We can make work a better place for healing, learn more and sign the pledge@workingwithcancerpledge.com New York City is celebrating America's 250th birthday with a massive birthday bash that literally no one is invited to. That story coming up is fucking fascinating. Also, the death of a civilization delayed by at least two weeks and California libs are punching each other, taking shots at their own comrades, which you just hate to see. All that more coming up on the show. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. So you set up a party. All the decorations are out. You cleaned the toilets. You had all of the things. You're what, you helped your wife vacuum the floor. You did all the things for this massive party for a really big deal, you know, the 250th birthday of America's massive deal. And you don't invite anybody. Somehow you forgot. Somehow it just slipped your mind and, and nobody shows up. What's the point of having a party then? Well, that exact situation is going on in New York City. Before we get to that. TPTP USA.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms, all are welcome. TPT USA.com Remember if your emails gross, just vile, downright nasty, it'll actually fit in with what we do here on the show, at least as described by several on the left. TPTP USA.com loved going through a bunch of your emails yesterday on the death of a civilization and then the delayed of the death of civilization and people freaking out, the 25th Amendment, all of that sort of stuff. We'll get to that in a little bit too. Some highlights on there. But email tptp USA.com if you'd like to participate in the conversation and the dialogue. I thought this was really interesting. As we all know, the United States turns 250 years old in just a couple years we will catch up to the age of Nancy Pelosi. Not quite yet, but eventually we will catch up. As a nation, when a country turns 250 years old, clearly, obviously there is a need for celebration, especially celebration of a country as great as the United States of America. And so in all corners of the country, various events are being planned to celebrate a historic and monumental feat of existing as the greatest country in the world for 250 years. Last year, the NYC NYE, the New York City New Year's Eve Eve organizers who organized the ball dropping in Times Square and everybody kisses and the mainstream media shows a biracial gay couple making out for way too long Immediately after the ball drops to show diversity or whatever, those organizers announced last year that on July 3rd of this year for the first time since the tradition began in 1907 and a second ball drop will be held. This clearly to mark the 250 year anniversary of America's founding. However, there is a slight hiccup and that hiccup is a Ugandan Muslim socialist who happens to be the mayor of New York City, America 250 and the One Times Square, which is the organizers who do the ball drop issued a joint statement the other day that said this. The July 3rd ball drop is confirmed and will take place at 1 Times Square. Yes, celebrating the greatest country in the world and our ability to withstand all of the setbacks that have beset this great, great nation and continue forward in the greatest experiment of mankind alongside a live broadcast and celebration. While there will be no public event at the Times Square Plaza. What? We're going to have a big ball drop in the middle of Times Square just like we do for New Year's Eve and no one's going to be there. The statement went on to say we're working through the standard coordination with city partners and look forward to sharing additional details soon. What additional details need to be shared? If cool. The ball will drop and I guess there will be a camera on the ball dropping. But if nobody's there to celebrate it, what's the point? They basically said there's not gonna be no attendees. To which I was like, well, I'm of two minds of this one. Having gone and seen the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. I don't know why anybody would stand out there in the crowd having to go to the bathroom for that amount of time. It doesn't make sense to me when anyone would do that. But also, what is the point if nobody's gonna be there? Why are you even having this event? And can you even call it an event if nobody is there to participate in said event? It's like decorating your entire house for a big party and then not inviting anybody. Okay, so how and why is this happening? Did a little bit of a foreshadowing at the beginning. Has a lot to do with the Ugandan communist Muslim who happens to be the mayor of New York City. But it's happening because the city's Parks Department, which falls under the administration of the mayor, refuses to issue a permit for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the country. You have to get a permit, which. Okay, fine, I get it. Makes sense. Generally speaking, not a big government fan, but fine, okay, you have to do a permit. But the Parks Administration. The Parks Department won't issue the permit to celebrate the greatest country in the world. Why won't the Parks Department issue a permit? Well, according to the New York Post. Mayor, I just. I have no idea how to pronounce this guy's name. It just is. It continues to befuddle me. So email us tptbusa.com if you'd like to send suggestions on how to pronounce it. I believe it is Zahara. Mom. Danny. Ma', am, Danny signed an emergency order that will block events, including some concerts and food festivals, from city parkland during the FIFA World Cup. If you're not familiar with, I guess, FIFA soccer, which you're Americans, we have better forms of entertainment, which is why we don't watch soccer. But FIFA, the World cup, is going to be here in the United States this summer. It's kind of weird because it's like Canada.

