You know Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah in Nashville. It's an incredible non profit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai. We recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence?
- [01:22]
YEAH Representative
Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up.

rk0proof.com it comes as a shock to absolutely no one that thousands of displaced residents of the Palisades are still in temporary housing because they can't get the permitting done to rebuild their homes. And on top of that, the good news is the government is fining them for their unmowed lawns. Seriously, we'll get into that. Offensive Emojis are now coming to Apple phones as Apple faces harsh backlash for their emoji selection in the new edition of Emojis. And also, President Trump can't stop giving away shoes. A fascinating story out of the White House. All that and more coming up on this episode of the show. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. I don't know if this is a an axiom or a maxim, whatever those sayings are, if disaster shall befall you, just make sure you don't live in California as several residents of the Palisades area and many of the fire victims still are out of their homes in temporary housing, paying rent as they fight with insurers. We'll get to that massive story coming out of LA that shows that many homeowners are getting fined for not mowing their lawns. I believe me, it's as crazy as you might think it is. TBT tvc.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms, those are welcome here on the show. Earlier this week, the email box was littered with compliments, which, while it might feel nice inside, is not what we're going for. We want harsh, reality, vile, nasty, disgusting emails because that'll fit in with with the tenor of what we're trying to do here on the show. Tptpc.com is that email address. We'll get to some mailbag questions later on. Questions, emails later on in the show. But first I want to talk about the disgusting nature of bureaucracy. And you know, unfortunately this comes as a shock and a surprise to no one. Bureaucratic systems tend to have Bureaucratic consequences which are bad for the people under the regime of the bureaucracy. About a year ago, the January 2025 Palisade fires wiped out more than a thousand homes. And a huge number of survivors are still stranded in temporary housing, still getting jerked around by insurers, still waiting on permits, and still living in the aftershock of of a disaster that really never should have happened, but has also never really ended. And then on top of all of that, the city has decided to add new trauma official citations demanding that they mow the lawn and that those are quotes from the citations on the lots where the lawn is ash and weeds have unfortunately grown in the ghost of a neighborhood that used to be vibrant and full of houses, which is no longer is because, well, the fire and that didn't stop the LA municipalities. It is the perfect bureaucratic insults a government that failed to present prevent the catastrophe, failed to respond with urgency afterward, and now has failed to rebuild with competence, now threatening people who own the homes for not maintaining nothing. Seriously, that, that. That is currently the problem. The stories are honestly heartbreaking as they are also enraging Serene Michelle Dillman. Got a notice that might as well have read, sorry we burned down your house. Now clear your brush or pay $750. I know the city didn't burn down their house, but again, neglect may have led that fire to take place and therefore maybe effectively they did. Sorry your house burned down. Now mow your lawn. Pay 750 bucks. She did actually do all of that work herself. She fought the citation. Fortunately, though, even after she mowed the lawn, not even after she mowed the lawn, fought it, eventually got dismissed. So I guess good. I think it was a joke, she said. Except for it wasn't a joke. It was an actual institution flexing on its victims for no other reason other than they can. Carol Sandberg, who lost the home that she'd lived in for 40 years, received a non compliance bill to the tune of $31. Now you may think, well, it's not a huge amount of money. Yeah, it's the principle behind it, she wrote on the back of the citation. This is insulting and cruel. We have no house. We also have no brush to mow or to clear. The photo went viral, which led to a bunch of attention, which fortunately is why we're talking about this here. Several other instances have occurred. Christina Martinez called the fine that she was issued one final gut punch, which is exactly what it is. The state is effectively and city turning the screws on people who have already been flattened by the fire that likely was caused and spread due to negligence. Of the people that were supposed to be in charge, hundreds of families ever seemed saved. These same notices after the fire, the city hauled away burn debris. Then, you know, once the land is vacant, nature does what nature does. Grass and brush started to grow on empty lots because that's what happened. Now, despite the fact that these families didn't have homes after a year, and the irony