So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.

I'm going to make the case as to why Libs unintentionally and ironically handed ICE a massive win. I believe the TSA shut shutdown will result in a massive approval boost for ice. Also, there's a Congressional investigation now open regarding the hospice care or the hospice fraud in the state of California. And the latest on the Cornhole Killer. All that more coming up. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. In a hilarious turn of events, Libs are now boosting the approval rating of ICE via their DHS shutdown. It is hilarious, it is ironic and you should stay tuned for me to make my case on that point. TBT tpsa.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms, all are Welcome@tptp USA.COM what do you think about the stories we cover here? Are there stories that we're not touching that we should be aware of? Send all of those to tbt@tpsa.com and remember, if your emails are gross, downright nasty, vile, just, just the worst thing that anybody has ever said or heard, go ahead and send them. They'll actually fit in correct? Great on the show here in our last mailbag segment of last segment the mailbag segment, the last segment of the day tptp USA.com is that email address. You can also email us tptpsa.com if you'd like information on any of the live stand up comedy events coming to your neck of the woods. Hopefully soon. The thing we've got up now is Anaheim, California April 16, which is a Thursday. But trust me, as a guy with two kids, you'll be home by nine. You can go to TBT TV, say.com if you'd like any of that information. April 16th in Anaheim, California will be yours truly for the Freedom Comedy Night Anaheim. More dates to come soon. I would like to make the case that libs are unintentionally and ironically going to boost the approval rating of their worst arch nemesis, Immigration and Custom Enforcement. ICE is about to get a major approval lift, ironically, due to the libs. Now, we're all aware that the libs have shut down the government. They've said we will not fund DHS because ice, who again enforces the laws that we all agreed on, is the worst organization out there. Therefore we are not going to fund them. The fallout has been, okay, well, TSA has been severely hampered a lot. Not a lot of them are not getting paid. So therefore a lot of them are not showing up to work. So President Trump in a master stroke said, okay, well, if TSA needs help and lines are long at airport, let's go ahead and send ICE to the airports and hopefully alleviate some of the headache that is generally involved with travel. Maybe let's try and lessen these lines down just a little bit. Now, the reason that libs say that we can't fund ice, therefore we can't fund DHS is because how bad ICE is. Now, this is a clip from Senator Chuck Schumer. But remember, this can be a clip from, I don't know, one of a bag, Jillian, clips of libs saying just how bad ICE is. They are the worst and they are uncontrolled. A rogue organization that is hell bent on making life miserable for everybody. This is cut 13.
- [06:52]
Politician Clips (e.g., Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries)
This is a rogue force. They're almost trained, it looks like, to be nasty and mean and cruel and go way beyond what ordinary police departments do. So they need to be reined in. They need to stop the violence.
- [07:07]
Joe Bob
You should be afraid. You should be very afraid, Senator Schumer. They're saying ICE is almost trained to be as mean as humanly possible. Be scared, says everybody on the lib side of the aisle. USA Today interestingly had a piece out with ICE going to the airport saying know your rights. With immigration coming to airports, know your rights, it even gets worse than that. That's not even the worst case scenario with Senator Schumer there. I wanted to play this from Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House of Representatives, in which he talks specifically about what could happen when ice gets to the airports. Cut 14.
- [07:52]
Politician Clips (e.g., Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries)
The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. We've already seen.
- [08:03]
News Reporter
Holy shit.
- [08:04]
Politician Clips (e.g., Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries)
How ICE conducts itself.
