Episode Overview

This episode of Turning Point Tonight takes a sharp, energetic look at contemporary politics and culture through a conservative lens. Host Joe Bob focuses on three main topics: the “godsend” of Democratic Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett in Texas, the irony surrounding Seattle’s upcoming “Pride Match” for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and debates about school attendance rates in the context of immigration enforcement. Additional segments explore a lawsuit by FBI agents fired over BLM protest conduct, and there’s plenty of audience interaction, off-beat commentary, and quick-witted asides throughout.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate Candidacy – A “Gift” to Conservatives

Timestamps: Begins at [01:42], deep dive through [17:08]

• Joe Bob’s Position:

  • Calls Jasmine Crockett’s candidacy a “godsend gift from the libs to the conservatives just in time for Christmas,” arguing her policies and persona virtually guarantee a conservative win in the general election ([01:42]).
  • Scoffs at her running on an anti-Trump platform in Texas, calling it “not a winning strategy in any way, shape or form.” ([05:17])
  • Predicts she will win the Democratic primary but then lose the general by “at least 20 points.”
  • Suggests her candidacy is self-serving: "She's either monumentally stupid or it's a cynical act trying to elevate herself." ([09:04])

• Notable Quote:

  • Joe Bob: “I never thought I would see the day where I would agree with 100% of what is in this ad.” ([05:17])
  • On Crockett’s campaign logic: “Yeah, we don't need to convert any Trump voters in a state that President Trump has won three times. That's just, mathematically, that doesn't check out there, Jasmine.” ([09:04])
  • Labeling Crockett: Repeatedly uses the “cynical or stupid” framework to analyze her moves ([09:04], [13:24]).

• Crockett Policy Focus:

  • Plays a clip where Crockett entertains the idea of “black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time” as reparations ([10:49]).
  • Joe Bob ridicules the syntax and policy: “That was Kamala esque, some of the word salad that she strung together,” and critiques the idea as “ridiculous.” ([11:54])

• Campaign Launch Oddity:

  • Plays (and mocks) the campaign launch rap: “Did he blame the US government for Pearl Harbor there?” ([16:07])
  • Argues that the campaign’s rollout only helps conservatives: “Give this lady a microphone, give her a platform…that only makes our conservative ideas easier to promote, easier to defend when she's the one talking.” ([15:01])

2. Seattle Pride Match – Irony and Cultural Commentary

Timestamps: Begins at [22:00], main discussion through [29:09]

• Setting:

  • Seattle will host a 2026 World Cup “Pride Match” between Iran and Egypt—two countries where homosexuality remains illegal.

• Joe Bob’s Analysis:

  • Finds the decision “ironically hilarious,” positing that FIFA may have deliberately scheduled two teams from anti-gay countries for the U.S. Pride event: “You're trying to tell me that… there wasn't some forethought or some planning?” ([24:14])
  • Details severe punishments for homosexuality in the participating countries.
  • Skeptical that Seattle’s organizers will change minds: “If Seattle thinks for a second that they are going to make any amount of headway into changing the hearts and minds…they are disastrously mistaken.” ([28:06])
  • Critiques excesses of Pride as counterproductive even within the American gay community: “Even sane gay folks…will go, why are there half naked men gyrating on the sidelines of this quote unquote Pride match?” ([27:35])

• Notable Quote:

  • “That is unbelievably ironic, and I can't help but think that FIFA did this on purpose.” ([24:14])
  • “What they're going to do is put on just outlandish nonsense…it's going to have the exact opposite effect.” ([29:09])

3. School Attendance Drops Linked to Immigration Enforcement

Timestamps: Begins at [34:17] through [39:00]

• The Story:

  • ABC News reports on school attendance drops—purportedly due to increased ICE operations in cities like LA, Miami, and Charlotte.
  • Joe Bob sees this as a positive: “Which is good, I think. I don't really see a problem there.” ([34:17])
  • Argues that reduced attendance could reduce taxpayer burden and ties school funding to actual residents: “If a bunch of people who are in the country illegally…and their kids don’t show up…that is a good thing.” ([36:02])
  • Contrasts media framing (“terrible thing happening”) with his own viewpoint.

• Notable Quote:

  • “School attendance is dropping – good. I, I, I don’t want to cater to the teachers unions which are really just looking out for the teachers, not the students.” ([37:10])
  • “How is this a bad thing? I don’t know if that makes me a bad person... but it kind of sounds great.” ([36:02])

---

4. FBI Agents Fired for Kneeling During BLM Protests – Lawsuit & Controversy

Timestamps: [41:43] – [46:14]

• The Lawsuit:

  • Several FBI agents who kneeled during the 2020 BLM protests were later terminated. They claim kneeling was a “tactical” move—and not political—to avoid escalating with protesters.
  • Joe Bob is skeptical of their defense: “I don't buy that for a second. But that is a really, really interesting angle, politically speaking.” ([45:05])
  • Points out the new argument is about a “tactical decision,” not ideology or discrimination.
  • Asks rhetorically whether anyone is “entitled to a government job” if they don’t perform as required.

