This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human legislatively. Libs are looking worse and worse. It's not only the SAVE act that is making them look stupid, what else is making them look stupid besides everything? Hopefully you don't have to fly anytime soon. HHS is investigating certain states that are making certain abortion requirements, which is terrible. And some of our favorite Chuck Norris facts. Some people call them jokes. I call them facts. Thanks so much for tuning in. My name is Joe Bob. The show starts right now. If you had asked right now, hey, are we in a government shutdown? I think most people would have been like, no, but we actually are. We're in a partial government shutdown and nobody has really noticed. However, in the coming days, possibly even weeks, especially if libs decide to hold to the ridiculous demands that they are making to keep the partial government shut down, I think people are going to start to notice, especially at the airport, if you have to fly anywhere, especially with Easter break coming up. I call it Easter break, not spring break. It was originally Easter break, just like it was Christmas break. It's not winter and spring break, it's Christmas and easter break. Anyways, TPT tv state.com is the email if you'd like to send us along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms. Those are all welcome. TPT@tpusa.com especially Fridays are fun because, you know, we're cleaning out the clips that we didn't use. We've got the weekly wisdom. Lots of stuff to get to here on the show today. TPT tpc.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns about any of that sort of stuff. And I would like to point out the fact that several of you I've taken great heed to the requirements that are necessary to submit emails. Remember, they have to be vile, gross, disgusting and downright nasty in all nature. And we actually have a better chance of reading it on the show. I think there's several that there's a little addendum to every single one. By the way, I don't actually talk like this, but you said make it vile and disgusting, so that is true. And again, I appreciate all of you who do participate in what is the necessity and the requirement for emails on this show. Tptpc.com if you would like to try your hand pet peeve. Just downright nasty and awful in an email inbox of tpt@tpusa.com Like I said, most people have no idea that we are in a government shutdown and they don't know that it's been going on for more than a month. But yes, outside of the ridiculousness of the SAVE act, outside of the hey, everybody thinks, including in a new, brand new CBS poll, 80% of Americans think, hey, you, you probably should show your ID to prove that you're able to vote. Even outside of that, libs are holding the Department of Homeland Security hostage. And why are they doing it? Well, it's to protect open borders and illegals that are in the country. But at least it comes at the cost of your safety and actual tangible costs. Your. Your wallet, unfortunately lives on multiple fronts, are making themselves look stupid. And even worse than that, people are going to start noticing now, politically speaking, that's great. When libs do dumb things, it should be pointed out that, hey, these people are doing the dumb things. What's unfortunate about it is we unfortunately have to pay the price. Specifically at this point in time, at the airports, if you haven't flown recently, uh, that's good. And if you have to fly in the recent in the coming future, that's bad. Uh, check out this clip of Atlanta. The Atlanta airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the world. It might be the busiest airport in the world. Uh, first things first. It's not known generally for being quick and efficient, but the government shutdown, the partial government shutdown that lives are currently causing has not made it any better. It's actually substantially worse. Cut 15 behind the camera this morning with me. Roger. Give them this perspective. It's unbelievable. Thousands and thousands of travelers just trying to get through the main TSA checkpoint. They have wrapped this line through the baggage claim area over here by Delta. If you've ever flown in to atl, that airport is usually pretty awful and usually pretty terrible, but holy cow, I've never seen it that busy. Yes, Libs have targeted DHS for a partial shutdown, which includes all of the different agencies under the DHS umbrella. Why are they doing it? Well, they're blocking funds in order to weaken ICE and cbp, which is honestly kind of ironic during this whole debate about voter id. Okay, so hold on. You don't want people to have IDs to be able to vote, and you don't want to enforce any of the immigration laws, which would potentially allow people who can't vote into the country and at the same time not check whether or not they're able to vote now? Okay, so what. What happened? What caused this whole partial shutdown? Well, considering the fact that libs love open borders, this book stoked a lot of protests and some violent, unfortunately, and because none of the libs said, hey, you know, keep your protests safe, keep them loud, but also don't, you know, block people with your cars. Unfortunately, in January, that led to two tragedies, and they are tragedies. Alex Preddy and Renee Goode being shot. Now, the justification for that is going to work itself out on the course. But we've all seen the videos. Don't try and hit cops with your car. Maybe not a good idea to bring a loaded firearm to a peaceful protest. But again, not exactly what we're talking about right now. That's just the timeline. And in light of that, instead of libs saying, hey, let's, let's not do these things. Let's, let's keep it peaceful, let's keep it safe, they actually doubled