Which is generally where libs find themselves. And we have plenty of receipts with their new iteration of we are gonna do this thing, but if you guys were doing the thing, we'd complain about it quite a bit. Also, interestingly, President Trump shared some insight into his sexuality. I that might be shocking, but it is true and he said it on the record. And speaking of sexuality, the Kansas legislature overrode a veto to well, we'll get to that story. It's actually very interesting and a little bit funny. Also, thanks so much for tuning in. My name is Joe Bob. The show starts right. How many times in recent memory have we seen libs complain about conservatives doing a thing? Except for the conservatives thought that that thing was off limits other than the fact that the libs did the thing just a couple years prior and again now they're complaining about it. I'll explain all of that. We've got a long history of that sort of thing happening. But I gotta tell you, if you want to email the show, tptpc.com is that email or leave a comment wherever it is that you are watching. If that email or comment is disgusting, vile, bigoted in nature, there's actually a good chance it'll fit in right here on this show because that is what we've been called by several lib media outlets. I think it doesn't I don't need to get in the specifics of it, but they're somewhat hilarious. And so, you know, I figured let's try and make that the the standard here. Send those emails as if we actually were the show that the libs portrayed us to be. TPT@tpusa.com is that email address. Also on a personal but I guess professional note, we're going to do a bunch of comedy shows. Specifically, we're starting things off March 19th in Anaheim, California at the Grand Theater. Announced that today. Very, very short window of time before that event happens, but going to Be announcing a lot of comedy shows coming up here in the near future. But if you happen to live in in the Southern California area and would like an evening of non woke hilarity, March 19 at the Grand Theater in Anaheim is where I will be on the Star Spangled Banter Tour. You can get tickets at any of these social media platform sites or send us an email if you want a link to tickets if you happen to live in that area. But don't worry, we're also going around the rest of the country. So libs consistently complain about things that conservatives are doing that they did not all that long ago. But the difference is that nine times outta 10, actually probably more like 99 times out of a hundred, the libs are the ones that broke the precedent to begin with. In other words, conservatives are doing a thing that they never would have done except for the fact that libs did that prior to them doing it and now are complaining about conservatives doing that again. I know it's kind of a little bit complicated to, to follow all the pieces here, but this comes in the wake of the new proposed alternate programming. And we'll get to some of the irony about that in just a quick second. When President Trump gives his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Several House libs and several Senate libs are planning to skip President Trump's upcoming State of the union address February 24th. And instead, not only are they skipping it and boycotting it, they're actually getting this idea from another fantastic organization, although it's entirely different. They will be offering counter protesting, counter program, big Freudian slip. But also, I think that makes sense, counter programming to the. So to, to protest the President's policies. The major alternative event is going to be called the People's State of the Union, which will be a rally hosted at the national mall, I think 8:30pm With a bunch of lawmakers that say, hey, we really, really, really don't like Trump. Um, and just, just to throw it out there, there are some mainstream libs that are like, this is dumb. Don't, don't do this. But of course, the libs are much more difficult to control their woke side, which is their biggest problem right now. Unfortunately, they all fall in line on policy. But the woke side is what runs the entire thing. And this is what the woke side wants to do. They want to offer counter programming to President Trump's State of the Union address and the minority leader to do his credit, I guess Hakeem Jeffries has advised. Yeah, don't, don't do that. That's silly. And the reason he's saying that is is because, well, it is silly. Now, the one thing that we probably should address at the onset of this is, you know, you might think, well, counter programming, isn't that something that TPUSA did? Well, first of all, for legal reasons, no. It's just an event that we decided to have at a particular time on a particular Sunday. Wasn't counter programming at all. Wasn't attempt to draw a crowd away. In no way, shape or form was that an attempt to counter program a big football game that anybody watched. This