertheless, she has a new documentary coming out, which of course is likely probably around the same thing, breaking down gender roles, which is the topic of the clip that we're going to play you next. This is cut 17, the first lady person discussing a widely unpopular topic among every American right center, center left. Only the craziest of the crazy actually thinks what she is saying. Cut 17.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
At the end of the day, we're all kind of like in this place in history maybe where we're recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human. And that's exciting to me. So, you know, I'll just continue to kind of do my work and try and deconstruct all of these like limiting narratives about ultimately what it means to be human.
Joe Bob
Deconstructing gender roles has probably the approvability of, I don't know, a potato, which honestly might be an insult to potatoes. I think a potato in office might have a higher approval rating than someone who says way gender is not really a thing. It's just a fluid, just it's. Sex isn't really a thing. Men and women are not really things. We just, we need to break all of that down. In that New York Times opinion piece, sorry, New York Post opinion piece. Miranda Devine described the first person of California, I think in the best way she says this. Jennifer Sibel Newsom is the very avatar of democratic women. Hottie. Hectoring and pleased with herself. She is single handedly wrecking her henpecked husband Gavin Newsom's lofty political ambitions, which I think is absolutely 100% correct. The last clip I want to play you is I think the most deeply disturbing, especially when it comes to tangible policy outcomes. This is how Governor Newsom's wife thinks of the world, which poses him as a very interesting and kind of hilarious problem. Cut 18.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
So that's scary. We're like one of the most progressive households and our son is confused and asking all these questions. We're working on legislation to hold tech companies accountable and help them be a force for good in our kids and families lives. To really provide all the best in class resources and support for youth so that they don't go down this rabbit hole of very, very dangerous and limiting narratives around ultimately what it means to be a girl and what it means to be a boy. We owe it to them and ourselves to kind of heal this, this, this gift of modern technology, but curb it to be a force for good. I mean, look, the governor and I, we have three more years. We're trying to institutionalize our values so that they carry on beyond our term.
Joe Bob
We need to exert our power in order to censor or curb things towards the good. Who decides what good is? Well, that's me. Now an overbearing mother generally leads her kids the entirely opposite direction, which I think is why Governor Newsom told Charlie Kirk, hey, my son's a big, big fan of yours. Well, probably because his mom is like that. Can you imagine imagine somebody with that outlook on what their role in free speech is, which effectively is what she's saying in the power that she would be in as first lady if Governor Newsom were to win. Which brings us to the, in my opinion, hilarious predicament that Kevin Newsom is it. I. I can't say that I'm amused by this. I can. I'm. I'm incredibly amused by the situation that Governor Newsom has found himself in. Uh, one of two things. He can either come out and say, one, he could say, I have the full support of my wife, and my wife has the full support of me. If we take Governor Newsom and we take his wife at her word that he defers to her, which again, is her words. Men should defer to women on really any important issue. That means she has a lot of power, and therefore we can use her to drag him down politically. Because like. Like they've both said, they're. They're joined at the hip. They. They think exactly the same thing. Or two, the option he has is to try and distance himself from his own wife, which would be hilarious because then we get to call him the very thing he accuses us of. Are you trying to silence women, Gavin? That doesn't seem progressive, really, at all. She's a strong, powerful, independent woman. You should listen to her because you're the one telling us we need to do the same thing. I can't help but be amused at the situation that the governor of the poopiest state of the Union has put himself in. But we'll all see how this plays out together currently. Like I said, the biggest problem that Gavin Newsom has is not his disastrous record in the most populous state in the Union. It is, in fact, the person that he's married to, dare I say woman. TPTBC.com is the email address. If you'd like to send in your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We get a lot of points to get to after the break. Don't go well. We'll write back after this.
Andrew Schulz
I'm an immigrant, but I don't like other immigrants. I just need to be clear about this. No, it's like that for all of us. We don't like the ones who come after us. Like, back in the day, the Irish didn't like the Italians. The Italians didn't like the Puerto Ricans. The Puerto Ricans didn't like the Dominicans, but the Dominicans could play baseball, so they were fine. And now the Indians and The Chinese can't stand each other because somebody decided we all have to check the Asian box for college applications. So all our kids are fighting for the same 15 spots at Princeton.