down, they stoked more protests. And in light of that, the libs in the federal government thought, holy cow, I don't want to be on the wrong side of this. I know, let's shut down the department that has all of these law enforcement agencies out in the streets. Instead of saying, hey, they're just doing their job, why don't we let them do their job? Which again is getting criminal illegals out of the country. Many times violent criminal illegals out of the country. Instead of saying, hey, this is reasonable. Let's, let's let em do it. Let's go ahead and shut down the entire thing now. Unfortunately, shutting down the entire thing isn't just the segment that they're targeting. All of the agencies within DHS are also losing funding and are either having to work without pay even though they will get back paid, or just no new things are happening. The House, by the way, has passed two, I think clean bills that would fund all of this sort of stuff. The Senate has blocked this for or more times, depending on how you count that now for over a month that has been happening. The current status is all of DHS is in emergency mode only. There are no new programs. The frozen spending across the board. And then you have to ask the question, okay, so why are they doing that? We'll get to that in just a second. But it all hinges on the most ridiculous demands that libs are making now. They, there are real impacts to this. It's not just some sort of like political, hey, we're going to make the noise about this. And you know, it doesn't really affect anything. It's just kind of our rhetorical arguments being made. No, there are real impacts. Like we just saw. TSA lines are massively long. Agents TSA agents, some are quitting, although not a ton. In a. An agency that has I think 50,000 employees, I think like 3, 3 to 400 have quit, but they are organizing massive sick outs, massive call outs for being sick. And you know, while I think that's a little bit silly, I do understand the sentiment behind it. Like, hey, I'm not getting paid and I would like to get paid. The other day we talked about, well, several of them are going without a paycheck for the first time. Which I said, not that they were overpaid, not they were reading babies, but more broadly that that shouldn't send you over the edge. But again, different conversation for a different time. What also is a real impact is fema, the emergency agency, is not getting funded, currently has effectively no funds. If natural disasters happen, the Coast Guard is working without pay. Sisa, which is cybersecurity, also paused. And ICE and CBP has their enforcement weakened drastically. Unfortunately, the political play that libs are making to satisfy a very, very, very, very small group of people is actually hitting everyday Americans really hard. And the biggest problem with this is that it's happening during a war. If you are at war with a hostile adversary, what should we defund, huh? How about Homeland Security? That sounds like a good idea. So said no one freaking ever. So then the question is, okay, for what? What is all of this for? Here's a line of what it's not for. This is Senator from New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan talking about what? What, what? This isn't about what? This isn't for cut 16. People should know this. Ice is right now funded with more money than it's had in past budgets. And the partial limited shutdown that we have right now has nothing to do with ice. Okay, so then why are you doing it if it has nothing? It's not for ice. Okay, then, then what is the point? Unless, of course, that's just not true in its entirety. Okay, so what are the demands? Well, a couple of them. A couple of them, you know, are interesting in the sense that they're not reasonable at all. One of the big demands is a complete ban on masks or face coverings for immigration officers during operations. Now look, I, I at the very least can understand where that's coming from. The problem is the irony is that. Okay, well, in a lot of states, in a lot of municipalities, and especially some of the biggest lived municipalities, it's illegal to protest with masks on as well. So if you're going to say, hey, ICE agents need to take their masks off, obviously they want to wear masks because they don't want to be doxed online because, you know, libs are violent, crazy people in a lot of circumstances because of that. Okay. If you want to do that, maybe. Maybe we should also enforce all of these other laws that say it's illegal to protest with a mask on, because that is a problem. They also are making demands about mandatory body cameras on ice, which is kind of funny and ironic because at the time, DHS Secretary Kirsty Noem said, okay, that works for us. How's that. How's that been going for police around the nation? It's actually proven that hostile criminals are more hostile than they and their attorneys tend to present when it comes to court. Oh, no. He. We. He was. Hands up, don't shoot. Eh? That had a camera, probably would have shown that didn't happen. But the big thing that they are staking their claim on there, the Hill that they are dying on, is no ICE at sensitive locations. Now, that's not just something buried in the weeds. It is a prominent component of the Hill that libs are willing to die on when it comes to not opening the DHS sector of the government. Here is Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a clip that we've played before, reiterating, no, no, this is not a small thing. This is one of the big things that we will not bend on cut 17. And I won't go through all of the demands, much of which we've talked about repeatedly in the public, but one of those demands is keep ICE out of sensitive locations. And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship, hospitals, and