was just an event that happened to happen at the time that we scheduled it to happen. But the old idea of counter programming, yes, is a real thing that we conservatives should do a lot more. And I am so glad Turning Point USA is doing things like that. Having said that to anybody who is making the claim, well, the conservatives are doing counter programming, why don't we do counter programming? If you do not know the difference or can't bring yourself to understand that there is a difference between a concert that is being performed again at various times on any particular Sunday and the State of the Union address, I would advise you to get your head checked by your local doctor at the very least, maybe even a psychiatrist, because clearly the, the counter programming to a concert is very different than the libs trying to counter program one of the oldest institutions in our country. Obviously the speech, the State of the Union address started becoming a speech. She's early 1900s, I think prior to that it is. It was a letter. It was a letter written from the president to the, to the legislature. Um, and it's constitutionally mandated. You have to give an update as the administration to the legislative branch saying, hey, here's what's going on. Now, of course, it's been, I don't even wanna say politicized necessarily, even though that's probably accurate. It's turned into a thing that it probably wasn't really intended to do. But it's still in the Constitution. That's a requirement and therefore it is done. And everybody up until now pretty much always showed up to that sort of thing. Libs are the ones who break precedent. And I guarantee you, if this were to happen the next time there is a lib president, and if any conservatives boycotted, which by the way, I don't think they would, if that were to happen, libs would scream and cry their heads off. Now, just to give some references here about how often libs do this sort of thing that is break precedent and then get mad at conservatives for continuing that precedent that they've now set, having broken the precedent prior to that. Uh, as a couple examples, I give you the 2020 election. This is Senator Schumer. And again, I could have picked a thousand different libs saying the same exact thing in 2020, saying, oh my gosh, how dare you contest the election of the President of the United States. This is cut six. The Republicans should stop their shenanigans about an election that President Trump has already lost. Congressional Republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason but fear of Donald Trump. These Republicans are all auditioning for profiles and cowardice. Ah, yes, because the only people that have ever contested any election ever in the history of this country are conservatives. Except for when the libs did it in 2001, 2005, 2007. 17. In all of the other cases, that's the only time people contested are win. Conservatives contested. Just to refresh everybody's memory in case you need to. The libs kicked off the challenges to certifying the presidential election results starting in Florida in 2001 with Bush's win in Ohio, which was the first time the Senate got involved since 1877, and in multiple states in 2017 when President Trump beat Hillary Clinton. But again, now I can't. The, the conservatives are the only ones they, they, they are trying. Who. How dare they contest an election even though we did it a bunch of times. In addition to that, libs also get very upset when the idea is thrown around about ending the filibuster. Now, for the record, I am not a proponent of ending the filibuster. I think the House of Representatives is supposed to be this firecracker institution where it's a simple majority rule and ever anything it's, it's a chaos. And then obviously the Senate is known to be informed to be the simmering down. You need 60 votes in order to achieve cloture and therefore move the bill on to an actual vote. That's, that's what the two houses were deci. Were were designed to do. Uh, and of course I think the filibuster is a good reason, a good thing to have in order to stop the Senate from going crazy. Now, when any conservative as of recently said, hey, maybe we should do with the. Do away with the filibuster in order to get our objectives done here, his owl, a bunch of libs responded, this is a short compilation, but this is them saying, oh my gosh, we cannot do the nuclear option. That would be A disgusting abuse of this country and what it was designed to do. They can't do it. Cut 7. Filibuster should stay there. And I will personally resist efforts to get rid of it. I'm committed to never voting to change the legislative filibuster. That would be the end of the Senate. It raises problems that are more damaging than the problem that exists. You cannot change the rules in the middle of the game because you do not like the outcome. You're going to throw the entire Congress
A
into chaos and nothing will get done.
