I can honestly say that I'm genuinely concerned about Kamala Harris's new home purchase. Also, drug overdose deaths are going down in this country and nobody is quite sure exactly why. It's just a mystery confounding and everyone. And also, should we charge the Seattle mayor with 34 felonies? I think it's about time we do that. More coming up. Thanks so much for tuning in. My name is Joe Bob. The show starts right now. Like I said, I have genuine, serious concern for Kamala Harris with her new purchase of a home in Southern California. We'll get to my deep and utter disastrous concerns for the former Vice President of the United States of America. If you have any comments that you'd like to send to us in an email form or wherever it is that you happen to be watching this, tptp USA.com is the email. Leave a comment wherever it is that you happen to be streaming this. If your comment is gross, disgusting, bigoted, and just rude, downright and all, every. Just the worst comment you've ever seen, you actually have a better chance of being read on the show. In our mailbag segment, tptposa.com is the email address. And leave a comment. Whatever you think. What do you think about Kamala Harris's new home purchase? Which we'll get into the details in just a quick second, but leave a comment wherever it is that you're watching, and we'll. We'll try to get to that at some point in time. Like I said, I am deeply concerned. I have a deep fear, almost an anxiety, if you will, of Kamala Harris's new home purchase to catch you folks up who don't mind, don't quite quite know. Kamala Harris, former Vice President, United States dei, Higher at the highest level, recently purchased a new home in Malibu's Point Doom neighborhood. Fantastically wealthy neighborhood. The home allegedly cost a little over $8 million, spans 4,000 square feet. Producer Glenn. I'm not sure where he got this information, but he did mention that about 3,000 of those 4,000 square feet is the wine cellar. So I cannot confirm that. We can't verify that. But it's just something about it feels to be true. As built in 1979, sits on three quarters of an acre and all of those. So we can talk about the utter hypocrisy of standing up for the little guy and then, you know, buying an $8 million house in Southern California, you can talk about all of that. You know, I'm. I'm fighting for the working class. Also, pounds is very Bernie Sanders esque. Uh, I, you know, the millionaires and the billionaires and the oligarchs, by the way, have got three homes and have suddenly stopped saying millionaires and billionaires and just say billionaires now, because Bernie Sanders himself is in fact a millionaire. Anyways, you can talk about all of that, but I would like to express genuine and deep concern about Kamala Harris's recent home purchase because it is very, very close to the ocean, could be even overlooking. Can't determine exactly which house it is, but it could be even on the beachfront itself in Malibu's Point Doom neighborhood. And that is obviously extremely concerning for someone like me who deeply cares about climate change and have been told a number of times that homes by the beach could be washed away with rising sea levels because of climate change. Honestly, Kamala Harris herself has talked about how scary this actually is. Like I said, I have anxiety for the former Vice President United States, and I'm not the only one. Play this. Cut six of Kamala Harris talking about this anxiety that is so pervasive in so many people.
- [05:49]
They're experiencing what they've coined climate anxiety, which is their fear that because of changing in extreme weather, that the future of their lives is very much sake. My goddaughter, who's a junior in college right now was crying to me just two days ago, worried about what is the world going to be for me. Auntie, she said, when I want to have kids, should I even be thinking about having children?
- [06:18]
Yeah, it's, it's, it's so prevalent, really everywhere. Climate anxiety is a real thing. I clearly have it because I'm concerned about the former Vice President United States having a home that is so close to the beach. Because, look, the climate change is the most I'm not going to be able to make through this. The climate change is just the most disastrous, most urgent, necessary problem that we have to solve. And I was trying to remember where I'd heard that before. Obviously, Kamala Harris hadn't heard it before because she again bought a house on the beach. But I was, I was racking my brain and it was this Jimmy Kim or Jimmy, Jimmy Fallon clip that really, I think, kind of stuck it to me that that climate is the most important issue that we have to tackle. I believe producer Glenn pulled this clip. I haven't seen this in a very long time. I'm not entirely sure who's involved here, but this is the reason why I have such extreme climate anxiety and why I'm so concerned for the Vice President and her new home purchase on the beach. Cut 7.
- [07:20]
Climate change is the single greatest threat facing our world today. That's why I am committed to passing a Green New Deal, creating clean jobs, and finally putting an end to fracking once and for all.