It's.

Joe Bob
It's North America. It's like Canada, Mexico, and the United States, which I could go on a whole diatribe of why that's stupid, but that's just the case. But the FIFA World cup is going to be here, and some games are going to be taking place around New York City because MetLife isn't actually in New York City. But NYPD officials will be helping secure all of the areas that have anything to do with the World Cup. So the city Parks department is now denying any new permits for special events that will run between June 11 and July 19. Because the world cup is going to be here. Which you might ask, wait a minute. Isn't the greatest the. Sorry, the biggest, Most important. Some might say greatest a little bit less so nowadays? Isn't the city that size and that of that importance, New York City? Shouldn't they be able to handle doing two things at once? Isn't that something that should be possible for them to do? Well, what's interesting about this is that the park administration is reacting to a request from the NYPD themselves. NYPD said, hey, we're going to be spread really, really thin here. Maybe we shouldn't issue any new permits. So the other day, ma', am, Danny signed a emergency Order. An emergency order to say, no new permits as required, requested by the nypd. So then if you're sticking with me, the obvious question is to go, well, how is this. Ma' am Danny's fault? If it was a request from the NYPD to the Parks Department, who's not issuing the permit for the celebration of the greatest country in the world? How. How is that the Muslim, socialist, communist Ugandans fault? Well, in part for tweets like this. This is graphic one. This is not new information, but it should be noted that this is where this guy stands. Uh, we need to defund the police and build a socialist New York. Okay, so he's a big proponent of defunding the police that is required and necessary to protect people at these big events, including the 250th birthday of the United States of America. But he goes on, this is not the only one. And we probably pulled 30 of these types of tweets or X posts, but we only did three for the sake of time. The next one says this. Defund the Haram police. Which, interestingly, haram is the Arabic term for things that are forbidden under Sharia law or Islamic law. So if you take this literally, which libs love to do, they love to take everything literally all the time, which is why they so misunderstand Donald Trump, the President of the United States. But if they were to take this literally. So he wants to defund not the police, but the police that don't adhere to Islamic law, which is a whole different thing. But again, we. We don't necessarily need to dig into all of that right now, but just know that if we were to take it literally, this means something else entirely. But lastly, to round it out of the statements that have been made by the Ugandan communist, queer liberation means defund the police. Which, if. If my memory serves me correctly, I. I want to say that queer liberation probably would also be haram. I. I don't know. I'm not a Muslim scholar, but I just. I. Charlie would make the joke all the time, and I thought it was hilarious. If. If you're a queer liberator in any of those Middle Eastern countries, they will give you a flying lesson off the nearest roof. Spoiler alert, humans don't fly. But it's stuff like that that you can blame the mayor of New York City, which has led to that stance, that outlook, that rhetoric has led to video clips like this. We all saw this in February of this year. NYPD officers walking through New York City's Central park being pelted with snowballs. Remember this cut. No rational person, no sane American, ever wants to see our law enforcement be treated that way with such hostility. Probably prompted along by a guy who's at the top of the food chain in New York saying things that, well, would lead people to think that that sort of behavior is acceptable. Okay, fine. But everything I'm bringing up right now is. Is not really tangentially related to what is going on this summer in the inability to do the World cup and then also the 250th birthday. Yeah, it's just X posts and sentiment, really. There's no real hard policy. Except there also is that as well. In Man Danny again. I'm still fuzzy on the pronunciation. I don't even know how. The Ugandan communist, in his first preliminary buzz budget for fiscal year 2027, the budget that was released in February of 2026. So, like, less than two months ago, he proposed a $22 million cut to NYPD's overall budget. In addition to cutting the budget, he also canceled the prior administration's plan to. To hire 5,000 additional officers, which effectively then kept any of the staffing vacancies totally flat. When people leave the force, they don't get replaced. The last