B
Who is that guy? I forget his name. He's. He feels like a forgetful guy too, but I'm. I'm not entirely sure who that is. Wow, that is some stern talk from a bunch of libs saying we cannot get rid of the pill filibuster when it's proposed by conservatives. However, where did the precedent get broken where that was even on the table? Oh, it was the libs. In 2013, Harry Reid decided to nuke the 60 vote filibuster for executive and judicial nominees, except for the Supreme Court, dropping it to a simple majority. In other words, getting rid of the filibuster was never even on the table except for when libs broke that precedent. And now that conservatives are saying, hey, you guys did this thing, even though I don't think that thing should be done, you guys did the thing. What if we considered it? They go, no, absolutely not. That's a. That's abhorrent. That's terrible. Also, precedent that lives have broken. Inauguration boycotts, over 50 House libs skipped from Trump's first swearing in, protesting the election's legitimacy, which, by the way, is the. Is. Is the only people who do that as conservatives, as evidenced in 2020. There's been a bunch of State of the Union boycotts in 2018, as led by John Lewis, in 2020, led by AOC. Coordinated absences for ditching the State of the Union. Now, I would love to play you videos of libs calling out conservatives for doing that, but we also, we just never done that. We've decided, hey, tradition is important. And, you know, even though we may win some, we may lose some, you know, we support the country and therefore, yeah, we'll attend the inaugurations and the State of the Union addresses. So there's no videos of libs condemning conservatives for doing the very thing that they themselves started because we just don't do that sort of thing. On top of that, lives of broken precedent about breaking quorum and leaving states. We all remember legislators in Oregon Definitely more widely known in Texas when they bounced to the most gerrymandered state in the country in order to stop gerrymandering here, as well as pushes for the Supreme Court expansion. That's obviously been a lib thing that has gone on. Now, fortunately, that hasn't happened. But also the last time it was brought up, of course, was also by a lib. FDR in 1937 tried to break precedent there and, and throw a bunch of his people on the Supreme Court. Thankfully, that failed and it didn't result in any change. Uh, but the only people bringing that sort of thing up nowadays are libs. And if there are any conservatives doing that, it's in direct reaction to the libs threatening to court pack. Um, the last thing is the whole challenging the changing of the rules in the elections, not necessarily challenging the outcomes of the elections, but libs as we've played a bajillion clips of them talking about the SAVE act, it's sexist, it's racist, because black women are very stupid and can't get an ID to vote, which of course is absurd. But that's the belief that libs hold very, very upset about possibly getting voter ID in place. But that wasn't the same in 2020. Libs during COVID led to expanded mail in ballots, wanted extended counts, and even sometimes got around state legislature. So again, they start things and then complain about when conservatives do the same thing, which is broadly the point I'm trying to make here. Here with libs saying we are going to offer counter programming to President Trump's State of the Union address next week. What they're effectively doing is breaking another precedent, which is the tradition of everybody going to the State of the Union address. Now, there are many presidents that I and you and conservatives alike have not liked, but we still go. And ultimately, what I am effectively saying here is we're the better people. Remember when Michelle Obama said, when they go low, we go high. That is directly out of that art of war principle that says accuse your enemy of that which you are doing. Libs always go low. And conservatives, thankfully, for the most part, stay high. At least we try to. And if there is any pushback on, well, okay, we're going to do this. I know this is out of the ordinary. Generally speaking, it's probably because the libs tried it beforehand. Libs continually light matches and then scream when there's fire. They continually complain about a deviation from the traditional norms, but they're the ones that did that in the first place. All in all, the new boycott and the counter programming of the President's State of the Union address is just another iteration of libs breaking with tradition. Tradition breaking with the way that things have been done in this country for several decades since the State of the Union address became a speech. And I can guarantee you, if this were ever the case where conservatives were boycotting a lib president, I don't know, in the 2000-30s or 2000 fort maybe that's the next time they'll win. Libs will be like, I can't believe they dared to do that, forgetting the fact that they were the ones that started it, as they almost always are. TBT tpusa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We will be back after the break to discuss the points of that's actually super interesting. Get to the points here because there's a lot of super interesting things going on around the world. TPTPCA.com is the email address if you'd like to send along any thoughts or want to give any examples of libs starting something and then getting mad when conservatives do the same exact thing. That is the email address. Tptpsa.com we'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

The piece on everyone's radar is their new reversible trench coat. It's navy on one side and a coastal plaid on the other. The perfect spring staple. Get your closet ready for spring plans. Shop Abercrombie in the app online and in stores. My pronouns are they, them. Or at least that's what I share with people most often. But for this particular meeting, I will come out fully as saying that my pronouns are she, they, him.