of the city now enforcing rules that they clearly didn't force years ago, or else the fires might not have been as bad, the Los Angeles Fire Department issued brush clearance citations anyways. The same rules that apparently now apply to every property in high fire zones, although they weren't being enforced, are now being enforced. First, the threats came in at $750 fines. Then there was some outrage. So they said, okay, well, we'll lower these to $31 bills. And there was wave after wave. In just one round of the wave, the waves of fines that were hit with these properties, 312 properties were all clumped together in just one wave of it. Now obviously this is insane and unworkable on several different levels. And the backlash of it was, was severe. And fortunately, the city has canceled a lot of the fines because the leader of la, Mayor Karen Bass, needs to be in front of everything. Her office called these bills unacceptable. After they find people and after people were outraged, now, then after they were forced to retract those fine, they're unacceptable. Um, they said then now going forward, they're going to be working with victims on a case by case basis, as if that's going to, to solve much of the problems. But the rules themselves don't necessarily need to be new. What seems to be new is the enforcement of all these rules, which, like I mentioned earlier, the irony being, hey, if you enforced these prior to this and didn't get bogged down with your own bureaucracy of, well, if they mow the lawns, that'll create an environment hazard for this one tiny bird that nobody cares about, then maybe the fire wouldn't have been as bad as it was. Applying them to families now who've literally gone through so much is extraordinarily tone deaf. I hate to laugh, but it's just so unbelievable. It elicits some sort of deep seated dark humor, I guess. The brush fires, the brush finds, I should say, are just the latest chapter in a much larger rebuilding nightmare. And as of March 2026, as of right now, only about 14% of the destroyed homes have received rebuilding permits. Not been Rebuilt, received the permits. Fewer than a dozen full rebuilds have actually been completed. Across the broader Los Angeles wildfire zones. Insurance delays are still blocking 53% about of victims financially, with many victims receiving 30 to 50% below the actual cost of replacements. Part of that is because in construction, prices have jumped by more than 40% since the fire. Thousands of families are now continually being housed in temporary housing for just 14 months. At this point, some who are justifiably, just simply exhausted have just decided to sell the property, walk away entirely. Now for the sake of time, we don't need to get into or can't get into the facts of who purchased those and for what reason. Some of those look relatively suspicious, but we don't need to talk about that right now. But I'd like to stay on the track is the city and the state, by the way, have said, hey, we're going to roll out these fast track programs. We're going to reform the way we do things. We're going to waive fees, we're going to, we're going to suspend some of the rules that are usually in place and we're going to promise 30 day permit reviews. How's that actually going? Did the leaders that said all of those very nice fluffy things immediately in the aftermath of the fire get credit for the promise without actually having to follow through? It kind of looks like it has 14 full build permits, have been 14% of houses burned down have full full build permits permits. Mayor Karen Bass pointed to the fact that thousands of permits were finally issued in February and March of 2026, as if that helps her claim. She says the first home rebuilds are expected to be finished this summer. Find me somebody that fully rebuilds a house in three months. I will, I will show you a liar. Especially now. Now, despite all of these promises, the survivors of the fire, the victims of the fire that are living away from their homes for now more than a year justifiably still say the gap between the promises and the reality remains very, very, very large. The people who lost everything currently are now stuck paying rent. They are fighting insurers, they are navigating red tape and now they are getting fined by the very organizations that failed to protect their community in the first place for grass that grew up around their burnt lot. Now, dare I say the worst part about this, unfortunately, in my opinion, is that none of this is like actually surprising. The most bureaucratic city inside the most bureaucratic county, inside the most bureaucratic state is doing exactly what overly bureaucratic systems always do, making it harder for people who need to do something to do anything. There's a long rant that could be had here, but I think the summary of it is let this just be yet another example of the practical effects of big government on the lives of people who just want to rebuild the house that got burnt down. Probably because the government at the state level and at the local level didn't do its job to prevent any of the fires that everyone saw coming. I realize that's a relatively heavy topic to get into, especially