- [07:34]
Oh, shoot. It was. She was the one that stoked my climate anxiety. Oh, no. I wonder if she's the one that stoked her grand nieces. Whatever. Her niece's climate anxiety. I wonder if she's the type of person that has been going around saying a bunch of nonsense about the climate stoking people's climate anxiety, which it's clearly the most. I don't, I don't, I don't know where I'm going with this. Bottom line is Kamala Harris has been talking for years about how the climate is just. It's, it's. Climate change is the biggest, most desperate problem that we need to solve in the entire world. And also the, the sea level is rising. And also I don't actually care about any of that because I bought a beach house. I would love, I'd love to get in the mindset of somebody like that who can just sit here and talk about this thing that is so such a massive problem and then go like, in the face of that massive problem that she pretends that we all have, go and buy a beach house. It's unbelievable. Speaking of the beach, I wasn't. We, we do, we generally do long segments here in this first segment about one specific thing, but there's really not that much there other than the incredible irony of Kamala Harris, who's been promoting climate change policy for decades, again, buying a home that would effectively be destroyed if all the things that she was saying were true. But there's. That's, that's really it. That's all the irony there. So I want to move on. There's a bunch of stuff I want to get to. Friday is kind of a much more of a haphazardly loosely put together show of the day. So I want to get to this. This is actually really interesting. This is from abc, but this has been reported a bunch of other places. U.S. overdose deaths fell through most of 2025. Federal data reveals the overdose epidemic that has been worsening for the last couple decades has fallen through most of 2025. This marks the longest sustained drop in decades, more than two years of decline. However, the decline is showing slowing, they say, because remember, if Trump's in power and things are going well, ABC News has to say, well, the decline is slow. It's. It's good, but the good is getting less good. But that's not even true. The good. The good is getting more good at a slower rate after nearly peaking in 2022 under Joe Biden. At 110,000 overdose that overdose deaths fell to 80,000. In 2024, 27% drop. And in the last 12 months ending in August 2025. So 2024 to 2025, predominantly in the Trump administration, an estimated 73,000 people have died from overdose was down 21% from the 92,000 the previous 12 year, 12 month period. Bottom line, drug deaths are going down now. I, I just, I wonder what factors could be involved in, in all of that. Certainly ABC would have to give some credit to the border that is being closed. Maybe. Let, let's, well, let's see if they do. ABC News is possible explanation experts point to not the closing of the border, not the droning of drug boats coming into the United States. No. But the increased Narcan availability. So in other words, people that are experiencing overdose can get zapped back to life. And that's the predominant theory as to why drug overdoses have been going down. Now that may be a factor, but at no point anywhere in this article, at least that I saw or anywhere in any of the articles that I saw about this, considering the fact that it is relatively good news for the President of the United States. Uh, the drug dose overdose deaths have fallen. Nobody mentioned. Oh yeah, we're, we, we closed up the border. Oh yeah, we're doing stuff like this in cut 8. As you can see a drug boat just, just meandering onto the United States. And well, what happened? Oh, boom. That drug boat allegedly carrying enough drugs to kill 25 to 50,000Americans. You know what the problem is? I don't probably hit it again. I don't know if that, that really eliminated the entirety of the threat there just to be safe, probably that still looks like a threat. You probably got to double tap that. Bottom line is at no point has anybody given the President of the United States any credit whatsoever for the decrease in drug overdose deaths. Considering the fact that the majority of the drugs that people die from come into the country probably very illegally or at least are a huge factor of people dying from overdose deaths coming to the country legally. And the President gets no credit for any of that. In. And look, and again, I'm not saying it's entirely 100% the closed border or the droning of drug boats out of the Gulf of America. I'm not even saying it's entirely that. All I'm saying is throw a little bit of a bone. There's all of these different theories. Well, they suggest that fewer teens are taking drugs and frequent users have already died off that is literally a factor that ABC includes, except they don't include the factor of hey, we closed the borders. Unbelievable and ridiculous. Let's see. We actually got a lot to get to today. It is a Friday. We're going to just kind of COVID a lot of different things. But I'm reading some of the comments. That's fun. We're going to cover a lot of different things today. More specifically, I thought this was really, really interesting. And again, another glaring point of hypocrisy and irony among the libs. The Seattle Mayor, the new, the newly minted mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, in my opinion, should be indicted for at least 34 felonies, maybe even more. I will explain that coming up, as well as a bunch of other things we want to get to here on the show today. Tptpc.com is the email address. Also, leave a comment wherever it is that you're watching. If that comment or email is disgusting, vile, bigoted and just downright hateful, you have a better chance of being read on the show in our Mailbag segment. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

Joe Bob Zoron