B
What does. What does that even mean? Your pronouns are they, them. But okay, well, let's. Let's ask you a break. What did she say? Her pronouns are she, they, him. So in theory, there is a scenario that could exist where someone says, oh, they're here. And then another person asks who? And then they say she is. And they go, what? Who's that? Oh, that's him. And all of that would be talking about the same person. As confusing as that is, they are here. She is who is it? It's him that didn't Okay, I just. At a certain point, do you continue arguing with the unfortunately mentally insane. I don't, I don't know how. I don't know. Tptpsa.com if you've had any other scenarios of she. They. Him. How give I would like some emails and we'll read those in the mailbag segment of how you would phrase that if someone actually could be she and also plural. They multiple people probably multiple personalities and also him. I just. Okay. I thought we were past this but apparently that's still something that is going on. All right. Lots of news stories to get to including some very important ones that not a lot of people are talking about. It is time to get to the point. Get to the point. All right. This is actually super interesting and something that I feel like is going to go under the radar because the only place I saw this was Fox News. U.S. thwarted a near catastrophic. Is it stropic or straw fi. U.S. thwarted nearly catastrophic prison break of 6,000 ISIS fighters in Syria. This is a major story. U.S. officials thwarted a near Castro. I just said that. Described as the worst of the worst were being held in northern Syria amid escalating clashes and instability with watch a bunch of different factions going on in Syria. Fearing that a collapse of the prison system could instantly reconstitute ICE as a major U.S. threat U.S. agencies coordinated a rapid multi agency which by the way it blows my mind that we're able to do this and I'm so thankful to live in a country where we can actually establish a military that can get stuff done. Multi agency operation involving intelligence, warnings, diplomacy, helicopters and secret transfers of mail fighters to Iraqi custody near the Baghdad International Airport. Basically they shuffled a bunch of things around, moved a bunch of prisoners around so that there wasn't an overwhelming mass of people of ISIS fighters in this one prison and and effectively stopped a prison break which is huge. That is again one of those things where I'm just dang excited to be an American and I'm happy that we are able to do that. Other news which I this, this is a big story that is getting a decent amount of attention but it's, it's going to set a lot of precedent and how it ends up going and how it turns out. Mark Zuckerberg testifies for the first time ever on social media and children's mental health. This is A summary from CNN. If you're not hip to this story. Meta CEO which runs Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and a bunch of other stuff people got the meta glasses and all that stuff which honestly I kind of want to try it kind of seems fun. They want to send me a pair mostly just because I want to, I want to record my kids without like having my phone out in their face. We try to leave our phones and this is a, this is a random tangent, but we try to leave our phones in one specific, in the bedroom pretty much all day. And then there's things that they do that are cute, that I'm, I want to just touch the glasses. Anyways, if Meta wants to send me a pair of sunglasses, that'd be great. I doubt it though. CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified for the first time in the Los Angeles courtroom on February 18th in a landmark trial where a now 20, 20 year old woman accuses Instagram and YouTube of intentionally addictive features that harmed her mental health, causing anxiety, depression and body dysmorphia starting at the age of nine. Now, the broader scope of this is, yeah, how does social media addict people to it? Not only kids, even though this is centered around kids. And I do think that's a very, very important demographic that needs to be looked at and needs to be taken care of. But more broadly, you know, what kind of features are in there to make people addicted? And even further than that, you know, what responsibility is it of the individual user to not become addicted to that thing? It's a really difficult question, a really difficult kind of needle to thread. But whatever comes out of this case is going to be really interesting to see if there are any changes made. Now, a bunch of social media platforms, including TikTok I think settled before it went to trial. But apparently, you know, meta and YouTube or meta and Google or Facebook, YouTube believes that no, we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that we do not intentionally try to addict people. Now, they try to keep people on the platform, but where that line is is difficult and you know how much responsibility falls on the user. It's going to be really interesting to see it play out. I'd Love your emails. TPTP USA.com where is the line that design decides okay, this, this is clearly an intentionally designed to addict young people versus don't be on your phone as often. I don't know, I tend to think, yeah, people are going to do what they're going to do. And you know, whose business is that? Well, it's theirs. But I'd love to Hear your thoughts. Tptbusa.com is the email address if you have any thoughts on that. Um, back to the Middle East. President Trump, this is from where is the CBS News as President Trump pushes Iran to make a deal. Scores of US Warplanes join a, quote, armada headed for the region. President Trump has ordered the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier and nail our naval armada towards the Middle East. Pressures on Iran to make a nuclear deal accompanied by a surge of US Military aircrafts, fighter jets. There's a bunch of political commentators who think we are very, very close to going to war with Iran, a long war with Iran. I'm not a big fan of that. Obviously, I'd rather not go to war. That being said, there are a lot of major things involved there. Iran is suffering from its own difficulties internally, as