polling sites. We want an explicit prohibition that ICE can go nowhere near any polling sites in the United States of America. It's one of our demands. We're not going to bend on it again. All fairly ironic, especially in the wake of a massive national conversation about voter id. To wrap up the LIB commentary on why it is that they are holding Americans hostage for a reason that doesn't make a ton of sense, because they don't want the laws that they've passed enforced. Here is Representative April McLean Delaney. I believe, rounding up some of the ridiculous arguments that Libs are making. Cut 18, we need to bring TSA workers pay. We need to make sure that CISA workers get paid. We need to make sure our Coast Guard and FEMA is operational again. We do not need to give more money to a lawless ICE that is tearing our communities apart and lawlessly taking people off the streets. To me, that is just an admission that, yes, we are deciding to. We know that TSA workers not getting paid is bad. We need to get those people paid. But we're not gonna do it because, again, a small, very, very small portion of people in this country don't want law enforcement to be able to enforce the law. It is a classic hostage tactic that libs are using to push for open borders. They're using it to sabotage the American agenda. Interestingly enough, again, ironically coinciding with the whole SAVE act, it's also sabotaging the ability to deport. Obviously, DHS needs full funding because we need a strong border and because we want homeland security to be secure. And like I mentioned earlier, especially during a freaking war. Look, I hate to even bring this up because the thought of it is horrible, but it would, I don't know, be malpractice to not mention the fact that Iran, the country that we are at war against, has issued a bunch of threats to vacation destinations and it's spring break. Don't you think we would all benefit. Our safety would benefit from allowing immigration enforcement to do the thing, allowing border patrol to do their thing and do the best they possibly can to safeguard against what could be a very real threat by the country that we are at war with. The bottom line here is that libs are continuing to choose hills to defend that are the most ridiculous, nonsensical hills. The idea that the American people are just gonna be okay with, yeah, I'll show up to the airport three hours before my flight because, you know, I really don't like the fact that sometimes ICE has to be mean to criminals when they arrest them. That's not something that the American people will accept. In the same thing of the voter ID thing. Everybody is against them, and yet for some reason they continue to hold. Why? I have no idea, other than the fact that maybe they just hate America. I don't know. Not all of them necessarily, but maybe it is a bigger portion than all of us are comfortable with. TBT tbsa.com if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms. I. I genuinely am curious since a lot of people were talking about the SAVE Act. Obviously the Iran war is a big thing. Not a lot of people are paying much attention, but this has been going on for a month. If you. If you have any thoughts on this, or if you're like, oh, yeah, that was a good reminder, I forgot there's a partial government shutdown. Let us know. TBT tbusa.com love seeing each and every one of your emails. A lot of fun stuff to get to because it is a Friday. So sorry if that was a little bit, you know, little, little heavy. There's a government shutdown, but also has very drastic implications on a Friday. Well, we'll. Geez, I'm looking at the first headline. Forget to the point. We're gonna, we're gonna go a little serious for a little bit longer, but then we'll have some fun. Cleaning out the clip. Cleaning out the clips of the week. Uh, we'll be right back after the break. TPT tpsa.com don't go away. The culture shocks of seeing all the homeless people. Oh, dude, yeah, it's like crazy. Why don't just build a house? Some of these guys are like, specially talented. They're like, take fentanyl and stand and sleep at the same time. That's called the fentanyl lean. Instead of like taking fentanyl, why not just take a hammer and nails, build houses. So there's an Amish kid who doesn't understand homelessness. I. Dude, same. I just, I don't know. Get. Get a job. Why are you homeless? Build a house. Also, I guess one correction here. It's not the fentanyl lean. There's no alliteration there. It's the fent fold. The fentanyl fold. Obviously very sad and tragic, but at least maybe get the terminology. I love that the Amish. Amish can build some houses, I'll tell you that. I've seen some videos also. Interestingly, the Mennonites, I think, build pretty good houses. Different, you know, geographical regions around the country, but not to get into, you know, religious groups that are very, very handy. But I love that. I don't get it. Just build a house. Yeah, dude, same. It probably costs less than a million dollars of whatever it takes for California to build them freaking housing. All right, hey, lots of points to get to. Lots of things going on around the global news, the world news, the country's news of the day. Points to make on several of those things. Time to get to the point. Get to the point. Get to the point. First point up from our friends over at Newsmax. This is. Was this an issue? I mean, this is very easily explainable, especially from what we just talked about, but Newsmax. As ICE family detentions drop as Trump shifts strategies. Trump administration has significantly reduced the number of families detained by ICE through a shift in more targeted immigration enforcement with populations. The Dilly Immigration Processing center in Texas, specifically, that is one