administration, like it or not, Mayor Eric Adams, had a plan. Hey, we're going to hire 5,000 new officers. And maybe if that plan were in place and continuing to have an effect on the numbers of nypd, I don't know, maybe it was possible that the bandwidth could be just a little bit more, and then maybe the NYPD wouldn't have to ask the mayor's office, the Parks Organization, to say, we don't need this moratorium on new special permits because we can handle it. Why? Because we're fully staffed. Of course. Unfortunately, that's not the case. According to Man Danny's the Ugandan Communists budget proposals. He also proposed reduced overtime funding. Uh, according to the nypd, and this is from the New York Post, the NYPD is about 6,000 cops short of its peak staffing. They'll already be stretched thin per patrolling events tied to the soccer tournament and America's 250th anniversary. And Zohar Mamdani refuses to hire more cops. The bottom line is this. Are we in a time where heightened security, unfortunately, is necessary? Yes. That's just the reality of the situation. However, as the most powerful, prosperous country on the planet in human history, and as our Beacon City, New York City, the most powerful, influential and important city of on the planet, you have to Be able to do two things at once. We've talked about this in regards to geopolitics as well as domestic politics. Some people make the case of, hey, why are we doing this over here when we should be doing this over here? And my answer has always been, well, you need to be able to do both. Right? If your car breaks down and your mortgage company changes hands, you don't say, okay, well, I gotta, I gotta fix the car. There's no. No. As an adult, as a, as a grown individual with responsibilities, you have to be able to take on both problems at the same time. And as a country as great as the United States of America, you have to be able to do two things at once. And in the most important city on the planet, you have to be able to, yes, keep people secure at the World cup events and allow Americans to celebrate a monumental milestone in our country's history. If we have apathy towards this, we're going to end up like France. If you remember, France last year had to cancel their Paris New Year's Eve celebrations because they were worried about threats. And look, I don't want to be, you know, dismissive of the threats. The threats are real and they're not good. But at the same time capitulating to those threats is just weakness. And we cannot, especially now, project weakness to the rest of the world. So that's the reason why mam. Danny's in charge of this. Blowing all this up when there's nobody in the crowd, when the ball drops. That's why when you, when you see the awkwardness of whatever that broadcast is going to be, know that the specific reason is this whole defund the police outlook of the world that the communist Ugandan socialist Muslim has. Tbt.tbsa.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns. Love seeing all of your emails. Also too would like to see, you know, again, the. I tend to take a, at least try to be a pragmatist about, you know, geopolitics versus domestic politics and what we can do at the same time. I know some of those arguments are really, really strong of like, you know, why are we doing this when we could be doing this again? Money and resources tend to be fungible. You can do separate things at different times. But I'd like to hear your thoughts. TPTP USA.com Coming up, the. The desolation, the death of an entire civilization that never was, or at least was delayed by two weeks. And honestly by the time we're, we're, you're watching this in the future. Not that far in the future. But things change so quickly. Who knows? Who knows what could have happened by the time you're watching this? So we'll talk about that as well as Californians just picking each other apart in the gubernatorial race. Just hate to see that. Hate to see libs taking jabs at other libs because that just means, you know, conservatives surge in the polls and knowledge. Oh shucks. Actually, that might be a good thing. Tptbusa.com is the email address. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

stop by Granger for the ones who get it done. Hello. Hey, you're back. What happened? Yeah, okay. The joke is issue, I think. Okay, no worries. Yeah, I mean, I was in the process of saying, like, we get, like, a lot of imposter candidates, you know, particularly North Koreans, like, posing as, like, people that they're not. So one of the tests that we do is trying to get them to say something like, Kim Jong Un is a fat, ugly pig. Could you say that for me? Sorry, no. Kim Jong Un, you know, the leader of North Korea. Yeah, I. Sorry, I just have to say, I just see, like, that this is actually really interesting. Yeah, yeah.