Hey, if you're a nice agent, this might be a good time to kiss your spouse and kids goodbye. Because you know what? You might not be coming home tomorrow. Gladly. And your family will be better off for it. Okay? So, I mean, just. I. There's a part of me that, like, doesn't want to show you guys that stuff because it's kind of like, yeah, you don't. You know, there's. There's already enough hatred going around, but at the same time, like, you should be aware that these people exist. These people are walking amongst you. These violent freaks live sometimes, can be your neighbors. I don't know. And that's not, say, you know, give your neighbor the side eye. I'm just saying, you know, be aware. Be vigilant. Always have your surroundings. Be aware of what's going on around you. Because guys like this, again, tormented, violent freaks say, yeah, we were going to kill ICE agents. Okay, cool. We. We know. We know you're all violent. Not all of you, but we know the left is violent in so many different ways, and this just proves it. Now, I will say this, too. I think this guy should lose his job. I don't know where he works. He probably doesn't actually work, but if he has a job, he should be fired from that job. But this actually comes to the bigger problem. I think it was Linda in the email section yesterday talking about where are all these NGOs coming from? We talked about, I think, on Wednesday, like, 21,000 nonprofit NGOs that get money from the government. If this guy works for something like that. And I think there's. There's millions of them around the country. They don't get fired for stuff like this. And so that is actually the problem. That's. That's part of the reason why I don't think federal or really taxpayer money should go to those types of institutions really at all. Because those types of people employ people like this. And I'm sure there are some good NGOs that actually do the things that they say they want to do. Um, but by and large, I think a lot of them are just effectively stealing American taxpayer money and probably employing people like this. That is, assuming he has a job. I actually probably don't think he does. He's probably stealing money from the American taxpayer via food stamps. I don't know. But the bottom line, again, be vigilant people like this exists. Go ahead, fire him from his job, because you don't want a violent freak working for you. Anyways, um, let's get to this. I thought this is actually quite fascinating. The mayor of Seattle, the incoming mayor. Actually, no, she's the mayor now. Katie Wilson, who is a socialist crazy person, in my opinion, should be hit with at the very least, 34 felonies. Why, might you ask? Well, the socialist mayor, according to Fox News, now has to pay a fine to the ethics committee for failure to disclose $10,000 of contributions to her campaign from her parents. There's a lot to uncut unpack here. First things first. My continued theme is that I wish I was born rich enough to be a socialist. I just, I. My upbringing was too normal. I wish I had a country club, private school entirety upbringing to where I could be a socialist, because apparently that's what it takes. Ma', am, Danny's a rich kid. This lady's a rich kid. Bernie Sanders is now a rich person. There. This. All of the socialists are just. They're just rich and like, you have to, I guess, achieve a certain amount of financial success to be able to be a socialist. And I'm just not there yet. So I'm. I'm working, working to get there. But her parents gave her $10,000. The Seattle Ethics Commission, Elections Ethics and Elections Commissions found last month that the money got from her parents constituted as a campaign contribution because it indicated that she was not filing the paperwork correctly. The commission then issued a corrective action which warranted a. A fine against her. Basically, she had to pay the fine. The fine was not that much money, but bottom line is her parents gave her $10,000. She did not file the paperwork appropriately and therefore had to pay a fine. Now, the fine was only $250, but what they said is, well, this is not. This is kind of like a new issue, right? Because what it was is it wasn't a direct deposit of ten grand from her parents. It was like an indirect circular thing around the campaign that kind of necessitated some paperwork, but no one was really quite sure because this is kind of like a not normal thing that happens. And, well, turns out her parents were paying about $2,200 per month in order to have her kids go to daycare during the campaign. Now, why her husband couldn't watch the kids because he allegedly reportedly is unemployed, I'm not entirely sure. But regardless, her parents paid 2200 bucks a month, equating to about $10,000 during the campaign. And the ethics commission in Seattle said, actually, that's a, that's a campaign finance expenditure, so you need to be able to report that. And because you didn't, we're going to go ahead and issue a fine. Now, that being said, that's how these things normally go. If you make a paperwork error or there's some sort of blunder in your campaign finance paperwork, you pay a fine and you move on. In this case, it was a $10,000 mistake. She paid a 250. A hundred, $250 fine, and we'll effectively move on from it. The problem I have here is this is the same exact dang thing they did to Trump. This is literally the same effing thing. And, well, did Donald Trump just pay a fine and move on? No, he was charged with and convict convicted by my reserve myself here. They charged a former President of the United States with 34 felonies for a campaign finance violation to which nobody actually knew what the charge was because, remember, the whole thing based around, well, it's a campaign payment in order to cover up other crimes, but you don't know what the other crimes was, and the judge never told anybody and the prosecution never told anybody. So you didn't effectively know what the crime was, which is a violation of the Constitution, saying you have to be told what you're being charged with. But all of that withstanding, this has, like, been their big thing. Here's Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York. Um, and this. I could have pulled out a clip of every single lib on any of the talk shows saying exactly the same thing. Their biggest thing for the last, like, 18 months has been Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Here's Kathy Hochul saying exactly that. But again, remember, this could have been any of the libs talking about the convicted felon that is Donald Trump for freaking campaign pay, paperwork misfiling, which usually results in a fine cut. 9.