• Notable Quote:

  • “You're criticizing the tacticians here that are deciding to embolden the rioters by kneeling with them…That’s what they were doing. They were trying to avoid further violence. I don’t buy that for a second.” ([45:05])

---

5. Audience Mailbag & Quick Takes

Timestamps: Begins at [48:22], selected emails read until end

• Typical Themes:

  • Low IQ Voters: A listener, Scott, claims Crockett’s popularity comes from “half this country [having] a low IQ,” to which Joe Bob affirms (“statistically correct”).
  • “If it walks like a duck”: Multiple audience quips on gender identity and political labels.
  • Leftist Policies: Several emails, echoed by Joe Bob, voice frustration at crime and left-leaning governance in blue states.

• Tone:

  • Joe Bob reads and responds to praise, criticism, and audience humor in a colloquial, punchy style.
  • “If your email is vile, disgusting, bigoted, and terrible, you have a better chance of being read on this show.” ([47:00])

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Jasmine Crockett’s impact:

  • “I hope she gets through the primary… to lose by 15 points, even widening the gap even further.” ([17:08])

• On the Seattle Pride Match:

  • “This particular game, this particular weekend, this particular city, in this particular stadium is going to be Pride. How does FIFA respond to that? ... Well, it's gonna be Iran vs Egypt, both countries where being gay is illegal.” ([24:14])

• On school attendance and ICE:

  • “LA Unified School District… saw a 4% decrease, which honestly is kind of a lot… Could it be that possibly there’s a bunch of illegal immigrants in those areas that are afraid to get deported?” ([34:53])

Overall Tone & Style

Joe Bob delivers commentary with a punchy, sarcastic, and unapologetically conservative edge. He leans heavily on ridicule, irony, and cultural references, frequently appeals to his audience's sense of embattlement, and positions “mainstream” and “woke” elements as self-defeating or absurd. Though humorous, the tone is combative and dismissive of opposing viewpoints.

A godsend gift from the libs to the conservatives Just in time for Christmas in the form of a Senate candidate. Also, the Pride match that is going to be taking place in Seattle. The match is now officially set and it is ironically hilarious. Also, are you entitled to a government job? Some fired FBI agents are asking that via a lawsuit. All that more coming up on this episode of Turning Point tonight. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. This is Turning Point tonight. TPTCOM is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms. We actually got a decent amount of criticisms the last couple of weeks here. Those are all welcome. TPTP USA.com we're not libs. We're not shutting down dissent so you can send any longer thoughts, criticisms. Again, concerns stories that we should be covering. TPTP USA also go subscribe to our Turningpoint Tonight YouTube channel as well as our Facebook page, the Instagram, all of these social media accounts. You'll be able to find it easily with my ridiculous name Admittedly, just type in J O B O B. Pretty much anywhere. You'll be able to find all of the online exclusive content. All of the social media platforms rumble. Facebook, all of them. All of them. Just J O B o B. All of the turning point tonight. Online exclusive content too, interestingly enough. Maybe we'll discuss this further later in the show. Yesterday's One Last Point Point segment, the extra segment that we don't have time for here in Real America's Voice, got a ton of backlash. I'm apparently in the minority here, at least according to the comments on Facebook. Like hundreds of them saying I, I will. Well, we will discuss that possibly later on in the future. But now we have to discuss what I believe is a godsend from the libs to conservatives in the form of a Senate candidate. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett announced her candidacy for Senate in Texas. In other words, conservatives are gonna win that election by a lot. Doesn't even matter who's running. Uh, Senator John Cornyn is running. Ken Paxton is running. Wesley Hunt is running. All in the conservative side of things. Uh, obviously I have my preference of who in that mix should be the ultimate winner. Uh, but at the end of the day, whoever comes out of the primary is going to win. If in fact, one Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, does win that lib primary. There's actually a lot of complexities to get to into this, especially considering what it is that she's actually doing. But we'll talk about that briefly after this. I never thought. I know some of you are going to roll your eyes here. We're going to play her entire announcement ad that she posted to all of her social media platforms. I never thought, thought I would see the day where I would agree with 100% of what is in this ad. Play this. Cut 6.

How about this new one? They have their new star, Crockett. How about her? She's the new star of the Democrat Party. Jasmine Crockett. They're in big trouble. But you have this woman, Crockett. She's a very low IQ person. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. Crockett. Oh, man, oh, man. She's a very low IQ person.

Somebody said the other day, she's one of the leaders of the party. I said, you gotta be kidding. Now they're gonna rely on Crockett. Crockett's gonna bring him back.