- [08:06]
Joe Bob
Be careful. ICE is going to the airports possibly to kill you. That is the leader of the minority party in the House of Representatives. That's not some random congressperson. That's not some random con. That's not some random, random commentator. That is a guy with actual power in charge saying that this federal agency might kill you. Now, of course, this has been the sentiment for the last year. The libs say ICE is the worst and we just hate them because they're awful, even though all they're doing is enforcing the laws that everybody agrees on. The interesting component here, and what is, I think, going to end up being severely ironic and backfiring on the Libs, is the fact that ICE doesn't generally interact with the normal public. When normies are watching the news and they see Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries or, I don't know, pick your lib, saying that ICE is out of control, they're absolutely crazy. Unfortunately, they might actually believe it. However, in this circumstance where ICE is now sent to the airports to alleviate the massively long lines, they are doing something that they don't generally do, which is engage with the people. When people believe that ICE is this nasty, vile, downright horrible group, they might carry that to the polling places. But now that ICE now has a. An opportunity to interact with the general public, guess what? All of those lies are going to be put in the spotlight. All of the mean, terrible, nasty things that Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Schumer and all of the lives have made up about ICE are going to be proven false when things start working out. Now the question is, will it work out? Will lines get shorter? Is ICE going to be able to take on the very, very difficult role of tsa? Senator Schumer weighed in on his thoughts on how this is going to turn out. This is cut 15.
- [10:11]
Politician Clips (e.g., Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries)
Everywhere ice goes, trouble follows. We've seen that. And it is highly likely the airports will be no exception. No one trusts that ICE is going to make things better.
- [10:21]
Joe Bob
Nobody trusts that ICE is going to make things better. This is clearly going to be a massive disaster. Everybody knows it. Everybody is aware. Okay, well, just a little bit of a side tangent here. What is the job that ICE is filling in for TSA security screeners, which is an important thing, but considering the fact that he doesn't believe ICE is going to make it better. This effectively assumes and implies that the job is. It's very, very difficult and TSA does a fantastic job. Now, I'm not trying to demean any of our fantastic TSA workers, especially those who are showing up without getting paid. No, they know they're gonna get paid afterward. What I'd like to say is, basically, though, I think it's within ISIS capability. If you're a federal agent working for Immigrations and Custom Enforcement, I think that you should have a pretty easy transition to screening security bags, especially given the fact that the track record for TSA for cat dangerous material getting through is not great. We all remember the 2015 testing that was done by the DHS Office of Inspector General, in which TSA missed 95% of threats during screening. So what I'm getting at here is that not only do I think ICE will be up to the task, I actually think they can make it substantially better. The question is, has that happened? With a couple days since ICE has now taken to the security lines, has things, have things gotten any better? Here's the other half of that clip that was side by side with Senator Schumer answering that question. Cut 16.
- [12:08]
Martha Stewart
Once again, ice agents have arrived here in Philadelphia. But I do want to point out this is an empty line right now. We are standing in the middle where travelers come to check in for tsa. Yesterday, this was all the way back to the garage. So good news today. Lines aren't too bad. We're live from Brianna Gallagher, Channel 6 Action News.
- [12:26]
Joe Bob
Huh. I'm not sure what to do with that clip there. It looks like a place that ICE went is the Philadelphia airport. Actually, it got. It got quite a bit better. You know what? Hold on. That actually might just be a fluke. That might be a random fluke. Or maybe, as Congressman Hakeem Jeffries pointed out, maybe they killed everybody. Maybe that's why the lines are so short, because ICE just brutalized everybody into submission. And they're either now dead or went home because they didn't want to get beat by the renegade, out of control rogue agency that is ice. Maybe that's probably just a fluke. There's no way it could have happened in multiple airports. Let's check in with CNN and see if that is the case. Cut 17.
- [13:08]
News Reporter
If you look right here, you can see this is the main checkpoint. Almost no lines, no waiting. Sarah. And it's unbelievable at this point. This morning started briskly with a lot of people showing up here at the airport. Lines were long. People were waiting about an hour. But when that rush hour went away pretty quickly this morning, we ended up with this. And there seems to be more lines open than normal right now with the TSA workers here breezing people through. In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up short, shocked at how short the lines are.