- [22:33]
Trump hasn't spent much time in New York lately, except that is to get convicted of 34 felonies.
- [22:43]
And that's just fine with us. 34 felonies. Like, literally, again, I know this is Kathy Hochul and governor of New York, but this could have been literally anybody. This is the only thing that they're talking every time you talk with a lib and they bring up Trump, because they always bring up Trump. They say, well, he's a convicted felon. Then you ask, well, what is he convicted of? And they can't tell you you know why? Because nobody knows. They. Because it's a campaign finance violation. Everybody I've ever known who's worked in politics has been hit with a campaign finance violation. This is not an uncommon thing. Now, you know, if we're going to apply justice equally, I would imagine that the, the, the, the 34 counts of felony indictments are coming towards the mayor of Seattle. Except for they probably won't because this was handled in a way that they're always handled. You pay a fine and you move on. A better and probably bigger example would be one Barack Obama might remember him. He was a former President of the United states. Barack Obama's 22,008 presidential campaign, which was officially named Obama for America. Gotta throw that out there. Was fined, not $250, $375,000 by the Federal Elections Commission in 2013 following an audit of its financial records. This was one of the largest civil penalties ever imposed on a presidential campaign at that time. Again, what I'm getting at here is that when President Trump was charged with 34 felonies, it was a campaign finance violation. Uh, look, and this is, I'm not even taking any sort of stance on whether or not, like, it's a moral thing to pay off Stormy Daniels to keep quiet.
- [24:30]
Public Podcast Announcer
We're not.
- [24:30]
Joe Bob Zoron
That's not even factoring in here. The bottom line is it was $130,000 paid by Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels that they filed the paperwork incorrectly. You know what generally happens? You go, ah, shucks, sorry, send me a ticket, effectively a fine, I'll pay that and then we'll move on with our lives. Instead, they charged a former president with felonies. Now, when it happened to Barack Obama, he got fined $375,000 thousand dollars. And what was the infraction there? Was it $130,000 that got paperwork misfiling? No, what he got hit with or it got hit for was failure to find In a timely 48 hour notice nearly 1300 contributions of $1000 or more received in the final weeks of the campaign, which is a pretty big, massive effing deal, right? Of campaign violations, not filing the paperwork correctly. From like a business standpoint to whether, what, whatever, it's for hush money, whatever you want to call it, is very different. And this is way prior to, like the meat of the election is very different in that in the closing weeks, just not doing any of the paperwork for over a thousand donations of over $1,000, which is over a million dollars, by the way, is crazy. He also got hit with Misreporting dates on certain contributions, particularly those received in joint fundraising committees. Also was hit with delays, resolve resolving excessive contributions beyond the $2,300 per election spend limit, totaling about $1.3 million that were not refunded, redesignated or resolved within the required 60 day period. In other words, Barack Obama and Katie Wilson in Seattle kind of fudged up the paperwork. I'm not even saying that they shouldn't have been given that money. I'm just saying you gotta file the appropriate paperwork. And when you don't file the appropriate paperwork, you get hit with the fine. Barack Obama mishandled. It looks like about a million and a half dollars. Didn't do the paperwork Right. Got hit with a fine. A pretty big fine. By the way. $375,000 is no, not small fine. He paid some of it and then the DNC paid some of it. Same thing with Katie Wilson in Seattle. Ms. Missed. Did. Ms. Filed some paperwork, resulted in a fine. But when Orange Man Bad does literally the same exact thing, they charge him with felonies. Over $130,000, by the way. Yes, more than the Seattle mayor, but exponentially less than the other former president, United States, who again, wasn't hit with felonies, wasn't arrested, wasn't hauled in front of juries, wasn't any of those things. I just pay a fine. Yeah, it's a big fine, but go ahead and pay it. You got a ton of money. Talk about a double standard. Some of the comments flying in TDS is real hundred percent. Also, there's another comment that's kind of interesting. Trump shouldn't even have to pay a fine. He doesn't take a paycheck. I'm not entirely sure that that's related. Those are two good points though. He probably shouldn't have had to pay a fine because none of the things that he did was necessary. Technically, we, we don't need to get in the nitty gritty of the case. We've all kind of been around that. Again, I think I mostly just wanted to point out the fact that this is happening in Seattle and this we've for some reason resorted back to like the norm of like, yeah, it's just a fine and that's it. But also, yeah, good point, doesn't take a paycheck, is actually serving the American people. Got a lot to get to here. Without having to belabor on that. The libs in the house are actually doing something really interesting and that is trying to push off their left wing and, and it's actually not going very well, so we'll get to make fun of the libs.