I wholeheartedly agree and endorse every single word in that Congressman Jasmine Crockett ad. She used the Trump voice. You know what it is and you may have already seen that video, but the point being made here is she is running entirely on anti Trump in Texas. Thankfully I can probably guarantee you that that is not a winning strategy in any way, shape or form. And what it does is it positions her against the more moderate lib who, who is running. A guy, what's his name? Tal Rico? Eric Talrico, Paul Talrico. Talrico Talrico. I think his name is a moderate. Ish dude claims to be a bunch of different moderate positions. Probably actually isn't. Probably is an undercover lib but he's running for that seat in Texas as a, as a lib and up until yesterday, which by the way was the deadline to file for this race. Up until yesterday. Hey, you know, is kind of a, kind of an interesting race to run. We all saw Beto O' Rourke come within three points in 2018 of beating Senator Ted Cruz in the crucial Senate seat in Texas. But turns out a Brown not gonna win the primary. It's probably gonna be Jasmine Crockett who will lose by 20 points in the general election. At least I, I think. And thank goodness. And by the way too, this is an interesting move considering the libs are losing ground in the state of Texas or at least that's how I can see it from a number standpoint. Like I mentioned, in 2018, Beto O' Rourke came within three points of ousting Republican Senator Ted Cruz in the midterms of President Trump's first inaugurate or first term. And in the more recent Ted Cruz election, the candidate there alred lost by 8.5 points, which means the gap is widening thankfully hopefully in Texas. And that's not. Well, there's a lot to be said about the politics going on in Texas right now, but I think one thing that we can say definitively is Jasmine Crockett hopefully will not win and therefore this is effectively just handing the election to conservatives. Now why do I think that she's actually running for her own benefit, not actually to win a Senate seat? Well, because either she is entirely cynical, which I think is probably more the case is age old question that we've been asking. Cynical or stupid? Stupid or sadistic? Not really sinister is the term we generally use. Generally speaking, I think we can point to different variables as to that show what it actually is that is happening here. And in this particular case she's either stupid or entirely cynical. Judging by this particular clip. Either she can't do math or she's doing it entirely cynically, entirely sinisterly for her own personal gain. Watch this cut on CNN where the host asks, hey, how are you gonna, how are you gonna win over Trump voters? Watch this cut 7.

[Commercial Announcer]

How you make voters who previously voted for Trump, particularly given that you have.

[Joe Bob]

Been an outspoken critic and he has.

[Commercial Announcer]

Inserted himself, just take your campaign video as is. He has inserted himself at every turn when it comes to your commentary. How will you convert those who are.

[Joe Bob]

Supportive of him to voters for you?

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, I don't know that we'll necessarily convert all of Trump supporters. That's not our, do you need to, Our goal is to definitely talk to people. No, we don't, we don't need to.

[Joe Bob]

Yeah, we don't, we don't need to convert any, any Trump voters in a state that President Trump has won three times. That's just, mathematically. That doesn't, that doesn't check out there. Jasmine, again, either monumentally stupid or a sinister act. A cynical act trying to elevate herself. Now, here's the only problem with entirely thinking that this is a cynical act of her trying to bolster her own name ID for something that's going to happen in the future, which I think is actually what's happening here. What I think is actually happening is, is she's trying to use campaign dollars in a statewide race that she will lose to bolster her own name id, maybe to see if she can run for president in 2028. I don't, don't scare me with that one. That one could be crazy. Uh, but I think that's what actually is actually happening. However, the problem comes when you actually see videos that she's put out or she has given interviews that she has given in which she talks, which somewhat blur the lines between sinister and cynical and stupid. Because there's this video that has now been floating out there since she's announced her candidacy for Senate, in which case, just listen to the syntax here. Just says a bunch of words, I don't even know if she knows what they mean. On top of the fact that the idea that she's pushing, which she got from some celebrity, she doesn't remember who, but some celebrity said this, and she's like, yeah, this actually might be a good idea. There's a lot here, this is a minute long clip. But I, I, I could not cut it down to a point that was, that was better or worse because all of it was crazy. There's several points to get to and we'll break it all down after you watch this, this is cut 8. Her talking about what I think is going to be a Hallmark policy position for the Senate candidate, Jasmine Crockett. Watch this clip. 8.

[Commercial Announcer]

Just this past week I saw, I don't remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity. And I was like, I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea, but I'd have to think through it a lot. One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time, because then again, that puts money back in your pocket. But at the same time, it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars. But obviously then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that. And that's one of the reasons that, you know, we argue the reparations make sense because, because so many black folk, not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the other things. Right. But the fact is, like, we end up being so far behind. Right. And so it's like, how do you bring forth people? Exactly. And so it's like if you, if you do the no tax thing for people that are already, say, struggling and aren't really paying taxes in the first place, it doesn't really exactly. They may want those, those checks like they got. Exactly.

[Joe Bob]

Okay. So first things first. She starts off saying, this actually isn't a bad idea. It was a celebrity that came up with this idea. But it's actually not bad. Black people don't have to pay taxes. And that's, that's, that's actually maybe a good idea. And then she goes on saying something of, well, this might not be objectionable. Yeah, I'm not even. That was like Kamala esque, some of the word salad that she strung together to then argue with her own point that she made. And I understand you're trying to steel man an argument. I guess you're trying to steel man a policy position. But to start off saying this is actually a pretty good idea, maybe black people don't have to pay taxes, which honestly, you know, as a black per black identifying person, for the sake of the irs, which I believe every single person watching this would also do if that were the case. You know, I, I wholeheartedly support, yeah, nobody should have to pay taxes. And if you get a break from that, I think that's a good thing. Again, only if I can also identify as a black person. If I can't for some reason, one, there's an ideological checkpoint there that, oh, kind of can kind of confuses your arguments a little bit there, Libs. But two, yeah, if I can't identify, then you know that you don't get a break for the color of your skin. That's, that's ridiculous. But then to go on and say actually, well, I like this idea, but, but also it might be a bad idea because then she admits something crazy. Well, uh, black people by and large don't pay taxes, so it's not really a huge benefit to them. They actually want checks instead. I.