on a Friday, but that one's been, that one's been stuck in my head since I read about these. These fines have been going on for the last several months and it got to a point where I've seen so many articles talking about people getting fined for not mowing the lawn at a lot that doesn't have a house because it was burnt down. That is just all right, this is, this is too much. And yeah, sure they are canceling a lot of those fines, but the fact that they were there in the first place is a sign of a much, much bigger problem. It shouldn't have to take the backlash of us in the media and the community at large to cancel something that never should have been instituted in the first place. Anyways, sorry for being heavy on a Friday. That's just the nature of I don't know the news cycle, but appreciate you stick around tuning in. Any thoughts that you have, go to tptp USA.com the email address tbt tbsa.com I also should mention I've been told by several folks on the team here got a slew of comedy shows coming up. Go to any of my social media platforms to see if we are coming to your neck of the woods. The Stand Up Comedy, the Freedom Comedy, the Star Spangled Banter Comedy tour coming to a place near you. I think the only specific date that we've announced so far is a date that actually got moved back where Anaheim, California. April 16th is the date. If you would like tickets or a link to tickets, send an email tptp USA.com I've been told to promote that sort of stuff also. She's speaking of promoting stuff. Yeah, there's, there's a, there's a lot going on at TPOSA to go ahead and check out tpoa.com for the pick up the Mic tour. Erica has been going on several col or high school campuses for the Club America tours, the college tours about to announce bunch of stuff going bunch of events basically I think is mine tposas, you know other conservative events in your area. Let us know if you'd like more information on that or go to tposa.com TPT.com is the email address. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

We would love to have more consistent programming during the weekend. Our Rock Block program is dependent on funding venues that are available to host band based programming. We would love to extend the camp to a second consecutive week so that kids can go a little bit deeper into what they've created during the first week camp. And we'd love to expand our programming to offer more industry related skills like audio, lighting, production, recording so that kids can be on a track to see where what they may create with an instrument can lead, but also to welcome those that may not want to be on stage but lack the opportunity at school to have an entry point into music.

I think this is why Alex Clark needs to have me on our culture apothecary podcast. This. I'm, I'm not convinced that this sort of stuff doesn't work. I don't know. Send your hate emails. Tptpusa.com does having somebody cast away the evil spirits around you, is that, is that damaging? Now, I will say this. If your life is in order, I don't see this as a problem to just like do. It's probably not effective at really anything. It's probably a waste of money. But you know, if things are going okay and your, your head is on straight, sure, fine. Now what I will say though is if you look to this sort of thing, the casting away of whatever it is that this lady is doing as a way to fix your life in any way, shape or form, I would recommend getting your life in order in a real sense. Before that, don't, don't think that this is going to work. I don't know. TPTBC.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns about, about this hokey dokey. And this is coming from a guy who like goes barefoot as often as I can because of earthing or grounding, whatever it's called. So anyways, all right, lots of news around the day. You know, Fridays is kind of like a culmination of all the different newsy type things. So this, this, this first one. Well, hold on. Getting ahead of my skis here. Let's introduce the segment first. Lots of points to be made. Let's get to the point, get to the point,
- [22:49]
YEAH Representative
get to the point.

Joe Bob
In real time. I'm mulling over whether or not to make the reference to one Roseanne Barr on this first story. I thought the chick was white. I. Wow. That. I don't want to be too hip for the room Roseanne Barr had. Remember this is what, 2019 when one of the networks brought back Roseanne and that was the top show in America because it was the only show on network television that had like a semi conservative slanted. And then the show got canceled when Roseanne Barr said something. I don't Remember what she said specifically about Valerie Jarrett? I think it was a monkey reference, actually. She said something like, oh yeah, this ape or something. Something like that. We don't have a picture of Valerie Jarrett. Apparently Valerie Jarrett is black. I, I couldn't have told you. Looking at a photo of her, which makes the reference to primates bad. I don't know. For some, I don't know why people. Okay, whatever. Bottom line, Roseanne Barr lost her show because she made a comment that was. She did. She thought Valerie Jarrett was white, as most