of the biggest main family detention facilities. And it's dropped sharply over the last couple months now. I think the big, a lot of that has to do with the DHS shutdown. Been over a month since libs have for some reason shut down the government, or at least part of the government, including ICE and Border Patrol. So there is that also. Yeah, Trump is shifting strategies and that's totally fine. Certain just things in general happen. And when, you know, the public support for something gets a little bit less. Yeah, you got to move strategy. We've talked about this a bunch and I don't, I know there's several folks that are like, oh, Trump, Trump blinked. Or Trump, you know, failing on this front, changing strategies and maintaining the overall objective. And the overall goal is not blinking. That's just smart. Right? Your goal as a baseball team is to win. And you know, you want to put your ace up there. But if he's getting just hammered in the third inning, yeah, go ahead and take him out and make a change. The objective hasn't changed. You just, you know, pivot a little bit. So there's that. All right. This one I actually like a lot. I mean, I don't like it. It's bad that this is even a thing that we have to consider. But making some corrections, obviously a good thing. The U.S. health Department, HHS specifically, I believe, is investigating 13 states that require insurance plans to cover abortions. The 13 states are California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. All of those states at a state level require insurance plans to cover abortion services, AKA murder, alleging potential violations of. So the, the administration says there's a potential violations of the federal Weldon Amendment that protects healthcare entities and their ability to refuse to provide or cover abortions. And that, I mean, that just makes sense because there's a lot of these like, sharing programs too, on the private insurance side, not the government insurance, which freaking way too many people are on who shouldn't be. I'm not talking about those of you on Medicare. I understand that. That's not how our system works for over 65k. That's not what I'm talking about. Just generally speaking, able bodied, working Americans on government health care. That's not what this is, the private market. There's a bunch of people on these like share plans, which is great. And so what these states are doing is saying, okay, so you've got this, you know, smaller health insurance share plan that is Christian based and run by Christians, adhered to by Christians. Those companies, those share plans would then be forced to pay for abortions. Slash murder. No, like if I'm involved in a share plan, I don't want my money being forced by the state to cover abortions. That's crazy. Um, let's see. HHS has described the probes as addressing what they say is alleged disregard or confusion about compliance with the Weldon Amendment. Which appears to be true, appears to be accurate or at least sorry could be possible is what I should have said. But I hope that, you know, becomes a thing that gets more public play. Hey, this is one happening. And to the federal government saying, nope, can't, you can't do that. All right, Speaking of things that the governments, a lot of governments, a lot of state governments say you can't do, especially here in California from Breitbart. At least eight states seek some form of campus carry for self defense. Legislators in Florida, Louisiana, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming are advancing bills in 2026 to loosen restrictions and allow some form of concealed carry or campus carry for self defense. On college campuses. The fact that you can't is odd. I can understand from like a, a closed off campus, like from a, like a, like obviously a high school or a middle school or elementary school. Fine, small campuses closed off. Hopefully there's armed security there. But a college campus, especially like the sprawling college campuses where you don't even know if you're on the college campus at some point in time. Yeah, those are big, very, very hard to secure. Would be kind of makes sense that students or really anybody faculty is allowed to protect and defend themselves. That kind of just makes sense. And also too, to the folks who are like, well, you know, what if somebody who's not going to do something good? What if somebody's going to shoot, what if somebody violent is going to shoot somebody on campus? I guarantee they're not following the laws anyways. Like, that's not, you're saying, oh well, they shouldn't do that because it's illegal. Yeah, but they're criminals, they do illegal things, so it's not stopping them. We'll see how that goes. We'll keep you updated on those eight states and whether or not that can get through, I kind of think a lot of it makes sense. Again, especially unlike those big expansive colleges where you don't really know. I'm, you know, obviously I would like armed security on high schools, but obviously you don't let kids carry guns. But you know, college campuses, very, very different. And yeah, we'll see how that goes, where it goes. All right, now we're into now. You know, this is not funny. It's not funny, but it is. You know, there's. Chuck Norris passed away. This is from the Hollywood Reporter. Chuck Norris walloping star of Walker Texas Ranger dead at 86. Legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris, best known for starring in Walker Texas Ranger, the long running CBS series, died after being taken to the hospital for a medical emergency in Hawaii, I believe Kauai specifically. He was 86. Terribly sad. Chuck Norris. I, I think this should be well known, right? He's conservative. Truck doors conservative dude. I mean that's just lifestyle wise conservative guy. Not that that makes it any more or less sad, right? Everybody is a child in the eyes of God and it's sad when anybody dies, but also, you know, lost a good one. So because of that, I, you know, know that I'm doing this in, in honor of the memory of Chuck Norris. But the Chuck Norris jokes are like the pinnacle of my elementary, junior high and even high school existence. If you're not familiar with or forgotten the Chuck Norris jokes, Chuck Norris, for whatever reason, like at the very beginning of the Internet became this superhuman, ultra powerful being in the mind of jokesters made on the Internet. So just, just a couple of the favorite ones. The flu gets a Chuck Norris shot every year. Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits. Chuck Norris can dribble a bowling ball. Chuck Norris counts. Counted to infinity twice. Chuck Norris can speak Braille. Once a cobra bit Chuck Norris's legs after five days, excruciating pain. The cobra died. Chuck Norris once won a Game of Connect 4 in three moves. The Dark is afraid of Chuck Norris. I love all those. That's so yes, prayers go out to Chuck Norris's family. Obviously, you know, terrible. But you know, the, the guy will be remembered fondly. One, you know, as a conservative in Hollywood, which is very, very difficult to be. But two, for some reason rising again to prominence during like the early ages of the Internet with Chuck Norris. Just jokes. Chuck Norris jokes were so great. Oh, sorry. Chuck Norris facts. He will be missed. All right, this is actually rounding up our, our news of the day. This is actually super, super interesting. This from the ap. ABC cancels the Bachelorette season with Taylor Frankie Paul citing a 2023 video. I'm not going to play you the video because it's honestly kind of disturbing. But I'll describe it. She's like fighting with her ex or Somebody in what looks like their or her apartment or townhome or something and she is going ballistic. And I don't know what you do about like. So when I first heard about this, this was like domestic violence causing some controversy. I assumed that she was the one who was the victim of domestic violence. The video shows the complete exact opposite. She is throwing chairs and, and the reason, honestly, I would be fine showing the video except for at the very end, you notice that her daughter is there and she's throwing chairs and one of them, I think, hits the daughter. Horrible, horrible, horrific video. Anyways, she was set to be the bachelorette for the bachelor season that was supposed to premiere on Sunday. ABC scrapped the entire thing at the cost of millions of dollars, which is crazy. Not, not, not crazy in a bad way. It's just, it's just a crazy thing. It's an amazing thing that they would decide to do that, forfeit millions of dollars because they thought this was this bad. Honestly, kudos to them for doing that because the video is bad enough to warrant the cancellation of the entire series. But it's nuts that that's like the position that they've had to take. I'm actually not going to read that. I, I brought up her, her response via a spokesman and I think it's pretty terrible. But we don't have time to get into it. And I also don't want to wade into that water. Bottom line, major news or major outlet? Major. Major network outlet. ABC canceled an entire season that they spent millions of dollars on. Dollars on, rightfully so, because of a crazy video from years prior to. Those are a lot of the points. Those are a lot of points to get to so much news. There's so much news. I know you might think, well, you just did a whole thing on the Bachelorette that's not really news. I actually think it is. I think it has bigger cultural significance than a lot of us probably think at the moment. That is the. Those are the points that we had to get to that has been official point or. Sorry, get to the point. Up next Is like some sort of an amalgamation between official business, but we're actually not doing official business in its official capacity. It is official business in the capacity of the clip. Clean out coming up after the break. TBT. TBUSA.com will be right back after this. Don't go away. Seeing people's political affiliations without asking them any political questions. Who do I have with me here today? Caleb Davis. Where are you from? I'm from Morristown, Tennessee. If you could have a dream job, Any job, Money with no object. What would you be? I would manage a professional premier league soccer team. Oh. Who's your favorite soccer player? Oh, Palmer. That's a bonus question because I have no idea what that is. What kind of car do you drive? Drive a Tesla. Wouldn't you buy the Tesla? I bought it in September of last year. September 2025. All right. Do you have a pet? Do. Not anymore. No anymore. What pet did you have? I had a dog. What kind of dog do you have? I had a shih tzu. Shih tzu is a tough breed. Congratulations. Say you're a Republican. I'm gonna say you did a great job. That's right. Hell, yeah. Let's go. Duh. This is, I think, the second time we've brought this lady's videos on because she asks questions past the point of where everybody should know. What does he say his name was? Is it Cole? No, it's some other. That's a soccer player. I don't. He's from Tennessee. He's. I. Conservative. Easy. Done. No, but let's go ahead and ask seven more questions that are completely irrelevant. That's. And just again, for the record, I think I mentioned this last time we brought this lady's video up. If someone goes, what's your name and where are you from? I'm Jaguar, Moonshadow. My pronouns are zeezum, zur, and I'm from Minnesota. Lib guessed it right now. No further questions necessary. Like, all right, I don't know if she's doing this on purpose or what, but, like, all everybody's like, did