What, what point are we making here, Jasmine? Again, I I, I tend to believe that she's doing this specifically to raise her own name id, raise her social profile so that she can do something else bigger in the future. I don't know, maybe get a reality TV show. Probably get a talk show on PMS now. Sorry, Ms. Now the logo is a little bit funky and I, I get confused by it. I think that's her end goal. But at the same time, when I watch clips like that, I go, oh shoot, she might just be dumb, she might be stupid. Tptpsa.com Sinister, cynical or stupid? I I, I've mentioned this a couple times. I this, I miss the old libs where I, I didn't think they were stupid and I knew for a fact they were being cynical and stupid like Nancy Pelosi. At least I knew what was going on there here. I I just, I don't, I don't know. I'm so confused by this. Which, speaking of confusing, this is probably the last thing we'll say to hit our good friend Congresswoman Crockett, which, by the way, I've been saying for months on this show, give this lady a microphone, give her a platform, let her do all of the things that she wants to do, because that only makes our conservative ideas easier to promote, easier to defend when she's the one talking. But speaking of stupid and ridiculous, her campaign rollout yesterday, we won't play any portion of hers, but we're going to save you the Jasmine Crockett sound bits because I'm sure you've probably heard them by now. What you may have not heard is the rap that opened up her campaign inaugural event.

There's a lot to this I did, I tried to cut it a little bit shorter so we can tolerate it. But, but I want you to watch whatever this is and know that this is coming from a Senate candidate's official campaign launch. Cut nine.

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay?

[Joe Bob]

She ain't never scared and she ain't never been. Who is willing to Go toe to toe against the President. I can't wrap my head around someone who votes Republican. She advocate for feeding kids. They protect folks through touching them. Trump invading his own country with our army. What a joke. We remember Pearl harbor by illegally bombing boats, which I thought we wasn't gonna do nothing, buddy. Think again. They only trying to scare out of running cause they think she'll win. Yeah, there's a, there's a lot more of that and it only does get dumber. But I'm pretty sure. Did he blame the US government for Pearl harbor there? Did anybody catch that part? President Trump invaded his own country, which of course is not true. We don't need to relitigate that point. But then he kind of says, well, just like Pearl harbor.

What? Like what? And then, and then the final line there. And I think this is kind of wraps this up in a nice pretty bow. They're only scared of her because they think she'll win.

Okay, if, if that is the thought on the lib side of the aisle, if that, if the thought is that we are scared of Jasmine Crockett because she might become a dominant political force on the American scene, good I, that I am in favor of that. I mentioned when we were doing the Megyn Kelly tour with Donald Trump Jr. He gave his full throated endorsement to Vice President former Vice President Cabal Harris to win the DNC nomination in 2028 for the president. I think the same thing about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. I hope she gets through the primary. I hope she takes out the more moderate, more difficult guy to beat, whatever that guy's name, Tallo, Rico. I hope she takes that guy out in the primary. I hope she gets all the way to the general.

To lose by 15 points, even widening the gap even further. Now it's going to be an interesting race on the conservative side. Like I said, there's, there's three, three guys vying for that spot. We'll see who comes out of that ahead in the primary. Um, but I think this is a godsend. I think that Texas, unfortunately, due to a lot of freaking blue state people moving there and then for some reason not separating why they had to leave California specifically from the policies that they bring to Texas. Hey, I, I, I had to leave California because it was just a total mess. But oh, by the way, I gonna keep voting for libs in the new state in Texas and Idaho. And I know a bunch of you people that live in these states hate that. And believe me, I hate it too. But I, you know there's a little bit of concern that concern, at least for me, entirely washed away with one Jasmine Crockett. And I may be a little bit more cavalier about this than other commentators, but I just electorally speaking, I think she has zero shot and I think her running, especially if she can win that primary, means good news for conservatives. Uh, we got a lot to get to. The World cup is having a pride event, a pride game. The people playing the teams playing in the pride event are hilarious and I do think there's actually some thought that went into that from FIFA. Also, FBI agents who got fired for protesting protesting the George Floyd death by taking a knee want their jobs back. Are you entitled to a government job? Also, really interesting story out of ABC News. Again, their their perspective on it is ridiculous and wrong. But they're highlighting these school attendance numbers that have been dropping due to ICE presence in certain metropolitan areas which great, that must mean people are self deporting a lot of stuff to get to tbtpusa.com what do you think is going on with one Jasmine Crockett? Is she stupid? Stupid or sinister and cynical? Let us know tbtpusa.com as well as any other thoughts you have on any other topics of the show. We will be right back after the break. Don't go away.

I'm in the process of making a time machine and I want to World War II from ever happening. But then I got to thinking why wouldn't I just stop World War I? That also stops World War II. And who caused World War I? Franz Ferdinand. So when my time machine Works. Getting rid of that guy.