Joe Bob
so that I know that you're not. Not North Korean. This is actually a really interesting story that we probably can and maybe will go deep on. So North Korea makes money coming into their country by doing remote jobs in different countries. So North Koreans sit on a computer. They probably use a vpn. They put their location in, like, I don't list Oklahoma and work for a company saying, I'm in America and, you know, would you pay me? And that's honestly how a lot of money flows into North Korea. And obviously companies don't want that happening. And the litmus test apparently is, as you saw here, say, Kim Jong Un is a fat, ugly pig. And if he doesn't say it the chances are he's in North Korea are high. They seem to be high. You can even do that in the United States. I wouldn't recommend it. Well, I wouldn't recommend it. You can nothing will happen to you if you say that sort of thing in North Korea as a fake court North Korean worker via the Internet. The outcome is bleak. I'll just say that. All right. Hey a lot of points to get to the just there's a lot, there's always a lot to get to. It's time to get to the point. Get to the point. Get to the point. All right. First point up here in so well as little sidebar tangent. We all witnessed yesterday the total and utter meltdown of of a ton of folks and I don't necessarily blame everyone. We'll get to a little more of this in official business. Some libs were talking about the 25th Amendment. This is all this great it turned out I, I hate to say I told you so and I didn't really tell you tell you so yesterday. Yesterday I think we basically the point was look, President Trump has been at the at the center of American politics for a decade. How is anybody shocked at how he negotiates? And you know, again, like I like I said I don't, I don't want to be presumptuous of what's going to happen. I don't want to try and make definitive declarative this will happen. I'm trying to take in the world as it comes in process and analyze and output. That's that's the whole goal here. But also you know tend to trust the guy. He's pretty good at this sort of thing. He's kind of been doing it his whole life and yesterday kind of seemed to be another notch in the the poll of success. I just just that but this headline from Newsmax in the wake of the tension will say Hegseth. He says Iran begged for cease fire after crushing defeats. That would come to a shock as come to as a shock to pretty much no one. I would imagine that would be the case. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held a press conference declaring the operation Epic Fury achieved historic and overwhelming victory against Iran. Which seems to be clear unless you're watching the Alphabet networks for some reason who are saying that we've were losing which is crazy. Less than 40 days 10% of the US combat power destroying Iran's Navy Air Force missile program and defense industrial bases. He also stated that Iran begged for cease fire after the senior leaders were systematically eliminated and its Military was rendered combat ineffective 4 years with 0 American casualties. That was. He's talking specifically about a portion of the operation. Bunch of Iranian drones, missiles, all that stuff intercepted. Hegseth credited, credited. President Trump show encouraged to act decisively where other presidents have previously failed. Yeah, that seems to be the case. Like I said, I don't want to. I don't want to be like, and I told you so. I also don't want to be like this, definitely. But let's, let's give the guy that we all le elect elected some latitude, understanding that he's got more information than everybody. And I will say this. I can confidently 100% say that President Trump does not want to kill a bunch of people. That's just not true. Right. He does not want to wipe out the entirety of a country. He just doesn't. That is the thing that you have to believe if you're kind of this, you know, sensationalist of like, oh, we're gonna drop a nuke on Iran. Nah, dude, he. Okay. It just. It just feels like President Trump has been at the center of American politics for a decade. How are we not used to the way that he negotiates effectively, by the way, if I should say. All right, leaving that there, because I know we might get some emails that disagree fervently, which is totally fine. TPTP USA.com will sort through those emails as they come up next. This is the libs punching each other in the face, and I just. I feel so sorry for them. This from cnn. Swalwell. Eric Swalwell, or I think it is Swalwell's actual name. I always thought it was Fang Fang. I could be wrong. Fang Fang's campaign denies false and outrageous rumors as allegations of misconduct swirl on social media. You're telling me that the guy who was having somewhat of an affair with a Chinese spy may also have been fast and loose with other women? I. I just can't believe that. That's not something that I'm. I'm willing to accept. There's no way that that's possible. The guy who had in a relationship with a Chinese spy also was running around with other women. There's no way. But anyways, all of this is coming because he's running for governor in the state of California. He's also a representative of