what? You just look at somebody and see if you could guess. That actually would be interesting. And you probably would get a decent amount wrong because people don't fit into boxes. But that would at least be more compelling. Video game. Let's. Other than asking several different questions of things that are entirely not necessary. Anyways. All right. Hey. It is Friday, so usually we have official business, but instead, today we are. I'm not gonna say the song popped into my head, because I think this is my favorite zinger song. And so I'm gonna. I'm gonna try really hard to not sing along when I say that it is time for the clip clean out. Cleaning out the clips we didn't use this week. It's the clip clean out. I want to do the Carlton cleaning out that clip. Sweet. All right, we may cut that part out from the actual show. If you're watching this, know that I lost an argument. Uh, all right, first up in the clip, clean out of official business, the most interesting senator of all time. Uh, we, we covered this at the time, but we didn't get to play the clip. This is Senator John Fetterman, who we got several emails. Maybe we'll get some of those emails in. Mailbag announced that he's officially going to vote for the new DHS secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen. Here's the clip. And he doesn't even say I'm gonna vote for him. Goes into some fascinating adoration for him. Clit6 now we have a new Senator Mullen coming in and perhaps I might be one of the only Democrats to vote for him because I want to work with him and I've had a great conversation with him. Yeah, okay, so that's not something that you hear from every day. And again we continue down there was the emails were splits. Tptpsa.com if you'd like to weigh in on this. But my thought is like, okay, so even if Fetterman is just like a weasel trying to like get the right leaning Pennsylvanians on his side for reelection, the votes still matter. Like that's so, you know, I think I'm fine with it. But again, TPTP config have any thoughts on that clip? Clean out. This is U.S. senator from Michigan, Senator Slotkin making a ridiculous case during the confirmation hearings for Mark Wayne Mullen for the DHS secretary saying, hey, we haven't ever had to do this thing. Will you do this thing? And notice Mark Wayne goes, I mean, if we have to. Okay, wait, why are you going to do the thing? I didn't say we were going to inherently do the thing. I said we're going to have to. That's literally how this plays out. I know I probably shouldn't have described it, but I just wanted to get the, get the vibe in there before we played this clip. This is cut seven to put uniformed officers at polling locations in 2026. Ma', am, we, we said this in your office. The only reason why my officers would be there if there was a specific threat for them to be there, not for intimidation. And I, even though we didn't need it During World War II, we didn't need it during Vietnam or the war on terror. We never had to put uniform military there. Now you feel that there's going to be a reason that there's going to be an armed threat to the United States that you need. I can't sit there and guarantee hypothetically what threat would be. Not. I'm not Putting military. That's not within my uniform. Sorry, uniformed officers. But if there is a threat, a specific threat, say it's in a Jewish community and there is a threat that's specific to that, to that polling area, then we will work with local law enforcement. There'll be. There'll be a reason for us to be there and it'll be known why we're there. It's like somebody saying, hey, are you going to dump a big bucket of water on your toddler's head? What? Well, you've never, you've never done that before. But let me ask you, are you going to dump a big bucket of water on your toddler's head? She's sitting on the couch right now reading a book. Are you going to dump a big bucket of water on your toddler's head? No. Unless I need to. Then I will. If for some reason her hair is on fire, yes, I will dump a bucket of water on her head. Oh, so you're admitting that you're going to dump a bucket of water on your toddler's head? What? No, I'm just saying if the circumstances arise where I have to do that, I will do that. Oh, man. I just get making buffoons of themselves, but it doesn't stop there. This is one that we didn't get to regarding the SAFE act, which again, is a thing that 80% of Americans agree on, according to a poll from CBS that was like, released today. This is Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon making his argument against the thoroughly reasonable thing that everybody agrees on. Cut 8. This bill is about stopping groups from voting who tend to vote for Democrats. This is again about rigging the next election. Yeah. So what you're saying is that in order to win the elections, conservatives have to make sure illegals don't vote. Is that not just an admission that illegals sometimes vote? I just. I just. Just a thought. All right, last one we want to get to. I want to skip the one we have and go to cut 10. This is Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson, who replaced Governor Jay Inslee, who, from personal information I can tell you, and this has been verified to me by several different sources, was the dumbest person to exist in politics, the guy who replaced him, talking about ice and masks in just a such a jovial term. This is cut 10. Hey, everybody, it's Governor Bob Ferguson. We just had a historic bill signing at El Centro de la Raza where I signed into law a bill that prohibits law enforcement, including ICE agents, from wearing masks. We may be the first state in the country to get this done in a way that, that we think is lawful. We still appreciate all the community leaders who are here