That is a. That is a good and honest historical joke. You either get that or you don't. And I would imagine that everybody watching this show understands the humor in that. Uh, the irony there is very. I'm not gonna explain the joke. It's funny in and of itself, and if you don't get it, you don't get it. But that is a funny joke. Uh, the people who probably won't get it are a bunch of libs who don't understand history because the only way that you could come to woke ideologies to not understand history, not understand global context, not understand historical context, not understanding anything like the good folks in Seattle, Washington. Seattle, Washington recently made news electing literally a socialist and someone named K. Katie Wilson, who has promised some ridiculous things, but now is promoting Pride Night. Seattle is hosting a couple World Cup Pride matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Pride match is scheduled for June 26 at Lumen Field, which coincides with Seattle's Pride weekend, which.

I'm glad it's narrowed down to a weekend, but I was going to make a joke there, but no, it's. It's still the whole month for some reason. They get an entire month and then a bunch of different days during the year. I don't understand any of that. Lumen Field will host a total of six World cup events during the tournament, including a U.S. men's team second group stage on June 19, which is before the Pride match. Incoming Mayor Katie Wilson said this quote, our city is ready. The fans are ready. I can't wait. FIFA World cup is coming to Seattle and we are excited to be a part of the global celebration with matches on Juneteenth and Pride. We get to show the world that in Seattle, everyone is welcome. What an incredible honor. Everyone is welcome in Seattle. You know, unless you disagree with the libs and their woke leftist ideology, then you're not welcome. But everybody else is welcome. Now here's where I think this is actually pretty interesting and I do think FIFA does not approve of what is going on in Seattle. The Pride Match was planned well before teams were selected and before the 2026 World cup draw took place in Washington D.C. seattle's local organizing committee announced a Pride match design contest over the summer and inviting artists from Washington state with quote, credibly authentic representation of the u the LGBTQ community to submit a bunch of concepts. Last month, the committee announced the three finalists for the Pride design. Yada yada yada. The whole thing is basically saying we are going to make this a thing. This particular game, this particular weekend, this particular city, in this particular stadium is going to be Pride. How does FIFA respond to that? And by the way, notwithstanding, there's, you know, a lot of corruption that goes on in FIFA. We don't necessarily get into that here. Uh, but they basically then made a decision who is going to play in the match during the Pride match in Seattle. Well, it's gonna be Iran vs Egypt, both countries where being gay is illegal.

I'm not laughing because I condone any of this. I'm just condone the treatment of people in foreign countries. It's just. It's unbelievably ironic. And I can't help but think that FIFA did this on purpose. Homosexuality is illegal in both of the countries of the two teams that are playing in the Pride match. You're trying to tell me that that wasn't coincidental or that was coincidental and there wasn't some sort of forethought or some planning that goes in FIFA saying, ah, yeah, you know what? No, absolutely not. Here's the two themes we're gonna throw into this Pride match, just for the record, and I apologize if this gets a little graphic. Feel free to, you know, mute or come back here in five minutes when this is done, but I think this is relatively interesting. Punishments. Punishments in Iran for being gay. The active partner in. Wow. I can't say that the active partner will just leave it there. Let your imagination run for what it is. Can be punished by death, typically execution by hanging the passive partner. And again, do with that what your imagination will. Can also be punishable by death, except for in some interpretations where they are coerced or underaged.

This is. This is where it gets a little crazy here. The punishment required requires four confessions or testimonies from four righteous male witnesses who personally saw the act. Okay.

Producer Glenn is like, what? So four dudes have to witness the act in order for it to be punishable by death? Yeah. So goes without saying, it doesn't happen super often. But at the same time, the culture around.

Homosexuality in these countries are not what the. The LGBTQ folks in the great city of Seattle, formerly great city of Seattle, are probably used to.

Here's the thing.

What Seattle is trying to now spin this as is. Well, this is great. We are going to get to show all of these team members from these two countries where being gay is illegal, how things really work, how. How society should be, how accepting everyone should be. I can guarantee with full and complete certainty that it will have the opposite effect for these two teams and in these two countries. I can guarantee that the Pride celebrations at the Pride Match are going to be so outlandish and ridiculous that even sane gay folks, who there are several who exist, even some on the conservative side of the aisle, will go, why, why, why are we, why, why are there half naked men gyrating on the sidelines of this quote unquote Pride match? If Seattle thinks for a second that they are going to make any amount of headway into changing the hearts and minds of the people of Iran and Egypt by putting on this Pride Match where both of their national teams are playing, they are disastrously mistaken. Because what they're going to do is put on some just, just outlandish nonsense we've all seen. I don't need to describe it. We've already been a little bit too descriptive in this segment probably already for some of your comfortability. But what they're going to do is they're going to replicate what takes place during Pride parades in the stadiums, and that is going to have the exact opposite effect on the teams and the people in the home countries watching the team. They're going to watch that and go, oh my gosh, this is terrible. And it's just as disgusting as we all thought it was. That's what's going to happen in the home countries of the teams that are playing in the Pride Match in Seattle. And I will note that several, again, normal gays is what I'd like to call them. Several normal gays. The same types of people who speak out against the Pride parades, which again, have half naked people, men, women, just perusing around the streets in front of children. The same, the same normal gays that look at that and go, what are we doing? Are going to look at this Pride Match and go, what is this? This is not representative of, again, the normal gay community. It's going to be a mockery of just craziness and it's going to have the exact opposite effect that the organizers think it will by celebrating air quotes.