Joe Bob
I like what you said, the beating part of there. I'm an immigrant, but I don't like other immigrants that came after. That's. I think it was Andrew Scholz that said, made a joke about that with Cubans. Like the second, the second Cubans get on American soil, they say, no, no, no more, cut em all off. Which honestly, and maybe this just goes to show the type of immigrants that I'm friends with, any immigrant people that I know are very much the same. Hey, I came to this country because I believe in the system. I value what this country is, and all these other people coming in after me do not. So build the wall. There was no bigger proponent of the wall being built than my dad, who was also an immigrant. Which says something about the types of people that are coming in nowadays. All right, hey, lots of, lots of important things to get to. It's time to get to the point. Get to the point, get to the point. All right. Like I mentioned earlier in the show, the information we have is when information in the 24 hour news cycle is outdated in like the last, the next hour, I don't know what to do with that. Especially kind of in the format that we do this show. The resources that we have is just in a breaking news situation, you can count on us to be about 12 hours behind probably because again, fog of war is a real thing and I don't want to like mislead people and just jump off in crazy directions without really knowing what's going on. So this was from the Washington Post, but many other outlets were talking about it earlier this morning. The US Strikes Iran's Carg island, as Trump warns, for warns, a whole civilization will die tonight. And that is either true or not. The one thing that I will say about the Trump truth Post post is this echoing. Interestingly enough, okay, he's not the only person that was talking about this. But Jeremy Boring, the former CEO of the Daily Wire I saw tweeted this. Trump has been a political figure. He's effectively said this for a decade. This is if you're not familiar with or used to how he negotiates this is it a bunch of people freaking out, which in many, many cases the President United States. Saying what he said via a social media post would warrant, you know, a lot of panic. But in this case it is worth discussion. But at the same time, President Trump has been on the scene now for a decade. This is how he negotiates generally speaking. It usually works in the benefit of the American people. Whether or not he follows through on the most, the hottest I guess of takes remains to be seen at this point in time. To me right now coming to you, it remains to be seen and you know, things may change tomorrow and if they do, we will discuss. But the big headline of the story is let's see us recent strikes on Carg island, which is the big export oil export hub obviously amid the ongoing conflict that started in late February. President Trump saying a lot of things, a lot of things being said back. We will discuss in further detail and give further analysis when the dust settles which that, when that will be, I have no idea. And again the whole point here is just to try and be as transparent with you folks. And it's difficult to be transparent when there's just a bunch of stuff going on. If you really need second to second up to date information, Elon Musk's Twitter is a great standpoint. I like to take in the information as much as we can and then discuss. So that is what we will be doing on that front Regarding this story on in some better news in another like amazing United States victory. NASA shared. This is from Anger it and Gadget entirely Engadget. Okay. NASA shared incredible photos from the far side of the moon. Yeah. Which is this, this, these are unbelievable photos that are on your screen right now. This looks like art. I mean it is art to an extent, but this is unbelievable. This shows the far side of the moon which echo the famous Apollo 8 Earth Rise images from 1968. We don't have those, but very, very similar. The image captures the rare solar eclipse viewed from the far side of the moon during which the moon was completely blocking the sun for about 57 minutes as they traveled the 4,000 miles around. That's it. That's the photo right there. Beyond the lunar surface. Unbelievable. President Trump also put in a phone call to the astronauts as they made their way back into communication with radio communication and wished him well. And as a cordial, cordial thing didn't. No politics whatsoever. Which is great. The United States of America, regardless of left, right, center. This is an amazing, amazing, amazing feat. Let's see, let's see. So we've got those. That's, that's that. Back to that. Yeah, that, that's the story. Unbelievable photos that you just saw. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Let's see. You know, let's, let's skip this One producer, Glenn and go to this because I think this is interesting. The House, lives in the House are introducing articles of impeachment, war crimes against Secretary Hegseth. Secretary of War Pete Hexeth. Yes. Yes. A Min Ansari, the lib from Arizona, an Iranian American lawmaker, announced on April 7 today that she will introduce articles of impeachment next week, accusing him of committing war crimes during the U.S. conflict with Iran and sorry, cited heg sex, alleged reckless endangerment of American service members, violation of his oath of office. The fuller context of this clearly and obviously is tragically, there are casualties of war that just that's just what happens in this particular instance. Those have been minimal relative to wars military involvement in the past. To suggest that this is anything out of out of the ordinary sounds bad, but that's really what we're talking about here. Out of the ordinary in the context of war at any scale anywhere. To say that this is any sort of elevation from that is crazy. If anything, it is a very, very, very low number, which again, is great. Like, we are grateful for that. But the bottom line is the impeachment attempt for Secretary of Warhead Seth is crazy. And yet lives are crazy. So that that's, that's what it is. You know, we're going to wrap get to the point here because I know last couple of days we've got when there's a lot of talk about in the first segment, sometimes leather segments get condensed. Trying to get back here on the timeframe here and get to the official business, which again, is my favorite segment of the show you want to leave some time for. So coming up after the break, official business, TBT tbsa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms, all are welcome. TPTP USA.com we'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.