- [13:40]
Joe Bob
Oh, well, shoot. Both of those clips kind of lead me to believe that the senator and the congressman there were lying about the inability to be effective of our federal ICE agents. In reality, it kind of appears that, well, this is actually helping on a number of different ways. Yes, alleviating the long lines, but also giving the normal population the normies in this country who may have been swayed by the TV rhetoric of libs saying that ICE is out of control. It may have given them a fresh, new and better perspective. Hey, jeez, ICE isn't so bad. I keep hearing that there are these out of control lunatics, but he helped me lift up my carry on. This guy helped me get through the security line faster. The lines are. I actually kind of like ice. So fascinatingly and hilariously, this all seems to be backfiring in lib's faces. We aren't gonna fund DHS because ICE is so bad. Oh, okay. Well, in order to solve the problems of you not funding dhs, we're gonna send in ICE to fix all of those problems. But remember, they're so bad they can't do it. Oh, wait, they have been doing it. Oh, irony police. Now, the one other massive problem that libs are going to be forced to reckon with is the actual offenses being taken place or taking place on our streets. Because remember, ICE has a job that is to get criminal illegals out of the country. Why? Because one, that's illegal. Two, they are dangerous to the overall population. And if they, if ICE is not on the streets and instead is having to deal with libs defunding of DHS slash tsa, then well, they're not on the streets and they aren't doing the important work of getting criminal illegals out of the country. Which unfortunately leads to bad things. Like this story coming out of Chicago where Sheridan Gorman, 18 year old Loyola University student, was walking and was brutally murdered by allegedly by a an illegal immigrant Venezuelan national. Which has a possibility. I'm not saying that ICE being on the streets would have absolutely present prevented this, but stuff like this is going to continue happening. The more ICE isn't allowed to do their job either by lib legislation or by having to fill in because of the lib shutdown, both caused by the libs on Top of that, there's a massive PR struggle that libs are going to have to face because of this, because they're trying to, as best they can, cover up or at least explain away the horrible, horrible tragedies, not only in this case, but everywhere. But in this particular case, I want to play this clip from Maria Haddon, who is a Chicago alderman, where she talks about the killing of a young college girl by an alleged illegal alien, which, again, ICE is there to get out of the country. See how well this is gonna play. Cut 18 all the time, right?

Martha Stewart
And they go out on the pier, they walk around. So the. The kids were out doing normal, normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time, running into a person who had a gun. They might have startled this person at the end of the pier unintentionally.
- [17:14]
Joe Bob
Holy crap. This is what libs are going to have to deal with and defend. Ah, this. This poor college student was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, happened to be around a person who was in the country entirely legally, where this should obviously have never have happened. And, you know, maybe it was her fault because she startled this criminal, illegal, murderer, and, oh, you know, it just. Just happens. Libs have ironically put themselves in a horrible PR position, politically speaking, having to defend stuff like this, tragedies like this that obviously ICE is attempting to not have happen. They are attempting to get criminal legals out of the country so that this horrible tragedy, stuff like this doesn't happen. So there's a couple things going on here. One, with TSA's shutdown defunding, ICE coming in to help is going to allow normies to engage with ice. Then those normies will realize, holy cow, the people on the TV screen were all lying to me. These people are genuinely kind and helpful, which is the second poise ICE has been, it looks like, clearly helpful in the long lines, alleviating the wait times for security and actually aiding and hopefully probably making the process entirely better. And lastly, of course, is the downside of not having ICE out on the streets doing what they're supposed to do, which is get criminal illegals out of the country. So all of those three things tied together is ironically and very interestingly going to boost ICE numbers in a bunch of different ways, and it will be entirely caused by the libs who are doing it because they hate ice. It's. It's ironic and it's juicy and delicious, and personally, I am here for it. Any way that libs want to punch themselves in the face. I am for and I am unwilling to stop them from doing so. TPTP USA.com is the email address. Would love to hear your thoughts Comments Concerns on this. Like I said, I believe that this is going to drop drastically increase the approval of ICE overall and it'll be fostered in by the libs themselves, which is hilarious. But tptpc.com if you agree, if you disagree, we've got a lot of points to get to this week, including the Cornhole Killer. Allegedly. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

- [23:07]
Joe Bob