people would. If you looked at a photo of her. This is, this is bad show producing on my part. We should have had a photo of her. Google her really quick. She looks, she looks white. And therefore, you know, whatever, whatever disparaging comment you want to make about her, go ahead. But I guess you can't because she actually is black. I don't know. I don't know how the rules work, but that's, that's what I think about every time I hear about Valerie Jarrett. And here we are again. What a minute into a screen about Roseanne Barr and the cancellation of a semi Trump show in 2019 without even getting to the freaking headline yet. I apologize. It's just, this is just. We're tying it all together. Speaking of Valerie Jarrett, she earned $740,000 as Obama's insiders filled top roles during the $850 million presidential center build. Federal tax filings reveal the Obama Federation paid CEO Valerie Jarrett three quarters of a million dollars in 2024 to work for the Presidential Library Foundation. The report highlights that several former Obama administration campaign officials hold high ranking positions at the foundation, with total spending on salaries and benefits rising to $43 million as the organization grew to 337 employees. What do they do that? That's my question. What do 337 people working for the Obama administration for freaking do? Sorry, Not Administration Foundation. $43 million in salaries. Three quarters of a million dollars to the CEO. The CEO of what? What do they do? Obama gets around blow, like runs his mouth a little bit. Other than that, I guess building that brutalist monstrosity of a library is something that they're doing, which by the way, is the most ugly freaking piece of infrastructure I've ever seen. Okay, so I guess the. The headline here is former Obama admin advisors make absurd amounts of money to do nothing, which should come as a shock to no one. All right, moving on from earlier this week. This from the Associated Press. Uber's women only option goes nationwide in The United States. The headline rephrased is car accidents go up substantially as Uber. That was, that wasn't charitable. That wasn't fair. The joke, you know the joke. You could tell it's a Friday. We are, we are really into it. Uber has launched a nationwide feature in the United States that allows women and non binary drivers to request matches with another, with one another to improve safety and comfort. Now, the obvious takeaway from this is the non binary component. Well, what if someone just says they're non binary and now they're guaranteed a woman driver? Now, not only is the passenger unsafe because the woman driver, the driver is unsafe because the non binary. I, this, this, this is our last show, ladies and gentlemen. I've mocked the driving skill of women too much. I probably. This probably will be met with severe consequences. I probably. By the way, of course I'm kidding. Like just as a. I, this is all a joke. Not that, not the non binary woman driver thing. That's actually a serious threat to females who are driving cars. The whole. Yeah, yeah. Any dude can just say, oh, I'm a non binary and I'm going to guarantee to get a woman driver. Oh, this is. Statistically speaking, I do think women are actually in accidents at a higher rate per capita on driving time, but that we wouldn't talk about it right now. Okay. But Uber launches this new feature that is going to. Unfortunately, everybody knows that this is going to be a problem. It's been taking place in a bunch of US Cities so far and yeah, we'll, we'll update you on how this plays out in a couple months. All right, next point, to get to Yamaha Motor Corp. Moving its US Headquarters from California to Georgia. In the latest massive corporation to leave the poopiest state in the union, Yamaha Motors is moving from Cypress, California to Kennesaw, Georgia. After 50 years of operation in California. The company cited structural reforms to improve profitability and efficiency in response to rising costs in the US Market. These are the primary drivers of its relocation. Also, they were tired of their employees having to step over human feces and meth needles. Meth needles, Heroin needles, meth pipes. Sorry, I'm conflating the two drugs and their paraphernalia. That's. I like how companies have to issue these statements. To pretend that it wasn't the horrible governance of the state of California that they're leaving. No, no, no. It was the, it's the, the, the, the, the business climate is better in the country in this place. No, no, it blame the government if just, just if More companies cited the real reason as to why they're leaving. Oh, massive taxes, unbelievable regulation, and the state is crumbling. If they cited those reasons, maybe less companies would have to leave. Or maybe you could just threaten to leave and maybe the. The maybe enough companies threatening to leave would fix the system. But nope, you gotta issue the hey, we has nothing to do with the horrible governance of the poopiest state in the nation. It's everything to do with just weed out of here. Alright, fine. California loses another one. Speaking of California companies, this from the California Post, I believe. New York