we've highlighted many times on this show. And the, the one thing that, that seems to be abundantly clear about dictatorial authoritarians, in this case Iran, when they're under threat domestically, often what they do to consolidate their populace is go to war. And unfortunately, they're probably taking aim at a lot of Western countries, including the United States of America. So obviously nobody wants to go to war, but at the same time, a conflict can be inevitable. Um, this is probably not the platform to learn. Flesh this out. It's just worth knowing. Digged into it a little bit on your own. The Trump administration has been fantastic, foreign policy wise. I would imagine whatever ends up transpiring here will be the best possible scenario, especially relative to the other people that could have been in office. So I trust President Trump and the US Military to do what's in the interest of the American people. That being said, this is a big, big story. On to a couple stories that aren't necessarily that big, not necessarily that important, but I do think are interesting. Uh, this from ABC News. Air Force One will be painted red, white and blue, as Trump has hinted. The U. S. Military says. The US Military has confirmed it has announced a red, white and blue, dark blue paint scheme for the new Air Force One jets, matching a model championed by President Trump. Boeing is modifying two of its 747, 800 aircrafts, which is, I guess, is replacing some of the old ones. You don't know there are two planes that are called Air Force One, but it's only called Air Force One if the President is on it. And both of those planes are exactly the same. Boeing's making some new planes because, well, they're needed and so there's. Yeah, that's, that's why they're making new planes. It is interesting here. I do want to, Let me, let me pull up this graphic. This is a rendering of the proposed new painting of the plane. Now here's where I think this is interesting. I love your thoughts here. TBTP USA.com send us an email on this. Growing up, I always knew the President flew around on his own plane. I knew that. I thought just by, you know, this is what I thought Air Force One would look like. I just assumed that that's what it looked like. When I saw the baby blue plane for the first time in whatever a picture or on tv, I was like, that's Air Force One. That doesn't look like Air Force One. And an interesting thing has happened to me over the last 20 years or so, 20, 25 years of seeing that baby plane and thinking it should have been this to now getting used to the baby boot played and thinking I just don't really like change. I like this plane. This is what I thought the plane initially should look like. This looks and feels more like what the President of the United States should be traveling around in, not the baby blue thing, which is not really even in our color palette as a country. Having said that, I've now gotten used to the baby blue one. And this to me, even though it's something that I thought should be from the beginning, I don't want to say it looks odd, but it just, I don't know it. I don't like change. Maybe that's why I'm a conservative. I'm not a big fan of change. But anyways, this is what a potential rendering of what this is going to look like. The military has said that yes, this will take place. Let us know tbt tpusa.com if you agree with this, if you think it's a good color change. If your thoughts are kind of somewhere near mine where it's like why I don't particularly care and I do think the other one looks more presidential. I'm just used to the old one. That's kind of where I fall last. And this is completely irrelevant but I do think kind of interesting. From the California Post. Thousands of swimsuit wearing red swimsuit wearing hopefuls turn out to a Baywatch casting call. Apparently Fox is rebooting Baywatch for some reason and they put out a casting call. So anybody who wanted to be in Baywatch gets to come to this casting call. There are about 2,000 people that showed up. There was 20 different simultaneous audition rooms and the series, which is run by Matt Nix by the way, he's done quite a quite. Was he the Lost guy? I think he might have been. He also might not be but set to premiere 2026, 2027 season the reboot so happening possibly later this year. What I've said this about many different types of folks. If you have the time to stop what you're doing or take time away from work to throw on a red bathing suit in February and go to a Baywatch casting call, is there any feasible way that I can purchase some of your time? Because I don't have time to, I don't know, get a quick 30 minute run in most days, let alone drop everything I'm doing, go to LA in February wearing a bathing suit, spend hours on my day sitting there at a casting call for a show I'm not going to get cast in. It's just a waste of time. And maybe that's why I brought this, to highlight the fact that some people waste the time. I could use the time way better. So there's that. This has been the edition of get to the Point. Coming up next, Official Business. We've got several interesting official business clips. Official business obviously is where we discuss the official business being conducted on the behalf of the American people. Tptpj.com if you have any emails, thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms about the show, about my appearance, about the stories that we cover, or something that we need to be getting to. That is where you email. Tptpusa.com we will be right back after the break. Don't go away. Do the same diets as white women. We lose less weight and we lose it slower even when we're following the diet than our white women counterparts parts. It's literally that the racism that you're experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don't work for you. The same. Okay, so food is racist now. Also diets are racist. You know what I think is interesting about this is I actually here's a hot take. I actually understand where she's coming from. She's wrong, but I get it. What she's saying is that it's really not a race thing. It's a, it's a social class thing. What she's saying is it's harder for poor people to lose weight because of all of the external stresses