the state of California in the House of Representatives. Libs who are trying to take him out of the gubernatorial race because they're lacking severely in the polls, because they're flood. If you're not familiar with this there are currently two conservatives at the top of the polls in the California gubernatorial race. We have a top two system. So it could be that those two conservatives can get through, in which case California will have a conservative governor for the first time in 40 years. And you may say, well, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor of California. How did that turn out? How, how conservative was Arnold really, when it comes to it? But I digress. Bottom line is libs are taking shots at each other. All of this is coming from inside the lib camp, trying to take down one of their own, get him out of the race so that the other folks can get a foothold. And like I've mentioned a number of times, it's just a shame to see tptbsa.com emails if you're also upset at our enemies continually punching themselves in a circular motion in the face, rhetorically speaking, obviously, or violence. Which brings us to number three, speaking of positives from the administration currently, this from the National Review. So much is being said about all of the geopolitics, the waste in specific states, the border issues, ice. There's so much going on, all of it, a lot of it probably necessary that sometimes we kind of miss things. But this, I think, was great. From the National Review. This is Jack Crow writing a first step towards actually shrinking the government. The Trump administration, kind of flying under the radar with all the things going on, has reduced the federal civilian workforce by 352,000 employees over the past 14 months. Remember, when President Trump got into office, Doge was like the big thing. Then he started working on a bunch of different projects that needed to be taken care of and maintained the Doge mentality without it being like the prominent story. People are focused in so many different places and they should be right. These other, these other stories are a big deal. But also we should credit where credit's due represents about 12% decrease in bringing the federal employee employment to its lowest levels since 1966, which is wild. The reductions achieved primarily through 150,000 voluntary buyouts and lawful reductions in the force rather than mass firings, which I think we will start to see that from a dollar amount maybe a year or two down the road, because remember, if you're buying out some of these contractors or whatever it is, chances that you're going to see it on this year's balance sheet, probably not likely, but hopefully we start to see those dividends pay off in our decreasing deficit. Hopefully we'll see. We'll keep everybody attuned to the situation as we see fit. But that is some good news that's probably not necessarily talked about as much as it should be given all of the other things going on around the world. What is not good news though is LA's homeless price crisis. This from Breitbart Bass. The mayor of Los Angeles says this on 40% of home of leaving homeless housing program. 60% staying is actually a great percentage. Just to set this up, Los Angeles Mayor Karen bass defended the $300 million of the Inside Safe Interim Housing Program in Los Angeles. Unfortunately though, the Los Angeles Times, which is not a conservative outlet by any stretch of the imagination, reported and revealed that 40% of the participants have, have left. So of the people that participated. Right. That's not, that's not all the homeless people. Right. It's not 40% of all the homeless people. And we, we've taken care of 60% of them. It's 40% of the people that participated. Which I'd like to see those numbers. We don't have them in front of me right now, but chances are they're not high to begin with. Of the small percentage of homeless people that participated in the program, only 60% of them have stayed. The mayor of Los Angeles said this is great, great. This is a great percentage. Calling it literally called it a great percentage. She acknowledged that the 40% departures rate is concerning but noted that there's some uncertainty about the whereabouts which is her thing. We actually don't know, which is hilarious. Now I would say 40% failure rate is more than concerning. If I don't know. My wife went to target and 40% of our total income was just gone failure rate, that, that wouldn't be good. I would say that's, that's not a great success, a great percentage as Mayor Bass put it. But I don't know, what do you expect from lib mayors in the way that they run lib cities. You know, we've got one more to get to and it is an important one, but maybe we'll save it for later on in the week because it is a little bit evergreen because I do want to get to so many of the clips that we have in official business. Remember, official business is when officials officially communicate to us, which makes it our business, which makes it official business.

What do you think about the Iran situation as a whole at large, I would love to Hear your thoughts. TPTPUSA.com is that email address. We'll be right back with official business after the break.