Post. California Post. Eight new emojis just dropped, including a controversial icon. This prompted an apology from Apple. Apple has introduced eight new emoji characters, including an orca, a trombone and a cheszer chest as a part of the newest update for iPhone. Let me do we have the emojis at the ready so that we can see what is what is what. I'm going to try and make an educated guess at which emoji is offensive and has prompted backlash from consumers which resulted in an Apple apology. I'm going to go ahead and go with the hairy creature. I assume that Italians took great offense to that hairy creature emoji and that is what prompted the backlash. Let me see if I'm right here. Jeez, everybody's coming in for a kick in today. The women drivers, the Italians, who by the way, I am married to a. An Italian woman driver. So all of these jokes are acceptable to me. For me to say, let's see, what was it? The update featured a distorted face icon that has sparked conversation online for its surreal appearance alongside this. The distorted that. That's the one. If you're watching this and not just listening to the podcast that of all of the emojis, that's I think the least one. Like the trombone could be like wind instruments take offense to the brass section being promoted. Where's the clarinet? The treasure chests? Oh no. Conquest. Conquest is bad. Colonization is bad. As I already described, the Italians could take offense at the hairy creature. What is that one? Flight Cloud fight Cloud Violence. Yes. No question that would be offensive. The orca. Yeah, the blackfish documentarians are very offended that the orca is being used as a whimsical emoji. And landslide. Yeah, I think libs would take offense to that as the landslide depicts them in many recent elections. So I can see how all of these can be offensive except the distorted face. Whatever. Okay. All right. Geez. Get. Let's get to the. Let's. Is this the last one? Oh, and this is my favorite one. This, if you're not hip to this story, this is, this is great. I think this is also the most fun I think I've had in the getting to the point. This is just a rambunctious set of stories we've got here. Trump is a, is, is reportedly just giving away shoes. So reportedly gifts, cabinet members and White House visitors with floor shine shoes. I'm not sure what those shoes are, but so, so people come into his office in the Oval Office and is kind of a part of the conversation. He looks down at your feet sizes. Yup. It says, hey, you, you'd really, you look really nice in these shoes. And he, like, really has a thing for these shoes. The President has reportedly developed a personal obsession with $145 floor shine dress shoes and has begun gifting them to various cabinet members, aides, and media allies. Hey, what size shoe do you wear? Tell me, let me tell you. You look really good in these shoes. And then he orders the shoes and pays for them. It's honestly great. What a great dress gesture from the President. What size shoe do you wear? Eleven, eleven and a half, Mr. President. Why? I got just the thing and then he buys you shoes. Now, the only problem with this other, other than this, you know, very, you know, kind of shows the temperament of the President. Very giving, very generous guy. The only problem is that some aids, according to this and this from the Guardian, so who knows how slanted this can be. Some of the aides are like, I, he bought me these shoes and now I'm afraid to show up to work not wearing the shoes. Like, could you imagine that the President of the United States, hey, you got a problem with the shoes that I bought you? What's going on here? Which honestly could be an actual concern. I, Let me, let me, I'll say this. If the President buys me these pairs of shoes, I will wear them every day so long as I am on US Soil. At the risk of offending the President of the United States. So I can see how that could possibly be a concern. Tptbusa.com if, if you own a pair of these shoes, I would love to hear from you. How are they comfortable? Maybe I'll, maybe I'll go snag some of these just so I can have them. Hilarious. Yeah, the President pays for the shoes personally. Awesome. This is a fun, this is fun clips. The clip, the clips today were fun and also may have gotten me into some severe deep water, as the show goes. I guess that remains to be seen. We'll we'll update you as as the Uber story updates in a similar timeline. TBT tbc.com is the email address. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

Joe Bob
Right. Which is discrimination. Yeah.
- [38:48]
YEAH Representative
We're at Smoothie King, and they're discriminating and saying we cannot get service because Jake has a Trump service on.
- [38:56]
Commercial Announcer
Okay.
- [38:57]
Joe Bob
So please just have a great day.
- [39:01]
YEAH Representative
We were just wanting a smoothie, and you literally looked at us and I asked you if everything was okay. You said, we don't feel comfortable serving you because of my husband's hoodie. That is discrimination.
- [39:12]
Joe Bob
That is illegal. So that's what I did.
- [39:15]
YEAH Representative
So I said, Trump discriminates us. That has nothing to do with us wanting a smoothie.