Mumbani
I love body cam footage. Have y' all been watching it? If y' all have. Oh, man. Dude. What it is the. It isn't if y'.
Joe Bob
All.
Mumbani
This one blows my mind. Didn't we think when we put body cameras on all the police it would show us how crazy the police were? But instead it backfired and showed us how crazy we are. Like, it's insane. Like, it's actually. I know it's changing my mind. It's turning me into like a slight conservative. I'm not going to lie.
Joe Bob
Yeah, that. That's true. Talk about one of the biggest missteps in political or cultural history. After George Floyd, which, by the way, had everybody watched all of the body cam footage, I think the cultural sentiment probably would have shifted drastically. So we need body cam footage everywhere. Because the idea was. I forget what the statistic was. It was like most people believed that like thousands of unarmed black men were being murdered by the cops every year, when in reality the number was like nine. And that's. Murder is not even the right term. Were killed. And it. Unarmed is also its own. Wasn't exact. Okay, unarmed mean they didn't have a gun on them. It was like right over there. The numbers were just minuscule compared to what the American people thought. But talk about backfiring in the best possible way. Most, the overwhelming majority of police officers are very, very, very good at what they do. Are there some bright apples? Yes, but there's some bad apples and everything. That's just what it is. But body camps have proven that most American law enforcement officials are dealing with literal crazy people, so there's that. All right, hey, official business is when people in offices of power talk about the business that they are doing, which makes it our business, which makes it official business. All right, coming up, first one, official business is Mumbani, who is again, using language in a way to obscure the reality of things. Libs do this all the time. They just kind of use verbiage that says, hey, you know this person? Let's not call them a criminal. Let's. Let's call them a temporarily jail housed Jello lover. Right. I. I don't know why. Jello love just good food. Sushi lover, pizza lover. Not to say a criminal. Just. Just a. Let's. Let's use the softest possible terms. Which is what? If you have any pronunciation recommendations for this guy's name. Again, I've no idea how to pronounce it. It's effectively what he's doing here in cut six.
Zam Danny
We stand here together at New York City Health and Hospitals, Bellevue, opening an outposted therapeutic housing unit for incarcerated individuals, the first facility of its. I am deeply grateful to the many advocates and activists who have fought tirelessly to advance a more just and compassionate approach to carceral care. And I want to thank the district attorneys, public defenders and judges who are doing the work to speed case processing and reduce our jail population.
Joe Bob
Carceral care. Oh, you mean criminals, some of which who have murdered people in prison. It's. It's not a hospital. It's not pediatric care. These are, these are criminals who are in prison, but incarcerated individuals, it's like homeless people. Oh, the Unhoused, not generally speaking, their meth heads. Sorry. Let's, let's call it what it is or else we're going to get in this confused nature, which again is the whole goal of libs is to try and confuse people into thinking their bad ideas are good ideas. Yeah, we have to keep fighting back against it. In another instance of moron Zam Danny talking about racial equity and how does, how do you get racial equity? Well, you be racist against a certain race of people. I kid you not, that is literally the way they think. This is cut seven.
Zam Danny
And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city, we know that these effects are not applied evenly. So often it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit the hardest. This preliminary racial equity plan is, is the first step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling that reality. It is a plan that lays out these first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination. And it places the work of 45 city agencies within a singular framework.