Some craziness that again, ironically, is punishable by death in some of the countries that are the two countries that are playing there. So there's that coming up. I want to talk about immigration and the enforcement and how it's affecting some school enrollment in the big metropolitan areas. ICE's presence is having a negative effect on school attendance, to which I say, good. I'll explain why after the break. Tptbusa.com is the email address. Also coming up, those FBI agents that were fired over kneeling over George Floyd have a really interesting twist in their lawsuit. I don't buy it. And we'll. I don't know.

The covers that go on the airline pillows are thrown away at the end of the day. Most flight attendants don't want those dirty pillows, but I found good use for them. Before I do anything, I make sure that I boil them down. By boiling the pillow covers, you're basically sanitizing them, getting rid of any germs or lice or anything that passengers might have left behind. These are the ones that have already dried. What I do with them is I cut them into little triangles.

They make voila. The perfect coffee filter. No, every good deal is not a good deal. The airline threw them away. They throw them away for a reason. These pillowcase coffee filters save Stephanie about $6 a year.

Absolutely not. I I love this. I love the frugality, but absolutely freaking not. Oh yeah, there's people from around the world who could have lice and other terrible viruses and diseases who put their head on these pillows. I use them to filter my coffee to say.

That was the worst thing we've ever showed on the show. All of the other crazy that is the worst thing I've ever seen. All to save $6. I don't care if I save $1,000. Coffee filters are not that expensive. We all know this. Oh my gosh, where do we even go from here? We're talking about immigration enforcement from schools. I don't even know how to transition that. There's no, there's no good. I'll just, I'll be blunt upfront with you folks. There's, there's no good transition from that. Holy cow. TPT of tpusa.com if you have any thoughts about that. I would imagine 100% of the emails we get regarding that particular video is, oh my gosh, that's horrible. While I can appreciate frugality in its 30,000 foot view, broader sense, that is not okay in any way, shape or form. And I would agree with you. Tptpsa.com Here's I think a thing that I thought was really interesting. ABC News, we've never really been kind or charitable to ABC News because they obviously couch things in a leftist mainstream media context. But this I thought was really interesting. And obviously we come to entirely different conclusions. But ABC News goes with headlines says this. Here's how immigration enforcement is affecting school enrollment in some districts. ABC News reporting that the Trump administration's surge in immigration enforcement has created a chilling effect on students. Student attendance in school districts nationwide. In other words, I guess illegals are afraid to send their kids to government schools.

Which is good, I think. I don't really see a problem there. Preliminary data from some school districts shows no large scale enrollment plunge other than certain areas where ICE is operating. Okay, well, those certain areas seem to probably be a thing that we want to zero in on. Interestingly enough, there are some school districts that don't have really any actual big drop in Chicago after federal troops were sent in September to aid enforcement. The school system reports remains largely consistent with the last year with some, you know, different data points going up and down minimally, but basically all of the kids were showing up to school in Chicago. In Washington, D.C. basically the same thing. They go on to talk about a bunch of different states, but basically within 1 percentage point of the year prior. So Chicago and Washington D.C. didn't really see a ton of drop in enrollment for their schools. But Los Angeles Unified School district, the nation's second largest school system, has a 94% attendance rating for 2025-2026 school year they saw a 4% decrease, which honestly is kind of a lot. And same goes for Miami Dade County. What kind of demographics exist in the greater Miami area as well as the greater LA area? Is it, is it, could it be that possibly there's, there's a bunch of illegal immigrants in those areas that are afraid to get deported which again there, this, this whole thing is couched in very. Oh no, this is terrible.

Not entirely sure I see a problem here. LAUSD experienced a drop of more than 16,000 students to start the current school year coinciding with immigration operations, illegal immigration operations. ABC News.