- [39:23]
Joe Bob
Lots of things going on here. First things first. And this is the only kind of question I have about this. Is that illegal? Like, I. I guess. I. I don't know. Right. You can't discriminate based on sex, race, orientation. I think what. All of the things that you can't. I don't think think clothing is on that. Just from a technical standpoint. Right. Like, I think we reserve the right to refuse service to anybody. I'm not sure if that applies now. Is that terrible? Yes. Of course. You should not ever discriminate against somebody for wearing a Trump hat. That's insane. That's just like bad business. Generally speaking, the people that have money to buy products are conservatives because they don't want that money being taken away from the government. And therefore, you know, most people that are patronizing your business are conservatives. That's just because we have. We have more money because we're better with it than lips. And I believe these Smoothie King employees were dismissed from their jobs, which you can be like, yes, great. That's cool. The problem is, what do you think happens when they no longer have jobs? Oh, they freaking go on welfare. So I cost me more money. Now. I'd rather have the smoothie. I'd rather pay whatever the $6 it is for a smoothie. I don't know what a Smoothie King smoothie costs. Jamba Juice. We don't have Smoothie kings here in Southern California, but Jamba Juice is outrageous. Like 7, 8, 9 dollars for a small smoothie. If prices are that in the Smoothie King world, wherever they do have Smoothie Kings. I am more happy to pay that dollar or, you know, face whatever discrimination then get those people fired, because, like I said, they're gonna go on the unemployment line because they're freaking libs who won't serve MAGA customers, and it's gonna cost me freaking more money. That's my only hesitation there. Yeah, get. Get. Get them out of there. Because, you know, fire people who should be fired, but at the same time, don't let him collect more of my money for being fired for being an idiot. I. Way more nuance there than I thought we were gonna have. All right, speaking of things that we don't have time to get to, because sometimes. Sometimes we like to go a little bit nuancey on this program, which means throughout the week, we don't get to all the clips. We prepare a lot of clips on this show that, unfortunately, we just don't have time for. So we'd like to make a new Friday tradition of the clips that we don't have time to just. Just get to them, which we're calling out the clip Cleanout, cleaning out the clips we didn't use this week.
- [42:01]
YEAH Representative
It's the Clip Clean Out.
- [42:05]
Joe Bob
That's my favorite jingle. I've decided that's my favorite jingle. I feel like I should be doing the Carlton dance, cleaning out the clips. We didn't. Okay, somebody's gonna clip that and put it on the Internet. This is already on the Internet. So just. All right, who. Okay, Clip Clean out. Let's. Let's get to the first one. Let's. This is one we didn't get to. I believe it was Wednesday, Maryland. Lib. I don't even want. How do you pronounce this guy's name? Owinsky calls out ICE and what he says is amazing. It's the Clip clean out. Cut 13. Ice has become a lawless agency. It's why I called for Secretary Noem's firing or impeachment. It's why I will not vote to give ICE another penny without at least significant, significant reforms. I'm caught between calling him an idiot, because literally the entire job of ICE is to enforce the law. So calling them a lawless agency is hilarious. The only thing that they're doing is enforcing the law. And ironically, the thing that libs want them to do is ignore the law, which would be, in fact, lawless. At the same time, the other angle approach I might take to this sort of thing is, God, can you. They're a lawless agency. Wow. There are several people on my deportation list. That probably don't fall within the parameters of being deported from the country. But hey, since they're a lawless agency, let me go ahead and submit a couple names, see if we can get my closest enemies out of the country. How about that? I just, you said they were lawless, so I'm just, you know, playing by your rules that you set up, considering the fact that they have no longer have to abide by the law, as evidenced by what you're saying. I got a long list of enemies because. Get them out. All of them. All, all of my enemies should be deported, regardless of their immigration or citizen status. This is why I shouldn't be king. Wow. Clean it up. We're feeling, we're feeling all funny here on a Friday. Razzle dazzle. All right, next clip. This, I believe, is one Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, current wicked witch of the West. Cut 14. Madam speaker, why does Trump need authority for Iran when Obama didn't get congressional authority for Libya? And you were supported by that operation.
- [44:44]
YEAH Representative
Do your homework.
- [44:45]
Joe Bob
Read the law.
- [44:47]
YEAH Representative
Because they're two different things. Unless you didn't notice, we've lost people in war already. So the fact is, is that the, what Obama did was limited military force. This is beyond.
- [45:01]
Joe Bob
That was a war, though, in Libya. Right.
- [45:03]
YEAH Representative
It was limited military force. We don't even know if these people admit that this is war that is going on now. So I just think if you read the law, you will see the difference.
- [45:19]
Joe Bob
Maybe that should, maybe I'll just start saying that as a rebuttal. Read the law. These two things that are exactly the same are different. And orange man, bad. Shoot. Did I say that out loud? Oh, no. I am so excited. This time next year, one Nancy Pelosi will no longer be in Congress. Couldn't come soon enough. All right, let's see. December center for Immigration. This is a another clip that we didn't get to. Earlier this week, center for Immigration Studies Director Jessica Vaughn is talking about sanctuary policy. Let's check this out. Cut 15.