Yasmeen Ansari
Hi everyone, I am about to get on a plane to Minnesota for a field hearing on the ground with about two dozen members Democrats who are going to hear testimony directly from people who've been impacted by ICE's assault on the city. We're going to be meeting with local elected officials and fighting for accountability because ICE is terrorizing people across this country, including U.S. citizens. And of course, last week's murder of Renee Nicole Goode was the most appalling thing possible from this administration. So I will keep you posted on what happens and stay tuned for more.

Joe Bob Zoron
Great. That is Yasmeen Ansari, who is a lib going to Minnesota to visit with people because a lady, unfortunately, again, it is a tragedy, got shot trying to run ice down with her car. Now the question is how many of the illegal immigrant victims has she met?

Public Podcast Announcer
Just.

Joe Bob Zoron
I'm just out of here. I, I don't, I don't know. It's a good question. You're gonna go all the way to Minnesota? She's not from Minnesota, by the way. She's a lib from Arizona. Not entirely sure what she has to do in Minnesota, but she's going there. She's gonna go report on the, on the ground as a congresswoman. And here's, here's what's happening in Minnesota, even though I represent the people of Arizona. So there's, it's kind of a. Okay, but. Okay, cool, fine. You go ahead. Go do that. How many people, how many victims of illegal alien criminals have you met with? I don't know. Could be some. Probably is none. But all this says is just, this whole thing is just a show. A bunch of libs just trying take to take political advantage of this. And I actually don't think they're going to do. I don't think it's going to turn out the way they want it to. Part of the reason is because the, the more sane of the libs and I know that that sometimes somewhat seems contradictory, but you know, it kind of the more the sane of the libs apparently are pushing back, saying, hey, this, this whole defund ice and abolish all of the enforcement groups that help enforce federal law is not a good look. It's not a good idea. This is from the Washington Free Beacon. Basically they're talking about some normal libs and there are some, not a lot, but there are some. Some normal libs are begging radical members to not revive the abolish ICE position. And from the Washington Free Beacon, Andrew Stiles writing here the Searchlight Institute, which interestingly enough is a think think tank found by a former advisor to John Fetterman who could go down the rabbit hole on John Fetterman. What the heck happened there? He was a 100% a crazy person socialist while running for the Senate and has now become one of the more reasonable people. What do you think happened? Tptpusa.com do you think he's just trying to win reelection in Pennsylvania even though he's not up for another couple of years? Or do you think he actually. Here's my theory. I actually passed this along to Charlie. He didn't really, he didn't really buy into this theory. But if you remember, Senator Fetterman went into a rehab facility for some mental health issues and ever since then has come out in like support of law enforcement and like lower taxes and doing all like basically as a conservative or like a Democrat of like the 60s. And so my theory was maybe liberalism is a mental illness that can be treated with mental health care because that seems to be what happened with John Fetterman anyways. Wow. Long diatribe about that. A think tank founded by a former John Fetterman advisor thought it was necessary to remind libs that, quote, advocating for abolishing ICE is tantamount to advocating for stopping enforcement of all of our immigration laws. It's wrong on the merits and at odds with the American public. In other words, the hey guys, can we not. This libs telling other libs, Guys, can we not like think that, okay, abolishing ICE is a good idea? It's really reminiscent of the whole BLM thing. It's really reminiscent of abolish the police thing because it didn't work. Defund the police was the worst political slogan in the history of political slogans across all of history. Third Way, who is a moderate think tank, also warned libs. Moderate lib think tank that also warned libs that caving to the abolished ICE mob would be politically lethal and squander one of the clearest opportunities in years for meaningful reform. This is precisely what happened in 2020, the group argued when enough libs embraced or refused to condemn. And the activist led campaign of defund the police following George Floyd's death. We shouldn't be party. We shouldn't be the party against enforcement entirely. Third Way wrote on X. Now the question is, is that message from the sane libs resonating with the insane libs? This is Congressman Sri. We haven't talked about Congressman Sri for a long time. I think he has most, the most Botox of any congressman. And I don't know if there's a way to verify that. I would love to see, you know, if there's some medical records that we can look into. But the most Botox, the most eyebrows done and you'll see what I'm talking about in just a second. Let's see if the message has reached him. This is cut 10, have the moderate libs gotten a hold of the crazy libs saying, hey, the whole abolish ICE thing is not politically advantageous. It's not gonna work. Please don't say it.