Joe Bob
Obviously, prioritizing one race over another race is racist. Whatever it is that you're doing that. That's what racism means, right? Well, these races are marginalized or whatever. Nah, just don't prioritize any race over anybody. That's kind of the whole thing. That's all the time we have to get to. There's several more, but I think our clip cleanout on Friday is growing by leaps and bounds every single day because there's so much good stuff to get to. So make sure you tune in Friday for the clip cleanout coming up next. Want to leave time for take that Tuesday, which we will get to right after the break. TBTPPSA.com is the email address.

Saudi Arabia Cultural Commentator
You dress like this in Saudi Arabia.
Joe Bob
What am I dressed as? I'm wearing a T shirt.
Saudi Arabia Cultural Commentator
No, I know, exactly. You can't dress like. That's way too much skin for Saudi Arabia. Could you, could you, could you show that much skin in Egypt? Could you show this much skin in Iran?
Joe Bob
Yes, you can. Because no religions. There's different religions.
Saudi Arabia Cultural Commentator
No, you can't. I'm sorry. This is. The point is that.
Joe Bob
But that's Islam phobia. You're basically.
Saudi Arabia Cultural Commentator
No, it's not Islamic phobia. It's factual. You literally could not dress like this in the, down in the streets of Riyadh as a woman. This is way too provocative. Way too much skin. When we say Islamophobia you as a woman should stand up against Islam and its treatment of women.
Joe Bob
I, I'm curious about you folks. I. Every, every day, if I'm on social media and a Charlie clip comes up, I watch the entire thing and I don't really. It's. He was so, so flipping good at bringing real world examples into honestly pretty complex arguments, discussions that are difficult for people to weave in the modern age. And among so many reasons, this is one of them that I miss the guy the most. This is the level of ability in real time to disassemble arguments and honestly turn them against himself. Like he's, he's the pro woman person here. Which of course, God. Unbelievable. I can't, I can't not watch the entire thing if I'm scrolling through and I see clips. All right, let's see. Take that Tuesday. Oh, this is my favorite. Let's play the singer. It's Take that Tuesday. Take that Tuesday. It's Take that Tuesday. So, interestingly enough, many libs around the world, many conservatives around. Sorry, around the world, around the country, a lot of global events happening. I don't blame myself for thinking world versus country libs around the country are just assuming that come November, we're going to take back all of the things. We're going to win all of it. Every single thing is coming back. I think I've mentioned several times, depending on the quickness in which the Iran military involvement is ended will dictate whether or not it's even considered in the primaries. Sorry. In the midterms, if it wraps up here in the next month or so, which President Trump says it probably will. I don't even think it's going to be relevant by the time the midterms come up. But regardless, conservatives are, in their own mind, relegated to, yeah, we're going to lose these libs are like, yeah, we're going to win these. Is that what the American people are thinking? Not entirely sure. Take that, Libs. According to CNN's, some of CNN's newest polling played this cut 11.

Take a look. GOP would win the Senate with this map. Let's say Republicans only hold onto the states that Trump won by greater than 10 points. That would in fact give them the Senate 51 to 49. Why? Because what you would see is you would see that the Democrats would flip North Carolina, they would flip Maine, but Republicans would hold on to Ohio, they'd hold on to Texas, and they'd hold on to Alaska because Donald Trump won all of those states by greater than 10 points. And I will note John and I were talking. We had the NCAA tournament going on. This is sort of the chart scenario going on where the most obvious events actually do occur. Because take a look during the Trump era. Look at this Flip the Senate seat midterm and presidential years states the other party won by 10 plus points in the last presidential election. 000 times did a party flip those states. So we're talking about places like Texas, Alaska, Ohio where Trump won by double digits.