I'm currently doing Mary's taxes and I looked at her pay stop. I'll show the people the millions that I'm making. I'm doing Mary's taxes and I look at her pay stub and I look at federal withholdings and there's nothing in the box. I'm like, babe, they made a. They made a mistake on. Change it. They made a mistake on your withholdings. Like you got to go to HR cuz they don't have any with holdings. I'm like, pull up your pay, Stu. What? How much am I going to have to owe?

Joe Bob
Why would they do. Why would my job do that to me? You filled out forms when you first got. I did not. I did not. You know, this is. Man, we could probably do a whole thing on this too. I think withholding taxes on each paycheck is the biggest scam of the American taxpayers as a whole. The waste in Los Angeles, California, Minnesota. The biggest scam is withholding your taxes on your paychecks. 1 say you get a refund at the end of the year. Well, that money could have been in the market and instead of earning any sort of interest, the government was just holding on to it, not earning any interest, not doing anything with it. And therefore you are the loser. Also, you kind of just forget about it. You kind of. And I don't know if I do this to myself to, to feel, feel the pain, to just fuel my rage at the federal government just as a whole. But every year on April 15, which is coming up next Wednesday, the worst day of the year, I write a big old honking check to the federal government and unfortunately, some to the state government of California. And that just, it hurts more. But people, I know several people that on April 15, they go, Look, I got some money back. This is fantastic. No, but it's not the money you got back. It's the amount of money that you paid. And a lot of people just don't notice. If every single person was not allowed to withhold any federal taxes and that every single April 15, they were required to write a check, they would look at the number on that check and we would have a revolt overnight. Not necessarily a violent one, but rhetorically and from the ballot box. Do not waste my freaking tax money. I see how much I paid, and I'm furious. Probably went a little bit long on the analysis of that hilarious video, but she was. She further on went to be shocked by how much money she owed, which, again, I think that that person is going to be a concern that's a conservatizing life event. So I think there should be more of that sort of thing, as funny as that video is. All right, hey. Official business is when we officially officiate the official business of our officials. I like that was a pretty good one. So when officials say things, it makes it our business, and therefore it is official business. First up, in official business, regarding the total and utter meltdown that everybody lurched to with President Trump's routine head fake. This is, again, he's negotiated like this his entire life. He wrote an entire book on negotiating specifically like this. And when he negotiates like this, people are somehow just continually shocked. Jen Psaki, I Don't Believe in Silent Letters, was on PMS now, and she was interviewing Governor Wes Moore asking, you know, given the fact that President Trump is showing us how he negotiates, which is how he's done it his entire life, because he's negotiating the way he's always has. Should we invoke the 25th Amendment? We're not going to invoke the 25th Amendment. On President Biden, who clearly can't think anymore, but because President Trump is doing what he's always done since the beginning of his business career. Should we invoke the 25th amendment? What he said is actually kind of interesting. This is cut six. Governor Wes Moore on official business. Do you think we're at a point where invoking the 25th Amendment is warranted? What's your view? Well, I've long said that Donald Trump should not be the President of the United States. You know, this. What we saw this weekend was not a. Was not in some kind of aberration.