- [36:31]
Congressman Sri
Cut 10 must be impeached. She must face the consequences of this. And we must. Finally, we must, we must reform ice. But it looks at this stage, folks, ICE is beyond reform. ICE is totally out of control. And this week I intend to introduce a bill to abolish ICE. We need to make ICE go away. 2003. Before 2003, without ICE, various federal agencies were able to take care of business.
- [37:16]
Joe Bob Zoron
Yeah, all right, so a couple things going on there. So no, he did not get the message. Other thing, too. And this is like, this is where I get caught up in the whole, like, political consultant. If you don't know, I was a consultant for a very long time, ran a bunch of races, came up with slogans like this. But you have to throw something in with, like, melt the ice. Like, ICE is, you know, appropriately named Immigration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But also real ICE is a thing. So if you're going to try and defund them or abolish them, like, you got to throw in like, a melting metaphor. And I don't even agree with that. I'm just saying, like, you know, political sloganeering wise, that just is like, obvious, like, go with that. But no, apparently he didn't get the message. Now, here is the caveat. I will throw a little bit of grace in Congressman Sri's direction. He might not have understood. I don't know if he speaks English very well. Clearly from that video, it's not apparent that it's his first language. Maybe he doesn't quite understand the political ramifications of saying, hey, don't say abolish ice. It's not a winning strategy. So let's go to somebody who came to the country as a refugee, some reason, still hates it, and I think 14 years old, but at least does speak the language. Still with an accent, but I think speaks the language. Let's see if she got the memo that abolish ICE is not a winning political strategy. This is Ilhan Omar of Minnesota in cut 14.
- [38:36]
And so today I am glad to announce that the Congressional Progressive Caucus has adopted an official position to hold ICE accountable. Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any appropriation bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices.
- [39:01]
Okay. All right. So no, they haven't gotten the memo, you know, from a. From a cultural and society standpoint I don't think this is great. I would love to see a more broad consensus of, like, hey, this is not really a right versus left issue. This is a, like, are we gonna follow the law or are we not? If you don't like the law, vote for people to change the law. I think I bring this up a lot. Tom Homan, the Borders are consistently says, why are you getting mad at ice? They're just enforcing the law. If you want to be mad at anybody, get mad at Congress. They made the law and can remake the law. That's the whole point of Congress. The people there can, like, fight for different laws. Instead, they're fighting for the enforcement of the law, which is ridiculous and stupid. So while I do think we should, you know, be more cohesive as a society saying, no, we should enforce laws, I also don't mind the political win. So there's that. I'm of two minds of this. I wish we could come together and go, yeah, enforcing the laws that we have on the books is a good thing. And yeah, I don't mind libs punching themselves in the face. I. When you're. When your enemy is punching themselves in the face, the last thing you want to do is stop them. So there's that. I also have that mindset. You know, I did want to bring this up, transitioning kind of entirely, but not. Well, not really entirely. This was actually, I thought, really interesting to note, and. And I can't imagine that any conservative media platforms are going to cover this a ton, but the Trump administration actually issued an apology for something that the libs, you know, got their panties all wadded up around. And really nobody's covering this at all. This was in the Hill, and they're there and they lean left, but they're not like, they're not crazy. They're not PMS now. But you remember when the libs lost their mind about that college student who was allegedly coming home for Thanksgiving break and then got picked up in Boston and deported to Honduras? If you didn't. That was. That was basically the whole story. Libs lost their mind. They're deporting college students who are here illegally and have deportation orders against them. But they're. I can't believe they're doing this. Well, the Trump administration actually came out and issued a statement saying that was actually a mistake. We apologize. Now let me just read what they have in the Hill. Lopez Baloza Balaza, which is her last name, who entered the United States as a child, was sent back to Honduras after days of being detained despite a Nov. 21 order from a Massachusetts judge to keep her somewhere in the country. Not necessarily where she was, but somewhere in the country for at least 72 hours. She had a deportation notice. Judge said, hey, you gotta keep her in, in the country for 72 hours. Now, the big thing that libs like to point out is Trump is ignoring the courts. Um, and they use this as one of, as an example, like, hey, he's ignoring the, the courts and the judges. But the Trump administration themselves, one haven't ignored the courts at any point. I would be mad at that. He, you know, figures out how to fight things legally and ultimately ends up listening to what the courts say. Um, but effectively this, this girl did end up getting deported. But the administration has now come out and issued a statement notifying the courts that it was a failure on their part. One of the ICE officers failed to let the port of, of Isabel, Texas know that she was on a removal that needed to be canceled, and they deported her anyway. Basically, the Trump administration said, hey, our bad. We're taking responsibility for it. This was kind of a mistake, and we'd like to apologize for this situation. Now, they do stand behind the actual deportation because it, it, it does appear to be warranted. But just, just let me read the quote and I Tuesday hearing the U.S. attorney in charge of this said, on behalf of the government, we want to sincerely apologize, saying that their employees made a mistake. In other words, all of the TDS people don't want to hear this sort of stuff. They want to hear they ignored the federal courts. Reality