that we have. And it's therefore difficult because we stress eat more even though we're dieting. And the hormones. Okay, again, wrong. But I understand it now why it has to be a racial thing. I never have any idea. Generally all of these things happen to be poor person mentality versus you know, the belief that you can achieve things and the external factors around you are just things that you have to deal with. You know, Regardless of whether or not you want to. And if you have an attitude that says, well, I'm gonna be positive about the situation and continue my life forward, generally things work out better just. They just do. Especially when your perspective is correct. But at the. At the end of the day, yeah, the. The idea that food is racist is, you know, I won't get into that. You can also make the argument that that's just factually not true. You don't have enough money. Go buy. Go buy the cheapest food possible, which is at the grocery store, which, generally speaking, would be healthier for you. Just a thought. I just. Just a thought. Um. All right. This is my favorite part of the day. This is my. Where we get to go around the political legislation, legislative bureaucratic universe and discuss what is now known as official business. All right. Official business is anything that a person in power, either bureaucratically appointed or duly elected by the American people or even people in their own respective states say in real life, in public that we get to comment on because they're in power and have some sort of power. So anything they do, say, do, or want, even, is official business. Our first order of official business comes to us from Kansas, where a representative at the state in Kansas, Abby Boatman, who is a dude who is dressing as a woman for some reason, probably a severe mental disorder, had kind of an emotional meltdown when there was a veto in the Kansas legislature overturning a thoroughly reasonable veto. Sorry, sorry. A thoroughly reasonable law. That was. Bill that was vetoed. The state legislature said, nah, this is too crazy. We have to overturn this veto. Here is the state representative in Kansas on official business. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On its face, this bill obviously discriminates against transgender people in ways that make our lives exponentially more difficult and dangerous. But more insidiously, it is yet another way of policing women and our bodies in the absence of men and masculinity being subjected to the same scrutiny. There's no outrage about trans boys playing in sports. There is no hand wringing about husbands and sons sharing their bathrooms with trans men. This is about blaming women for the bad behavior of men. And yes, of course, all of those things that were said are 100% true. There's no outrage over dudes in bathrooms with young girls. Uh, there's no outrage about dudes beating up on women in sports. Uh, all of that outrage is a total and utter lie, except for the fact that they had override power in the state of Kansas legislature to get rid of the governor's veto of a thoroughly reasonable law. This is after the legislative House voted 87 to 37 to override the Kansas, Kansas governor's veto of a bill that banned biological men from women's bathrooms and locker rooms in public buildings and defined sex at birth and requires accurate IDs. All just disgusting, vile, bigoted, and very, very reasonable things. Uh, and yet, of course, we have people on official business stating what is plainly not true from a powerful position that they were unfortunately given by the American police populace, at least in this case, the Kansas populace. How does Candace get a lib governor, by the way? The governor of Kansas, Governor Kelly, she is a big time lib, said, hey, this thoroughly reasonable thing that everybody agrees with, I'm going to say no. Thankfully, there's enough votes to over to overturn that veto. But that's crazy. Speaking of libs saying in, in some cases even admitting ridiculous, crazy things, here is representative of Vermont, House representative in Vermont, Becca Balance, who kind of says something that I don't think she thought of, but it's kind of the exact reason why we want things like the SAVE Act. Watch this. The whole premise of the SAVE act is to prevent folks from voting illegally, people who are not citizens. But we know that it's just a minuscule, minuscule number of people. Okay, so that's too many people, Ms. Becca. It's just Bill Maher had a great example as he wasn't using this analogy in the context that I'm using this analogy. But it's like the single turd in a pool joke bit scenario. Yeah, there's just one turd in the pool. Go ahead and jump in. No, no, we zero turds in the pool. One, I don't believe you. That it's a minuscule amount. I think that's probably rampant. But two, even if it was, even if what you were saying was true, it's still kind of a big deal. It's, it's just one turd in the pool. Okay, yeah, sure, it's not a pool full of turds, but it's one turd in the pool. I ain't jumping in. It's just a small amount of illegals voting. Okay, well, it should be zero. That's why the SAVE act is important. I don't even know if she meant to say what she was saying. Maybe she did. Maybe she has no idea of what's going on. Uh, but speaking of the SAVE Act, I thought this was actually interesting, kind of in a counter point to that. Uh, this is Senator Cruz, interestingly enough, pointing out Some of the insane hypocrisy and irony going around regarding voter id. Watch this. An ID to drive a car. Yeah. You need an ID to buy a beer at a bar. You need an ID to get on an airplane. You need an ID to get married. You need an ID to watch an R rated movie. And here's. Here's the kicker. You know what you need an ID to do to go to the Democratic National Convention? In fact, one of my colleagues, John Ossoff, the very little Democrat from Georgia, he had a big rally standing up saying photo ID is racist. It is terrible. You needed to go to John Ossoff's rally. A photo id. Exactly. You also, you know, you need to. You know what you. And this is actually really interesting. I forget who the representative that posted this was. Do you know what? You need to vote in the House of Representatives, and