The most dramatic example is this. After federal agents implemented Charlotte's web In Charlotte, North Carolina, about 30,000 students were absent from the Charlotte school district on the first day back. That represented about 1 in 5 students missing about a 14% drop from regular school attendance. Not sure how those. Oh, I guess that about 1 in 5, almost 20%. 14%. That is a big number. The question then is how is this a bad thing? I don't know if that makes me a bad person. I don't know if that makes me a mean person, but it kind of sounds great. Especially when you factor in that a lot of schools and a lot of school districts around the country, their funding is directly tied to student attendance. Which means if a bunch of people who are in the country illegally and shouldn't be going to school here and their kids shouldn't be going to school here and they should be in a different country, those school districts are getting either state or federal tax dollars. That's bad. And if those people self deport or don't show up to school and eventually will get kicked out of the country or will self deport later on and the numbers go down and therefore the funding goes down, therefore the taxpayers save money. I not entirely sure why that's a bad thing, but again ABC News and bunch of libs saying this is a horrible thing that is happening. Now what unfortunately makes this not necessarily relatively worse, but it is another variable and another factor is that the school districts in Charlotte and Los Angeles and Miami all have remote learning options, which means that people can stay away from schools and still quote, unquote, learn online. Now we're not going to have a discussion on whether or not that actually works because spoiler alert, it doesn't. It didn't work the entire time that it was being implemented during COVID But I hope that's not a way to get around the lack of funding or the funding that these school districts will lose if people who shouldn't be in the country aren't attending schools. All this to be said is this is a, a big touchstone for lives. Oh no. School attendance is dropping. Good. I, I, I, I don't want to cater to the teachers unions which are really just looking out for the teachers, not the students. And that's not to say anything there. I'm sure there are great government school teachers that watch this show. I appreciate what you do. We're not talking about you. What we're talking about is the Randy Weingartens of the, of the country. The union bosses who try to suck every single dollar out of the taxpayer and fail to educate the students. Specifically in some of these school districts who are performing terribly. And honestly, God should probably lose a bunch of funding. I don't know how this is not a just a total slam dunk. It makes sense. Yeah. If people are in the country and they're attending schools, government schools and using taxpayer dollars are not showing up and therefore the funding to those schools goes down because the attendance rate is going down, that is a good thing. That shouldn't be controversial to say. Speaking of controversial, a bunch of FBI agents are suing the Trump administration. They're, they're asking for their jobs back. Now the twist that they're making is actually kind of interesting. I don't buy it. Just for the record, I think that's a stretch here. But it is actually interesting to see what they're claiming as their defense as to why they should get their government jobs back. That and more coming up on here on Turning Point tonight. Let us know in the email box what you think of the school attendance dropping. Is that a good thing? Do you care about that at all? How does it affect your school district?

The Instant Goose is a technique where you goose the first duck instead of going into a duck rhythm. The best time to use this technique.

[Commercial Announcer]

Is when the player before you does.

[Joe Bob]

A lot of ducks.

[Commercial Announcer]

It's the change in rhythm that throws them off.

[Joe Bob]

Pay close attention to the way I act.

[Commercial Announcer]

Once I, I become it.

[Joe Bob]

I act tired and disengaged, then I strike.

You can't do that.

[Commercial Announcer]

Actually, as of right now, the Instant Goose is still technically tournament legal.

[Joe Bob]

He's got a knife. At this point, your opponent will likely try to stab you. What you want to do here is block, disarm, knee to the groin.

How am I supposed to tie this back into the political climate, the political culture? I maybe, maybe we can say this is the type of thing that you might be prepared for, not only in Duck Duck, Goose, but to ride the railway system in several major metropolitan areas around this country. You might get stabbed or lit on fire, which is a risk that you take if you ride public transit in, I don't know, deep blue cities like Chicago or Charlotte or New York City, which I guess then leads us into who's policing those public transit systems. Maybe it should be the FBI. Speaking of the FBI, a bunch of them are suing the Trump administration trying to get their jobs back. As as a 4 of 10 transition there FBI fired agents who were fired for kneeling during the 2020 BLA BLM protests are suing to get their jobs back. I've got a picture for you. We're going to pull it up in just a second, but let me set this up briefly. FBA agents who are photographed kneeling during a Black Lives Matter protest in Washington on June 4, 2020 following George Floyd's death have since been fired. The agents filed a lawsuit on Monday. They described themselves as highly trained counterintelligence and counterterrorism special agents. Now, here's where I think their argument. I don't buy it, but it is an interesting twist going on here. They claim that the protest that they were out in front of was a hostile environment, both to individuals alongside families with young children. The agents say that, well, we were thrown out in this. We were not equipped to handle this. We did not have protective gear. We didn't have non lethal munitions for the crowd control. So they claim they made a tactical decision to not upset any of the violent rioters that were participating in this BLM protest. They decided, well, hold on, we don't want to anger them, so let's Just participate with them in order to de escalate the situation. They decided to take a knee and as a result, the people moved on from them and didn't escalate the situation and didn't escalate it to violence.

And then claiming that they, there was a win because they did not need to discharge any of their firearms or non lethal music munitions that day. So what they're saying is they kneeled not because they agreed with the protesters, but because, well, we didn't want to anger the protesters. Now, I want to show you that picture and let you draw a conclusion for yourself. Does this argument hold up? This is graph Graphic one, Glenn. This is the photo that a bunch of the masked, overweight female FBI agents claim. No, no, no, no. We were doing this tactfully. There was a specific reason here that we took a knee and it wasn't to show our support because clearly we. We can't support people burning down streets. Obviously, the FBI wouldn't support that. That's not what we were doing. We were trying to de escalate the situation by showing our solidarity with the violent rioters.

I don't buy that for a second. But that is a really, really interesting angle, politically speaking. And from a lawsuit standpoint, what they're not saying is, well, this is a, you know, a personal attack, because then you, you can make any argument a personal attack. Uh, we've seen that with federal immigration judges that the Trump administration has fired, and they've obviously doubled down on that. But to say here, no, this is a tactical move. You're criticizing the, the, the tacticians here that are deciding to embolden the rioters by kneeling with them, that. That's what they were doing. They were trying to avoid further violence. I don't buy that for a second, but it is a really interesting, interesting component. Now, the then FDI FBI director Christopher Wray said that he understood that they had to de escalate a dangerous situation. The then Deputy director, David Bowditch, told them that they would not be penalized after a bunch of internal reviews and all that stuff during the previous administration. But after the administration changed the administrator, the leadership changed in the FBI.