Oh, he didn't answer the question there. I mean, obviously Wes Moore as a governor does not have a vote in the 25th Amendment proceedings if those were to take place. But he said, I've long said. Since I've long said President Trump should not be the president. Well, duh, you don't like the guy. I had long said that Joe Biden should not be the president. If I had, you know, the political inclinations that I do now when President Barack Obama was getting inaugurated and elected, I would have also said, I have long said Barack Obama should not be the president. That's not saying anything. You already don't like the guy. We already know you don't like the guy. Answer the question, you putz. Even though it's a ridiculous question. Fun to watch. Watch the entire lefty establishment kind of melt down over again the way that President Trump has kind of always negotiated, it seems. But it didn't stop there. Unhinged lib. Representative Jason Crow seemed to threaten President Trump. I don't want to use that term. You know, aggressive term seems to be what he did here. President Trump and those who worked for him got seven. Well, accountability will come sooner or later. You can't hide from that. We are taking names. I'm creating my own lists of people that need to have oversight and accountability. It is so important right now that people understand that if you're in this administration and you're asked to violate the law or violate your oath or turn your back on the Constitution, that you will be judged one way or another at some point or another. You cannot escape it forever. You can't hide behind a mask. You can't hide behind your desk. You can't hide behind your title. We will seek accountability. Wow. He's going to keep his own list. That's. That's shocking, disturbing, and very scary. My guess is his list is like typing into Grok. Hey, make me a list, please. I don't think he's actually going to make his own list. And two, I don't know what I always going to do with that list we're taking. Dude, you're in Congress. Not, not to like, belittle Congress, but there's. There's 435 members. I don't. Any clown can get elected to Congress. You, you got no power, dude. Just calm down. Recognize your standing on the totem pole of power and just chill out, bro. And also too, you know, kind of a, kind of a ridiculous thing to say out loud. Hey, we, we're Taking names. We're going to prosecute everybody once we're back in power. Oh, so maybe we should do that now ourselves. Rounding out official business today is Representative Summer Lee, who took the stage after Hassan Piker, I guess, at a rally and.

We saw it in the civil rights movement and we saw it with apartheid South Africa. We will see it in Palestine. We will see it again here in the United States. You know, I'll say this and this, this maybe can be somewhat of an olive branch, a peace offering to folks because I will say this about our side too. Sometimes folks who don't have great things to say think that volume will mask these stupid ideas. Just yelling into a microphone doesn't make your ideas any better. You're just, you sound dumb. Louder. Right, like, right. So just so we're clear, because some people, some people, some people on our side tend to have a similar. Not that their ideas are worse, but it, it's more powerful if you say it louder. It's not. Some of the most soft spoken people I know are the smartest people I know and I'm sure that's like that in your life too. Just because you're louder doesn't make your ideas less stupid. We could probably dissect a lot of the stuff going on in there to all the things she actually said were ridiculous. But just on a, on a 30,000 foot view baseline. Just because you scream into the microphone and because people who are very dumb collected in a room cheer, doesn't make you right. Take note everybody. All right. Hey, it's Wednesday. So what is it? What is it? Is it Taco Wednesday? Is it MAGA wins. Oh no, it's woke Wednesday. Coming up after the break, tptpusa.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, let us know.

You cover it with the tarp or. Yeah. How Long you been here? Here? Yeah. What else? Where do you get all this stuff from? No. All right, so that's just some dude who built a house on the sidewalk in Los Angeles. And of course that's crazy and ridiculous. But again, my question as it continues to be anytime this sort of thing comes up, is, is he paying freaking property tax, Right. What is the property tax on the sidewalk of la? I also recognize the irony of having just said yelling doesn't make you more right, but it's passion coming through. I am right. And passionate. What are these people paying? If you sleep on the beach in Santa Monica, do you pay property tax on that? I think you should. Maybe we should just bill them for it and then put them in jail for not paying their tax bill. But we're not a serious people to allow folks to just build entire structures on the sidewalk and say, I'm homeless. Pay your property taxes. Goof. All right. Hey, it's Wednesday. So many of you. Well, I wanted to replace the zinger for Woke Wednesday, but many of you have emailed US, which is TPTP USA.com if you'd like to email us wanting to keep the OG Woke Wednesday zinger. So here it is. Woke Wednesday. All right. I just want to get right into it. Let's. Let's play this clip from what's his name? Zam. Zam. Danny Moron. Anyways, tptbc.com if you have any thoughts on how you pronounce it, this is him. Here's Woke Wednesday. Amidst being in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we already see an exodus of working in