I also think in the Senate, too, you need a freaking id. So, yeah, it's. It's racist for you to have an ID to vote wherever it is that you live, but it's not racist in the halls of Congress where you need an ID to cast a vote on the behalf of the American people that put you in that seat. Hilarious. Uh, to wrap up official business. Some people may think this is hokey, some people may think this is jokey, but I think this is a very, very serious. Don't I? I'm not laughing. I think this is a very serious and pertinent and important declaration made by President Trump regarding his own sexuality. I teased this at the beginning of the show. Uh, here it is. This is President Trump issuing a declarative and decisive stance on his own sexuality. Got 11. It's always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't mean we have to like you. I don't like young, handsome men. Women like men. Know I don't have any interest. Good. That's right. That's right. Thank you very much. You're doing a great job. There you have it. President Trump does not particularly enjoy the company of young men. He says he likes women, as is something we all thought and knew. But I'm glad that it's now being officially declared in official business. Very important. Thank you, President Trump, for clarifying something that probably didn't need any clarity, but I appreciate him doing so. Anyways, uh, we'll be right back after the break to discuss the Thursday tribunal, where I act as the justice and the jury, the judge and executioner, if necessary, if the judge, who is also myself, deems it necessary. You know, an executioner is obviously in order, but that will be after the break. TPTVSA.com is the email address. We'll be right back. Don't go away.
A
All right, Kevin, a quick last word.
B
Oh, wow.
A
Which I'm not sure.
B
You're all nuts. Like, that's just. Oh, my God.
A
Thank you, Gavin.
B
That's.
A
Guys, we got to keep it together here, okay? Honestly, I mean, there's. There's a way to talk about these things. If you don't have anything to say, just say that, and I won't come to it.
B
Very important. You don't. I just said something very important. That's Kevin o', Leary, Canadian, by the way, saying, yeah, at the end of the day, you guys are all just nuts. Like, I don't. How do you rationalize with somebody who's outside of their mind? I don't know. And he basically said it on air again. You guys are freaking crazy people. Also, too. There's. There's the element. And this is the thing that we've tried to discuss on the show so many times. Is it. Is it crazy or is it evil? Do they actually believe the things that they're saying? And in this case, the CNN panel, do whatever these libs said to trigger Kevin o' Leary to go, you guys are nuts. Do they actually believe what they said, or are they just pandering to their audience? And which one is worse? I actually don't know. Um, so there's that. Uh, it is Thursday, and therefore every Thursday, as we've done now for the last one Thursdays, is Justice Thursday. It is the Thursday Tribunal Thursday Tribunal.
A
Justice Thursday.
B
That is aggressive, but also necessary. Uh, on this edition of Thursday, Tribunal or Justice Thursday? I think I feel like I like Justice Thursday more. Um, I bring you some kids at a high school campus. Apparently, because of the Internet and because of social media, high school kids have decided we can leave school to protest this. Assistant principal or truancy office or principal, whoever it was, said, nah, laying down justice on these kids. Uh, and of course, I will decide whether or not the principal or the adult in charge here is guilty of any crime or if he's able to go free and go about his business. This is cut 12, like the class, and we're good. If you stay out here, we will get your names. You will be suspended. Okay, that is your option at this point. Point. Because you are operating outside the bounds of what was granted. That event was canceled. You left school without you. That school without permission. Your rights do not supersede the school so if you understand that that is your option, if you wish to return, Dr. Damiani will let you in that door over there. If not, I will be getting your names. You will be suspended. Okay, Those are your options. What are we doing? All right. Your rights do not exceed that of the school. I love that so much. There have been so many videos of kids walking out of school, which I made the case, I believe it was last week, maybe the week before, of like, okay, cool. Well, the school shouldn't get funding for those kids being there because that's my tax dollars that are supposedly going to educate the students, which I received some sort of cultural benefit from for societal benefit for. But if they're not gonna be in class to provide me with that societal benefit, I don't want my tax dollars going to that school. Now, that is the case that you could be making from a financial incentive structure. But this assistant principal, I think, at this school does otherwise. I love it. The principal or the adult in charge saying that kids will be suspended if they leave campus will not face any charges. Here on Justice Thursday. He's free to go. Uh, the court in. In session does not. Well, I guess we can't find him not guilty because there were no charges brought. He was never indicted to begin with. I gotta figure out how my legal system here on Justice Thursday works entirely. Um, very quickly, I want to play this last clip. This is. This is one that I will be issuing my own judgment on. Ed o', Keefe, who is a correspondent for CBS News, who asked Caroline Levitt one of the most hilarious questions I think I've ever seen any White House press briefing to which many people in the press briefing laughed because of the stupidity of it. I will be passing judgment on Ed o' Keefe after you watch the evidence and the footage that you're about to see. Cut 13. In a statement about Jesse Jackson, the
A
President said, despite the fact that I'm
B
falsely and consistently called a racist by the scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left Democrats all, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way. Where or when does the President believe he's been falsely called racist?