today, the elected officials. We're standing up for all Washingtonians and standing up against ICE and the really un American activities they seem to engage in every single day. See now that's actually kind of interesting because you see the very lawyerly response. We're the first state in the nation to sign something that we believe is lawful. Which means you don't think it's lawful because you wouldn't add the caveat of. Well, I think it is because then that protects you from any sort of lawsuits that will come and that will be overturned because it's a crazy rule. What if all the officers have Covid. That's the obvious go to. But this is the we're the first of its kind to do what we believe is allowed. Kind of implies that throwing that caveat in there thinks you maybe you don't believe it's allowed. So there's that. Hey, we cleaned out a lot of clips. Got a lot of done more than we usually do. So appreciate you sticking around during the clip. Clean out. Tptpc.com is the email address. We'll go forth into the weekend with some wisdom. What did we learn this week? What are some of the takeaways from this week? Not really around any of the current news of the day, but something that we should all, I don't know, think about this weekend, especially when we interact with our friends and family outside of the news Ecosphere. That coming up after the break, tbt@tbsa.com don't go away. We'll be right back. The reason why abortion is a conversation is because of who the dad. That's that hulk hole. Let any of these girls get pregnant by Lebron James. No, no. No conversation. That baby's a jewel. It's not a psycho. It's not. Not an embryo. It's not a fetus no more. That's a precious child. How dare you say that's a. That's a very. Probably kind of uncomfortable. Very good point. That is very, very true. Oh, this. Yeah, this. It's just, it's a clump of cells. You're a clump of cells, but it's just a clump of cells. Oh, yeah. What if that clump of cells about to get you retired? Oh, this is a president. Yeah, that's, that's, that's a good, that's a good argument that I don't know that I like making I like making, you know, the practical arguments from like, you know, life begins at conception, all that sort of stuff. But that also, that's that. That argument where it works very, very well with a certain crowd and maybe it should be used more liberally. There we go. Hey. All right. It is. Oh, it's. It's Friday. What do we. What do we call this one? We're getting wise. We're learning things about things that are making us wise throughout the week. Wiser, wiser by the week. All right. The clip, Clean out song is my. Is my favorite one. That one is the most over the top. All right. Hey, wisening ourselves up this week before we head into the weekend. Just. Just something to think about, something to percolate on. The idea of language has been at the forefront of the conservative movement for a long time, and rightfully so. The fact that libs continually try to adjust and, or change and or eliminate the meaning of words that we all understand what they mean shows you that they are attempting to subvert reality and force their own idea of what things should be upon what is actual human nature was actual reality, actual truth, actual objective reality, shared reality that we all participate in. Part of the language manipulation is specifically and solely to confuse those who aren't necessarily paying attention. Obviously not you folks, but you know your next door neighbor that doesn't keep his lawn at the appropriate height. Those people who aren't really paying attention if it confuses them and they feel mean for not accepting this new thing that they're about to be confused on. That is the whole goal of the libs. One of those was very much exemplified in this clip from our friend Jesse Peterson in which he simply asked a very simple question, just does racism exist? And one of the guests on his show, some, I assume lib who does not want to give a clear and concise answer pretends I don't even know what you're talking about. What do you mean by that? This clip is both very, very frustrating to watch, but also very telling on the objectives of libs. To distort and confuse the language in an attempt to bring doubt to folks who aren't paying as much attention as us. This is cut 19. Does racism exist? Depends what you mean. Do you believe racism exists? Depends what you mean. Does racism exist? Depends what you mean. It was just a question and I'm just stating a qualification for the question. So you believe racism exists or not? It depends. On what? What do you mean by racism? It depends on what? It depends on how you're using the word racism. Well, I'm not. I'm just asking the question. Are you telling me you don't know what you mean when you say the word racism right now? It's just a question. And I'm asking you, do you believe that racism exists? Right. It's a question that you're asking. Yeah. Does racism exist? And in order to ask the question, you're using words, and those words are an expression of your thoughts. And since I don't know what, I can't read your mind, I'm asking you to tell me what the words you're choosing to use mean. Are you unwilling to do that? Or how are you. So let me just ask. Does racism exist? What do you mean by racism? Amazing. I don't know if I've seen a more stark example of the intentional confusing of language, manipulating of language in order to effectively confuse those who aren't paying attention to what's going on. Everybody knows what that question means. Does racism exist? And you can answer it in a bunch of different ways. And you know, that's. That's totally acceptable. You can say, well, institutionally, no. Yeah, clearly there are several people around the country that are. So to say that racism