- [46:04]
YEAH Representative
You know, it's, it's a slap in the face to legal immigrants to have, say, allow these policies that shield individuals from immigration enforcement, most of whom are criminal aliens. Immigrants don't want to live with these policies either. Something like 70% of the American public is opposed to, to sanctuary policies.
- [46:27]
Joe Bob
Yeah. That is so often a neglected point with libs. It's like, okay, so, so a bunch of the people that jumped the line and screwed the people that waited in the line, who are the actual people that we probably want in this country if we are going to accept immigration, it screws them over, but nobody wants to talk about that. The people that we actually want in the country that happen to be from another place, screw those people. Let's let all of the illegal line jumpers in and that's who we're going to advocate for. Classic. Um, all right, let's, let's, let's round this up with some good news. This is the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, closing one of the press conferences he had earlier this week. This wasn't widely covered except unless you watched C Span or something, but we'll close out clip the clip clean out with cut 16. The chairman and I having just returned from Dover last night, our troops and their families and the enormous sacrifice that they make is certainly heavy on my mind. So I'll close with Scripture drawing strength from Psalm 144. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge. May the Lord grant unyielding strength and refuge to our warriors, unbreakable protection to them in our homeland, and total victory over those who seek to harm them. And amen. God bless our troops and this mission. That's awesome. You know, as I was watching that, Pete Hegseth made an appearance in that CNN trailer that they played for their ridiculous documentary about why Christians are bad. Remember that was a couple weeks ago. We did a whole thing on it and it was supposed to air on that Sunday and it didn't. It got preempted by the news coverage of the winter storms in New York City, which aren't those should not have preempted that documentary. What actually happened, cnn, I think, pulled the plug. That was like two weeks ago. I still don't think that documentary is aired. I think the brass at CNN was like watched that trailer and went, holy cow, if you thought our numbers were bad now, wait till this thing comes out, which I think is good. I think that means we're winning. Producer GLENN can we play on the outro of this? Can we play the clip clean out jingle one more time before we go to commercial break? Because I just think it's so fun cleaning out the clips we didn't use this week.
- [49:31]
YEAH Representative
It's the clip clean out.
- [49:36]
Joe Bob
I just love it. It's so much fun. I hope you had fun. Tptpc.com is the email address. Another new segment coming up here on A Friday. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.
- [50:01]
YEAH Representative
Well done for tidying your room. There's £10.
- [50:03]
Joe Bob
Thank you. Thank you.
- [50:04]
YEAH Representative
But you've got to give seven of
- [50:05]
Joe Bob
it to your sister. She didn't even tidy her room. That's just the way it is. Okay, but I'm not gonna tidy my room next time. Can I get some pounds? Of course you can. You can still have it. I'll get it off someone else and give it to you. So I get seven pounds for nothing? Yeah, but listen, only if Daddy's always in charge of the money. So if anyone asks you to pick
- [50:22]
YEAH Representative
between mummy or daddy to be in
- [50:23]
Joe Bob
charge, always pick Daddy. We don't want Mummy to be in charge because she's far right. You got it, kid. That reminds me of the Ronald Reagan story that he would tell. It was like, kid wants to give money to a homeless guy. And the dad says, well, sure, why don't you go home, do some. Some chores. Here's $10. Why don't you go give him five? Well, hold on. This guy didn't do anything. Welcome to conservatism. Amen. All right, new segment. And you know, this is a. This is Friday. The the some wisdom that we may have gained throughout the week or from a simple video clip. It is weekly wisdom. What is this called? And play the zinger. I forgot what the title of the segment is called. Wiser. Okay, please excuse my laughing as I forgot what the zinger was. Meditating. Definitely not. AI me, that does happen when I'm deep in thought. Prayer, meditation. I tend to levitate. Some people call it AIs, but those people are haters. Wiser by the week. You know, I saw. Okay, so I saw this clip and let's just play this clip and we'll discuss briefly. But this is some wisdom gained throughout the week, especially with the emphasis of conservative culture and media being on the blessing that is marriage. Cut 20.