They said, yeah, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna actually take some action here. Cash Patel was confirmed on 2020. In 20. February 21st. After his confirmation, um, well, a bunch of things. We don't need to go and summarize this whole thing, but with the internal investigations that are still pending, A total of 12 agents, nine women, three men, were fired September 26, 2025 the reason given officially was unprofessional contact, unprofessional conduct, and a lack of impartiality and carrying out the duties leading to the political weaponization of the government. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi say they were are claiming that, well, this is all fine. And I kind of happen to agree with them here. The broader point being made is do you have a right to a government job if you get fired from your government job for not doing the government job to the level that the leader of that government job deems, are you entitled to it? I happen to think no, but I guess the court system will figure that out. I don't buy their argument here, but it is actually interesting. Not one that I would have seen coming necessarily. So there's that. TBT tbsa.com were they kneeling to, Were the masked overweight women kneeling to de. Escalate the situation or did they actually go, yeah, no, we actually agree with this. So we're gonna, we're gonna show that we can do all the things the protesters are doing even as FBI agents. What do you think? TPTB USA.com is the email address.

What was that? Hold on. I gotta see that again. That, that, that looks like a driver who's singing along to music.

I laugh because I'm terrified. There's too many illegals driving on our streets not paying attention to what's going. We already have enough of a problem with Americans texting and driving. I don't know where this is. I don't know who this is. And I have no evidence that this person is an illegal. Uh, and there are too many illegals with driver's licenses driving on the streets. We already have a big enough problem with Americans texting and driving. That's wow. Drive big cars, I guess is the, the conclusion to that. Let's get some mailbag here. Tptpsa.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms on the topic of, let's see. Oh, on the topic of 1. Jasmine Crockett Scott says the reason she has a following is unfortunately, about half this country has A low IQ that statistically is actually just factual, right? If the average IQ is, you know, where the average IQ is, I think it's about 100 in the United States. But if the average IQ is where the average IQ is, by definition half of those people are below the average. That's, that's how averages work. And so technically Scott, you're just factually, statistically correct. Half the country has a low IQ when it comes to the basic life principles and how the wheels go round and round and unfortunately have no Christian values. Which I think is actually the bigger, broader problem here. You can't attend church and just play Angry Birds on your phone. That. Yes Scott, I'm not entirely sure who's still playing Angry Birds. I think that was like a 15 year old original iPhone game. But you know you can't do that. You got to sit and actually listen to the sermon.

Steven says this on the topic of the, the video how we should have played it again because I thought it was so funny that the lady in Ikea who wanted a tray that and then asked her wife who was a dude who whether or not she could have the train that the dude said a very dude thing even though he's dressed as a woman saying you can't have that, you don't need it says this if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, probably a duck in the same line. If it looks like a dude, sounds like a dude, probably a dude. There you go. I yeah, I agree.

Let's see they say Stephen. I think it was Steph actually. Sorry Steph also talked about the Ma' am Danny over there in the video that he was playing trying to skirt around the laws saying you know he's not actually advocating for New Yorkers, he's advocating for illegal New Yorkers for some reason and not actual New Yorkers. Keep fighting the good fight. God bless. Thanks Steph. Renee or Renee from Montana. Send me an email tbt.com how am I supposed to pronounce that? It's I'm not going to spell it cause I don't want anything any people to go crazy on that Montana girl here. Pretty sure it's Renee. Montana girls here talking about the. The good folks in that are unfortunately running the great state of Minnesota says yeah they got their feelers hurt. Never could imagine anyone being so thin skinned jury and being so ridiculous. I think I typoed their putting that into here. But yeah, Tim Walls and his daughter very thin skinned, very offended. Very unfortunate situation. On the topic of Minnesota, I don't have time to read this entire thing, but Dean sent a big, long email about folks who are allowed to steal from Walmart and folks who are not allowed to steal from Walmart. He said, this is anecdotal, but he said, yeah, people of a certain look about them and Walmart employees aren't going to stop them from wheeling an entire cart worth of stuff out of the store. Which from my experience is correct, is accurate. But if you do it, you're, you're not allowed to do it. It's kind of like being on the streets. You can be an absurd, crazy person yelling at people on the streets, walking in front of traffic, doing all the crazy things, vandalizing. And if you're homeless, it's totally, totally fine. You're allowed to do that in the state, state of California. But if you're a productive, taxpaying member of society, you're not allowed to do any of those things. You're not allowed to poop in the streets. Which, by the way, nobody should be allowed to poop in the streets. Um, let's see. Oh, Edward also sends an email in the last couple seconds we got here regarding Ilhan Omar. How is. I can't. Edward, I can't use a lot of these words on tv, but the basic sentiment is productive. She's saying, she's saying all of the people who are America hating illegal immigrants to the country are productive. Are you kidding? Produce what? Except for fraud. Good email, Edward. Just can't say a lot of the words you said there. Tptpca.com is the email if you'd like to be included in mailbag. That's going to do it for us here on Turning Point tonight we do an extra segment of this show called One Last Point. It's only on our Turning Point Tonight social media channels.