doesn't. There's lots of ways that you can answer the question, but if you want to avoid the question altogether, but then be able to say this country is systemically racist and make that case, you have to bend the definition of what racism means. And the libs often do that specifically regarding racism, to point to outcomes. Well, it's racism because, well, this particular individual and this particular individual have different skin colors and different outcomes, as if that proves something, eliminating all of the other variables around it. But again, all of this is intentional. All of this is for the purpose of confusion, because when you're confused, when other people are confused and they don't know what language means, they don't know what a woman is. Oh, it's somebody who identifies as a woman, but there's also several other genders. And all of that is intentionally used to confuse somebody in order to subvert reality and make them bend the knee to something that. That they don't agree with because they feel bad. Does racism exist? I also liked how he just stayed on that. Does racism exist? Just answer the question. You can answer the question however you want, but we have to be able to agree that we all know what this means. All right, coming up, tbt, tbsa.com is the email address. Got some Fetterman stuff. I said we're going to talk About Fetterman a little bit in the email address. Tptpca.com if you want to be included. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away. All right. How much you put down? Three grand. Three grand? How much you paying per month? About a thousand. Okay. How long are you financing for? 527 months. What? I don't. I don't know if this is intentional rage bait. Well, you put three for a time. That's $530,000 for. That's obviously not real, but it's. It sure is funny. What is your credit score? 12. Like. All right. Okay. I don't even know where we. It's mailbag time. Oh, that was funny. That's funny. All right, on the. On the topic of Fetterman again, my position is, even if he is a cynical political snake trying to win over conservatives and he doesn't actually believe these things, his votes still count. Uh, David said this. I think it shows that with proper mental help, even libs can be helped. I should have. I should have pulled this clip. I made that joke to Charlie one time. Interestingly enough, John Fetterman goes into a mental health facility, comes out sounding like a conservative. The case being that liberalism is a mental illness that can be fixed with therapy. That's a good point, David. Great minds think alike. This from Sheldon. It appears that those mental hospitals work. He'll be going. Mary says, I think Fetterman deserves our continued prayers and supports. All right, Mary, I agree with you, but we're trying to be sarcastic and snarky here, and I. You know, you're. Mary, you're right. And you're a better person than I. But now that. Thank you for your email, Barry. Let's see, from Randy Fetterman is to MAGA what Murkowski is to the libs. The only explanation is that he supports voter id, but not the entire save act as written. He does not support men and women's sports. He doesn't support transition surgeries for minors. Wait and. Or no. Yeah, no transfer for minors. Either way, he's compromised to some extent. Seems like kind of a rhino, which, again, yeah, I. I totally agree with you, Randy. The point being, though, is I'm cool with it. Especially because he's a lib. Technically. All right, hey, that's gonna do it for us this week. We will see you tomorrow. Sorry. Monday. Have a great weekend. Same time, same place. We'll be back Monday. God bless America. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

A series of unused news clips are riffed on, with JoeBob providing punchy commentary:
Fetterman’s Political Pivot: Praises Senator Fetterman’s (PA) support for conservative policies, suggesting (half-jokingly) that “liberalism is a mental illness that can be cured with therapy” ([1:06:20]).
Bodycams and ICE at Polling Stations: Features clip from Markwayne Mullin (DHS nominee) explaining uniformed officer deployment only for specific threats, lampooned as obvious logic ([1:08:12] - see notable quote).
SAVE Act Debate: Plays Senator Merkley’s (D-OR) assertion that ID laws are “about stopping groups from voting who tend to vote for Democrats,” which host argues is a tacit admission that non-citizens might vote Democratic ([1:12:30]).
Washington State ICE Mask Ban: Governor Bob Ferguson celebrates making Washington the first state to prohibit ICE masking; JoeBob mocks him for covering potential legal unconstitutionality by caveating “we believe it’s lawful” ([1:14:10]).
“If you are at war with a hostile adversary, what should we defund, huh? How about Homeland Security? That sounds like a good idea. So said no one freaking ever.”
"We want an explicit prohibition that ICE can go nowhere near any polling sites in the United States of America. It's one of our demands. We're not going to bend on it."
Peterson: “Does racism exist?”
Guest: “Depends what you mean.”
Peterson: “Do you believe racism exists?”
Guest: “Depends what you mean.”
Peterson: “Are you telling me you don’t know what you mean when you say the word racism right now? ... It’s just a question. And I’m asking you, do you believe that racism exists?”
Guest: “Right. It’s a question that you’re asking.”
Sen. Merkley (played clip) [1:12:30]:
“This bill is about stopping groups from voting who tend to vote for Democrats. This is again about rigging the next election.”
JoeBob’s response:
“So what you’re saying is that in order to win the elections, conservatives have to make sure illegals don’t vote. Is that not just an admission that illegals sometimes vote?”
“Chuck Norris’s tears cure cancer. Too bad he never cries.”