Joe Bob
Which is. Now this is just talking statistics but this is assuming that he only wins places that there are 10 plus percentage points that he won in 2024. Right. This doesn't even factor in. Okay. Well some places have a little bit less of a discrepancy. They still are in play. It doesn't factor in the individual candidates. Remember Jaime Talarico? Which I believe is what I'm supposed to call him. His name is James. But considering, you know, Mexicans. I think he wants to be called Jaime. I don't know that for a fact. I just. I assume that considering he's the candidate in Texas and I know Texas was on that state that won, you know 10 plus points. But candidates matter as well. So all of these things take into consideration one I'm not even sure if a round's going to be a part of the conversation when it comes to midterm times in five months, six months to the candidates matter. And three. Just statistically speaking they're only factoring in states that he won. Trump won by 10 points. There's a lot of optimism. Timid optimism at least on my part for conservatives when it comes to the midterms this fall. Um. All right. Mailbag is next segment.

Mailbag Caller
I've not said a single cuss word since I was 12 years old. And the reason being is because my best friend when I was 12 dared me to never say another curse word ever again. And I haven't done it since. It's kind of a cool story. My best friend. Very famous. You probably heard of him. His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Joe Bob
Yeah. That video reminds me of some of the emails I get when I. Some people think I'm joking, but I am serious. Offer the responsibility of being the king. I. Again, this offer is on the table if we would like an actual king, you know, despite all the no king stuff, I will take that role and responsibility. I will bear that burden. You know, heavy is the head that wears the crown. I will do it. I will be the absolute king. Some people think I'm joking. I'm clearly not. But then we get emails saying, you can't be the king. Jesus is the king. King. Yeah, you're right. But that's not. Okay, you're right. It's not the point that I'm making, but correct. That's what this video reminds me of. All right, hey, mailbag, tptpc.com member if your emails are gross, disgusting, vile, just downright nasty, you have a better chance of being read on the show. Some criticism yesterday and totally, totally understand the criticism. I will respond here. This is a. To my take on the military tactics, the celebration of us getting really everybody out. When it came to the downed pilot and colonel in the backseat of the plane. Debbie and Randy frequent correspondence. First of all, really appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for watching. Both of them are just going to summarize here saying don't. We shouldn't discuss military tactics on the show. Uh, I totally understand where that sentiment is coming from. I agree wholeheartedly. Except for this one. The world is gonna know about it. It just is. It's not this, like, covert thing that nobody knows about, which, yeah, we wouldn't probably want to project that. This was a big operation, a big news story in the. During the weekend, Good Friday, plane gets shot down. Everybody's gonna find out about that. Second, everybody is going to find out about kind of the tactics. The president is talking about it. The Secretary of War is talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. Mostly because the news media is going to find out the details. And lastly, if that is all going to happen anyways, is it in our interest, and I think it is, to tell the rest of the world this is how awesome we are? I'm against, you know, people being boisterous. Big fan of humility. But in this particular instance, when we are at war with someone, I think it also is in our benefit to say, yeah, we are this good. These are all the things we did. You're gonna find out anyway, so we might as well tell you, this is why you don't want to mess with us. I think that's a. That implies some severe deterrence, which I think is good. It's ultimately a good thing. Let's see on the topic of that rescue yesterday, this is from no name. Mr. No name. Ms. No name potentially I don't want to miss gender lives complaining about the two planes. I think they were aircraft that we had to blow up rather than fall into enemies hands. How come they're not complaining about the billions of dollars and the airstrip money that President Biden left in Afghanistan? Yeah, good point. You didn't hear them talking about complaining about that. Fantastic point. Sheila also echoed that sentiment. Why nobody on the left complaining about the billions of dollars military equipment that we just gave to the Taliban. Good points. Paul. Last email for the day is curious about what happened at the dog park yesterday. I briefly mentioned that we were at risk of being accosted by a homeless person in California, which unfortunately is not uncommon. That's like the most normal thing to happen to Californians and happened at the dog park. Maybe we'll tell that story on Friday. Paul, you win. I've been telling stories about my live neighbors. Maybe we'll do that for the dog park too. That's gonna, that's gonna. That has to do with force. We're out of time. See you tomorrow. Same time, same place. God bless America. That.
Host: Joe Bob
Date: April 8, 2026
Episode Theme:
An irreverent and sharp commentary on the current political and cultural climate in America, focusing on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s presidential aspirations, the role of his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, media narratives, current international conflict updates, progressive cultural shifts, and mailbag reactions from the show’s engaged audience.