knows mistakes happen, things happen. And also, I don't know if this is the Hill you want to die on. The Hill says the Trump administration actually still maintains that they believe that this girl was deported lawfully, citing a decision by an immigration judge in 2016. Ten years ago, you wouldn't be deporting a college freshman if she had already deported when she should have been deported in 2016. Ten years ago, 2016, decision by a federal judge ordering her and her mother to be removed and an appeal was dismissed a year later. The bottom line here is you got to get people out of the country. And if you have 20 million people come into the country that need to be expeditiously deported, you're going to make some mistakes. Now the question is, are people going to own up to those mistakes? In this particular case, the Trump administration absolutely did. They said, hey, we made a mistake, sorry. Now, we believe the deportation is, should be upheld and is lawful. But at the same time, yeah, sorry, we didn't mean to do that. No harm, no foul. Well, I don't know if she probably thinks it's harm. I don't know if I agree with her on that, but she probably thinks it's hard. But bottom, at the end of the day, accountability is great. Following the courts is a good thing. All the libs say is completely a dictator who's ignoring the course. No, not true. Hasn't ignored the courts in any way, shape or form. If he does, he tries. Or if he, if he tries to do something that the courts have said no to, he goes a different legal route, which is totally acceptable. Totally fine. It's what the Constitution is for. It's what the courts are there for. And if a mistake is made, they own up to it. I don't know how interesting that is. I just thought it was important to note, especially because libs just lost their mind about this around Thanksgiving of this last year. So good thing to keep in mind. Next Want to talk about ice? Coming up after the break, talking about ICE has actually reached a has a new record they just reached, which is exciting. And speaking of deportations, new record reached by ice that is very exciting and not nearly high enough. Let's get those numbers up. Tptpha.com is the email address we'd like to send. If you'd like to send along the email, make sure it's disgusting, evil, vile, bigoted, all of the things and you actually have a better chance of being read on the show. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

$500,000 home. You're putting 20 down. A year ago, your monthly payments were almost $2,700 for principal and interest. Now they're around $2,400. Now that might not sound like that much. It's about $260 difference. But over the course of a year, you're talking about $3,000 less in interest. Over the course of a loan, it's over $90,000. So that's huge, right? That's less money going to the bank, more for everything else in life. Now, all of this comes after the White House has really started to focus more on this issue of housing affordability.

The President wants to ban large institutional investors from scooping up single family homes. And significantly, he announced plans to have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy $200 billion of mortgage bonds. And experts are saying that those efforts from the president, they're already helping to drive down mortgage rates, which of course is encouraging.
- [48:13]
Joe Bob Zoron
Yeah, Producer Glenn, can you check outside your window and see if pigs are flying? Somebody is. Has hell frozen over? Or is that CNN giving credit to the President, United States for mortgage rates going down, which it seems like they were in spite of the Fed desperately trying to make a political point by not lowering interest rates. Man, we could talk for a while about that, but that's. That is fast. Did you notice too? I. We're not gonna play it back? Cause it's not worth playing back. I'm pretty sure he said that's huge. I don't know. I don't know if that was intentional. I don't know if that was a Freudian slip. I don't know what happened there. I'm pretty sure I caught that. This is huge for the American people. But yeah, that's. It doesn't seem like a lot, but, you know, you gotta, you gotta chip away slowly and, and hopefully Bring, bring some of those costs downs for the American people, which is what President Trump is very adamant about doing. ICE has reached a new record. ICE detainee population has set a record high of 73,000 people. The number of detainees is from CBS. In US immigration enforcement custody has reached a new record high, surpassing 70,000 for the first time in the department's 23 year history. As of Thursday, ICE is holding 73,000 individuals deporting, facing deportation in custody across the country, the highest level recorded by the agency and an 84% increase from the same time in 2025. So before Trump was in office, this number has gone up by 84%. That's, that's a lot. Prior to this it hovered around 40,000 and that's assuming the Biden administration was even trying to deport anybody, which they probably weren't. The thing that I think is interesting about this and CBS even reports on it here is I think, wow, it's a good. Reached our highest number of deportees in custody. And get those numbers up. 73,000. 73,000 is the highest number in their 23 year history. And also there's 20 million people in this country legally. Maybe we should get those numbers up a little bit or at least increase the capacity so we can get those numbers up now. What's heartening to know is that Trump thinks the same thing. The Trump administration has said it was aiming to be able to detain upward of a hundred thousand people at any given time as a part of a government wide overhauled crackdown on illegal immigration. So yeah, the President happens to agree. One, congratulations ICE for having all of those numbers be as high as they are and two, I'm glad the President agrees that those numbers still can be higher. You got to deport as many people as possible because, well, you only have a certain amount of time. You only have four years. It's part of the United States and getting rid of 20 million illegal immigrants is a heavy lift. Yeah, get those numbers up. Mailbag is coming up next. Tptpa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms. Got some fun ones in here. Friday we're having some fun. Maybe we'll maybe watch some fun videos too.