- [51:58]
Marriage Expert
Here's how you fix every marriage. You do four things. Number one, you have more fun together as opposed to rehearsing grievance. More fun, less grievance. Therapy is like grievance, grievance, grievance. Have more fun together. Second is pray together. If you get married, the goal is to fuse your right hemispheres. The best way to to do that is by meditating together. Is by praying together. Is by doing right hemisphere activity together. The third protocol is to make eye contact whenever you talk. Never be talking without making eye contact. Way more important for your wife than it is for you way more important because she gets three times as much oxytocin, which means she's better at bonding, but it also means that she's better at starving when she's not getting enough oxytocin. And last but not least is remember abt always be touching. Always be touching. Always be touching. More important for men than for women. As a matter of fact, that's why when you're with your beloved and she hooks her arm into your arm while you're walking down the street, you're like, I'm big and strong.
- [52:54]
Joe Bob
You know, I liked that because those are some practical and easy tips. My wife and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary. What was that? Tuesday of this week. And I don't know, I was getting a bunch of marriage stuff in my feed. And you know, given the fact that conservatives promote correctly the idea in the institution of marriage, I think it also should be emphasized in our movement, like the maintenance of said marriage. I think I just got lucky. I got. I married somebody who's very in tune with what she's feeling, what's going on, is very, very good at communicating those things. And I don't know, we do a lot of that sort of stuff. And I wish that more people knew how to maintain this beautiful thing that is marriage. And stuff like that gives me hope. Maybe some people will check that stuff out. So there's the wiser wiser this week. Why? I don't even remember what it's called. Wisdom of the week. Wiser by the week. There we go. New fun little segment we'll do on Friday. All right, we'll round out the week, send you off into the weekend with me poorly translating one of the weird beards. Sorry, Iranian leaders from this week also. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.
- [54:28]
YEAH Representative
To see the cutest things here on the beach. Oh, no.
- [54:31]
Joe Bob
Homeless man incoming. No, turn around, bunny. Not when she's saying I do. Right in the shot.
- [54:36]
Commercial Announcer
Typical California.
- [54:40]
Joe Bob
Does that look like California? No, it does. The. Yeah, the sun's on the right side of the. The water. And by that I mean the correct side of the water, but also, yeah, this classic California. What would you do as a husband or a future husband you're proposing to your would be wife. Picturesque background. All of a sudden, I don't know, some homeless likely meth head walks into your picture. What? Like, do you, I mean, do you stay in the moment? Do you try to have that whole thing or are you like, nervous? I feel like I'd be nervous not about, like, the proposal, but like, you know, you get within a certain proximity of these people, they can freak out because their brain is gone. Which is sad and of itself, but we're ending it on a downer. You know what? This won't be a downer. Actually, maybe it will. There's no jingle for this. I wish there was, but headed out into the weekend, we decided to have some fun here. And I'm going to attempt to translate a. Whatever. This guy is an Afghanistan education minister. Now, I don't speak Arabic or whatever dialect of Arabic they speak in Afghanistan. Farsi. Is it. Is that Arabic in itself? Doesn't matter. I don't speak the language of this guy, but I'm going to attempt to translate nonetheless, and then we'll kind of read a characterization of what he actually said and see which one is better or worse. Play this. Cut 19. I, weirdbeard, pledge my undying allegiance to your president who left hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars of weaponry, machinery and ammunition in my country, the great and powerful Joe Biden. I think that I, I'm picking up a little bit of what he's saying, but yeah, that. That seems on par. That should track with what Afghani leaders think. Thanks, Joe Biden, for leaving a ton of US Military equipment in our country and just abandoning it in the worst possible way. Yeah, go ahead and. Yeah, go. Go ahead and abandon the air force base you have. And. And let's just try to evacuate everybody out of the airport that's in the city center that's surrounded by the Taliban. That. That's a good idea. Thank you, Joe Biden. I think that's what he's saying. All right, let's get to what he's actually saying. This the weird beard dude from Afghanistan, Afghanistan's education minister, who I would imagine that many of the blue haired, overweight lib soc. Female. Women majors would love. What is he saying? What did he actually say? Let me characterize. He has announced that women are permanently banned from schools. Okay, classic. Not much to say here. Mostly because I'm advising myself against a joke that could be made that involves goats. That's going to do it for us here. Any point that. I appreciate you sticking around tune again. Have a great weekend. See if you can unplug from the news a little bit. If you can spend some time, some quality time with your family. We will see you on Monday, same time, same place. God bless America.