Joe Bob takes listeners through a series of hot-button issues in American politics and culture, with a primary focus on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s rumored 2028 presidential run and the unique liabilities posed by his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The episode critiques the media management of California’s reputation, interprets recent world events—especially concerning Iran—and provides a satirical examination of “wokeness,” policing, gender issues, and progressive language in government. Joe Bob’s energetic, comedic, and sometimes acerbic style drives the analysis, interspersed with audio clips, commentary, and audience interaction.
Taxpayer-Funded PR (03:30–08:30)
“[Newsom] has been in statewide office for the last 15 years, but that, that’s probably irrelevant entirely…it just…tarnished. We gotta fix this thing.” (04:30)
The New York PR Firm Debate (08:30–11:00)
Joe Bob frames Newsom’s wife as his “biggest problem,” playing several controversial clips.
Notable Quotes:
“I blame myself for [my sister's] death…But theirs was probably an accident, too.” — Jennifer Siebel Newsom (11:16)
“Is it a similar story…or is it that you’re trying to lessen the horrific crimes?” (12:04)
Gender & Parenting Practices:

“My question is, why not find real women heroes?” (14:42)
Feminism as Panacea:
“Every problem that we have in society right now will be fixed when women come together and partner with our male allies…Had more women been early on in [tech], I don’t think we would have so much bigotry, racism, misogyny, and hate online…” — Jennifer Siebel Newsom (16:25)
Deconstructing Gender Roles:
“Ultimately, deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human. And that’s exciting to me…” — Jennifer Siebel Newsom (20:00)
“Deconstructing gender roles has probably the approvability of, I don’t know, a potato, which honestly might be an insult to potatoes.” (20:26)
Censorship for Good:
“We need to exert our power in order to censor or curb things towards the good. Who decides what good is? Well, that's me.” — Joe Bob (22:33, paraphrasing Jennifer Siebel Newsom)
Political Dilemma for Newsom:
“I’m going to do my best to gather as much reliable information and then bring it to you then, as opposed to speculate on what is currently happening…” (03:00, reiterated 26:30)
“This looks like art…this is unbelievable. The image captures the rare solar eclipse viewed from the far side of the moon…” (29:50)
Guest Mumbani reflects on the unintended consequences of bodycams, showing public misbehavior more than police misconduct:
“We thought when we put body cameras on all the police it would show us how crazy the police were. But instead…it backfired and showed us how crazy we are.” — Mumbani (34:05)
Joe Bob:
“Body cams have proven that most American law enforcement officials are dealing with literal crazy people.” (34:29)
Satire of progressive euphemisms (e.g., “carceral care” vs. “prison,” “incarcerated individuals” vs. “criminals”) and equity policies.

“GOP would win the Senate with this map…If Trump won a state by more than 10 points, Republicans would hold it.” (43:11)
“If you would like an actual king…heavy is the head that wears the crown. I will do it. I will be the absolute king.” (46:21)
On Media & War:
“Fog of war is real and the last thing that I would like to do…is put you in a position to where…we don’t entirely know.” — Joe Bob (03:12)
On Progressive Gender Views:
“At the end of the day, we’re all kind of…in this place in history…where we’re recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human.” — Jennifer Siebel Newsom (20:00)
On Policing & Bodycams:
“Didn’t we think when we put body cameras on all the police it would show us how crazy the police were? But instead it backfired and showed us how crazy we are.” — Mumbani (34:05)
On Political Spouses:
“Currently…the biggest problem that Gavin Newsom has is not his disastrous record…it is, in fact, the person that he’s married to, dare I say woman.” — Joe Bob (24:20)
Joe Bob’s delivery mixes sharp political satire, skepticism toward progressive cultural trends, straight-shooting commentary, and active engagement with the audience. The show’s tone is irreverent, comedic, and unapologetically critical of mainstream narratives, especially from liberal and progressive circles.
This summary presents the key topics and memorable exchanges—especially the deep dive on Governor Newsom’s political vulnerabilities, sharp critiques of California's political culture, wry asides about international news, and a cynical but humorous approach to social issues. It serves as a punchy, digestible stand-in for the full listening experience, highlighting not just what was said, but how it was said.