We can stay here all day and we shall not be moved Just like a tree that's planted by the water we shall not be moved we are shopping elsewhere we are shopping elsewhere we shall not be moved we are shopping elsewhere we shall not be moved Just like a tree as planted by the water we shall not be Is any Is anyone else experiencing profound confusion? I mean, just lyrically speaking, we are shopping elsewhere, not here but we're not leaving Like a tree by the water. Which by the way contradicts the climate change argument because obviously land erosion will make the tree that's immovable by the water very easily moved. A lot going on here, but I think the main point is I regret to inform you that the libs are singing again. It's shocking that this hasn't worked, but as long as they keep trying it, I don't we we're no longer that's a We're no longer shopping here, but we're not moving so, okay, anyways, let's get to mailbag. Uh, let's see. On the topic of. On the topic of all of the illegal immigration, Gill says it's time for payback. Here's an idea. How about we charge every member of Congress that gave the green light to opening the floodgates so millions of illegals could just walk in at the great expense of the taxpayer? Yeah, that sounds about right. Or at the very least, politically hold them accountable by voting them out of office. That'd be nice. On the topic of me mispronouncing Ma' am Danny's name, I. These. These keep coming in, and they're very funny. Scott. 1. I just appreciate the syntax here in the email. I'm just gonna. I'm gonna read you the email as it's written. No fluff. Okay, Scott, on the topic of mispronouncing Ma' am Danny's name says. Hi, Joe Bob Zoron, Ma' am panties, parentheses. I bet he wears them. I don't know if you meant. I don't know if you meant it to come off as monotone and as. As dry as it did, but it came off very dry. It just made. Made it funnier, Scott. Appreciate that. Let's see, Colleen, on the topic of Tim Walls. Colleen, I unfortunately think you mispronounced, misspelled his name. It's Tampon Tim Walls. I think that's on his birth certificate. I can't be sure. I don't entirely know. By the way, where is Dip Walls birth certificate? Maybe that should be in question. But Colleen says Tampon Tim Walls, he said ice is damaged property, et cetera, which he did. He's talking ISIS caused a bunch of chaos. They're damaging property, she said. But if that were true, I'd like to see some videos of that, because generally speaking, I think we're all in agreement that the damage of property is coming from the wackadoo leftist lunatics who like to riot all the time. She didn't. Those are her. Most of my words, not hers. Yeah, good question, Colleen, she says, love the show. Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you so much for watching Laura. On the topic of all those people, really, everything simply says you can't reason with crazy. And that is true. That is. You know, I've thought. I've thought in the last couple months a lot. She's. I don't have time to get into this diatribe. Maybe this. This is what our One Last Point podcast will be about today. If you don't get that all the social media platforms just type in job. We do an extra segment of the show that we don't have time for here on Neil Makers voice and I'll Laura, I will get to those thoughts on that show. On that segment, Daryl and Sheila says soon Tampon Timmy will be wailing that they're dragging pregnant men through the streets. That's. That's a. That is a good one. I'm not sure the email signature says Darryl and Sheila. I'm not sure which either Darryl or Sheila. Fantastic commentary right there. I think Tim Wall. We played the video yesterday. Tim Walls. They're dragging pregnant women through the streets. Kay. But also, yeah, we're probably one iteration away from Tim Walls saying they're dragging pregnant men through the streets also. How dare he. What. What a bigoted thing for Tim Walsh to say. We don't know that that's a pregnant woman. That could have been a man. You don't know. Um, John actually brought up a really interesting point on the topic of GoFundMe. He said, hey, it's illegal to profit off criminal activity. Basically, big longer email. So I'll just characterize it here. Basically saying, hey, a bunch of the people that are protesting ice and throwing bricks in the cars and getting arrested and then making money on GoFundMe. Is that. Is that technically profit on criminal activity? I think it kind of has to be. Anyways, that's going to do it for us here tonight. Running out of time. Tptc.com is the email. Have a great weekend. Unplug from the news a little bit. We will see you same time, same place on Monday. God bless America.