middle class New Yorkers. So I don't have a hesitation in asking those who make the most amount of money in the city or the most profits in the city to pay a little bit more so that everyone can actually stay in this city. It's also something not just about justice or, or the ability for working class people to live here. It is also actually about ensuring that corporations can continue to attract the top talent to this city. Because in a city where child care costs more than $20,000 thousand dollars a year, I've heard from corporate leaders about how difficult it is for them to attract individuals who would work at their companies but want to raise a family. Because you could be making $300,000 a year and you will feel that $20,000 a year because of the fact that we have allowed for the absence of affordable childcare to become reality here in this city, we honestly could do an entire hour breaking this down. So he's saying middle class people are leaving New York City. So he wants to tax rich people more so that middle class people won't leave. Rich people are the most mobile, right? And this is not really like a pro rich people thing. It's just the reality of it. Like rich people don't need to live in New York City. They can live in Miami and then just take a plane back and forth as they please. Hey, I'm not a resident. I'm just here for business 140 days out of the year. I also have some property here. You can't. Rich people are the most mobile. You know who taxes hurt generally all the time is the poor people. And you could also include that. There might even be a strategy. The rich people could just all go to West Palm beach for however long it takes for New York City to crumble. All the poor people leave, then they come back and go, wow, this is fantastic. There's no more poor people to take care of cuz they couldn't. The city crumbled so they just all left. So there's that. Also he wants to attract top talent. Well, hold on. The top talent tends to be the rich people which you just said you wanted to tax more. Generally speaking, I am not attracted to a geographical location that says they're going to tax me more. Those are two competing interests. And lastly here, and I hit his example of people struggling to pay childcare are folks who make $300,000 per year. I think they'll be okay. I just, I'm just again, I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to be like one of those, you know, hate Wall street people. But I, I, I don't think we need to help them out a ton. I think, I think if you make $300,000 a year you'll be fine. I don't think they and who making $3,000. $300,000 a year is sending their kid to the government funded child care. I, that's sick. Zam. Danny. Awesome. Hey, we're gonna round the day out with some emails. Mailbag is the next segment. TPTP USA.com if you'd like to be included or the possibility of being included, let us know.

I say more power to them as long as they're the same race. Just trying to show you how far I've come. I'm willing to meet you halfway. Oh, that's. That was good. That was a good twist. I wasn't sure where he was going with that, but that. That zinger at the end got me. All right, mailbag. TPTVSA.com is the email address. Mark commenting on Truth Social. Interesting. He said that I said, which I did. Twitter or. Sorry, Elon's X is the most. The best place to get real time info. He said factually untrue since the president exclusively uses True Social. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. On technicality, Mark, I'll give that to you that. That makes sense. Uh, I think one of the issues is not. Not issues, but one of the. This only happens with President Trump. Most presidents don't use the Internet like President Trump has used the Internet. So I. If you're looking at, like reporting because, you know, the White House, the, The press office of the White House, NASA. I don't know why NASA's at the front top of mind, the Defense Secretary. Everybody's on X as well as Trump. Truth. So I would probably say both of those are very important news outlets. John writes this. He wants to be precise on about what. What a dying civilization means. And this is actually a very, very good point that I meant to bring up yesterday. Just didn't. For whatever reason, the death of a civilization doesn't necessarily mean the death of the people involved in the civilization. A civilization is the culture of society, the infrastructure that you build. President Trump was saying, hey, we're going to bomb power facilities, we're going to bomb bridges. That's. That is effectively the civilization. There are people in New York City and there are people in, I don't know, random village in Zimbabwe. Both are civilizations, but one is a better civilization, more technologically advanced than the other. Bombing the infrastructure would effectively ruin the civilization. That is a good thing to point out, John. Patty, on the topic of Newsom's PR firm, Newsom paying $19 million to an NYPR firm to clean up CA's images. Like putting lipstick on a pig. It is still a pig. Patty. The only correction I would like to make here, and thank you for the email, is don't insult pigs by comparing them to California. That is a Matt. We're talking. It's a pigs. You know might not be among the highest ranking in our animal kingdom, but guy a pig would be. You insult a pig by calling it California. Keep trying to sell the lie she says correct. As she also said keep up the great work tbt. Thank you so much Patty. Really appreciate it. Several other emails we don't have time to get to keep them coming though.