A
You're kidding, right? I will pull you plethora of examples. I'm going to get my team in that room to start going through the Internet of radical Democrats throughout the years, Ed, who have accused this president falsely of being a racist. And I'm sure there's many people in this room and on network television across the country who have accused him of the same in fact, I know that because I've seen. Seen it with my own eyes.
B
When in fact, has anybody called the president a racist? Oh, yeah, totally. That's. That's something that's never happened before. Even though past the President. It permeates to people like you and me. I get called ra. I get called racist by white people. Like how? Okay, but sure. Yet that's just not happening. The prosecution in this case fully indicts and is bringing charges against Ed o' Keefe and this Justice Thursday. The charges are radical and extreme stupidity, a crime by which is punishable by exile from this country. And I also, as the jury, find him guilty of this crime and as the judge, I sentence him to be exiled from the United States of America in perpetuity, probably forever. I rest my case. And I also rule on that case and I've issued the punishment that is thoroughly reasonable. I don't think this bash is against the 8th amendment. I think this is not cruel and unusual punishment at all. Exile seems appropriate for that level of stupidity that has been Justice Thursday. Email us tptpsa.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns or criticisms. We will get to some of those emails. Comments and remember, they have to be vile and bigoted and nasty and all nature and just disgusting to be able to even have a shot of being read here on this show. We'll be right back after the break. TPT@youtpusa.com don't go away.
A
This is so toxic.
B
But this is how you make a
A
man fall in love with you. Open up Instagram and scroll until you find the most unhinged and inappropriate appropriate reel. Take that reel and send it to him. He's gonna think you're so hot.
B
Just trust me. That's probably true. You know, I can't. It's hard for me to comment fully on this as a guy who's been out of the dating field for 15 years, but I have to believe that that's a true thing. And the evidence I have for that is when my wife sends me the most unhinged reels. I think, man, that woman is sexy. I just, I like her so much more every day. That's. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. That just probably is reality. And, you know, hey, since we operate within the bounds of human nature, then it's probably worth knowing at the very least, regardless if it's applied and put into practice. Let's get to some of your emails here. Mailbag. TPTPC.com is the email address if you'd like to send your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. Joe first time email, I believe is fully understanding of what we mean to say when vile, disgusting, bigoted. I can in fact read this email. He says, you meanie poo poo heads, bunch of blankety blankers. Says, unfortunately I can't swear, but hopefully this was vile enough to get your attention. It did. Thank you so much, Joe. He says, as an independent who gets his news only from your show and the ones before and after. Wow, that's. That's something. I, you know, I don't even know if I agree with that. I, you know, at least, okay, the show's opposite me. That, that makes sense. But if you get your news solely from this show. Actually, yeah, that. I totally agree. That's a, that's. This is the only place you should get your news. So. I appreciate that, Joe. He says, my only complaint is the bumper music is so good and it cuts off right before the killer bass line. Ah. He's a retired teacher and a proud American. Thank you, Joe for the email. Really appreciate it. On the topic of the pronunciation of Zam. Danny, Ma'. Am. Danny, we've got Zoolander. Scram, Danny. Moron. Zamboni. We've got Mom Donkey Zoron. Damn dummy. I like damn dummy. Haven't heard that one before, but that one makes a lot of sense. Emails tptpusa.com we'll be right back. Well, sorry, we will be. See you tomorrow. Same time, same place. God bless America.