What? Okay, thank you. There's so many layers to that. First things first. Yes, you're right. If. Yes, let's. Let's get those people out of the country. Second, the inability for libs to hold two thoughts in their head at the same time is astonishing to me. In a first world country, in the most powerful country in the world, the citizens in that country have to be able to do that. I mean, this is a problem across the political spectrum. Not just in this case, but her mind. Well, that's bad. Ice is bad. Ice is bad. There's a bad. Okay, well, what about this variable brain glitch? You have to be able to consider two things at the same time. And unfortunately, so many libs are incapable of doing that. Hilarious video. Nonetheless. All right, hey, a lot of points to get to. Lots of things happening around the. The news world, the news media, news of the day. It is time to get to the point. Get to the point. Get to the point. All right, first up, CBS here, which is interesting that it's cbs, but I don't need to get into reasons why that's interesting. But cbs Congress launches investigation in California's hospice fraud, citing millions in Taxpayer losses. It is great that bigger, more mainstream outlets are covering this. For way too long it's been on the ground, independent journalism, TPA frontlines, guys like Nick Shirley going over there, Dr. Oz, even going to California to look at that sort of stuff. But the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation, officially March 23rd, so yesterday, into widespread hospice fraud in California, particularly in Southern California and Los angeles, where over 700 of roughly 81800 hospices have triggered multiple fraud warning indicators since the 2022 state audit. Now, Governor Newsom has come out and said, well, we've been on top of this. We've been all over this. We put a moratorium on new hospice facilities coming online, except for the fact that these 700 that have been marked with multiple fraud circumstances incidents have still received payment, they're still billing in the state, is still paying. Uh, so I'm not entirely sure how on top of it Governor Newsom is, actually. Investigators alleged that certain hospices have over billed Medicare at rates averaging $29,000 per person, more than double the national average. Libs will be like, well, the cost of living in California is higher than the rest of the country. Not double, not double that. There's no reason for that other than people defrauding the taxpayer, which seems more likely than anything. Some of those have reached up to $74,000 per patient. That is crazy. But I'm glad that Congress is actually getting involved. I would like. Well, it didn't. It's interesting because a lot of this has come from the administration, which is great. The Trump administration saying, hey, we're going to investigate this, like, what's going on in Minnesota, the DOJ and the, the, the, the admin, basically. But in this particular case, the legislative branch getting involved is great news because there's more weight behind it when there's more people behind it, and there's more people obviously behind it if it's in the House. So great news, Oversight Committee. We'll see what comes out of that in the coming days, coming weeks, coming months. Uh, point number two is from cnn, obviously. I gotta use my, my scary voice here. The Supreme Court's conservatives could significantly alter the 2026 elections. Uh, which means, hey, if states are doing things that don't square with the Constitution, the Supreme Court's not gonna let that happen. I love the, like, trying to politicize the Supreme Court that libs consistently do. Now that the Supreme Court has a majority conservatives, which has not been the case for pretty much the majority of the modern era. Now that that's the case. Libs are like, oh, everything they do is bad and awful. But when in actuality, if you listen to the reasoning behind what several of the conservatives on the Supreme Court actually think, you find that, oh, it's not politically motivated. This is just how they view the world, which is the whole point point of the Supreme Court. I've said this multiple times. Kagan seems to be a smart person lib, but she seems to be smart. Katanji now dumb. Very, very dumb man. Not very, very dumb. She's not, you know. Well, the level to which Katanji is dumb will not be speculated here. But she is not as smart as some of the other Supreme Court justices, especially the libs. And I can deal with a smart person that disagrees with me coming from, you know, a different perspective. What I can't deal with is stupidity. And that is what the libs are currently doing when they're politicizing the Supreme Court, basically couching this as the conservatives are doing it to benefit conservatives. No, the conservatives would do it because they're originalists and they're trying to look at the Constitution as it was perceived by the people that signed onto the Constitution. And if the new laws that are governing elections in this country don't square with that understanding of the Constitution, then they're going to change. It doesn't matter if they're conservative, doesn't matter if they're liberal, if they're interpreting the Constitution the way they see it and that Constitution interpretation doesn't match, doesn't jive with the new laws and they're going to overturn it. Cnn, though, and a bunch of libs trying to politicize it is kind of par for the course nowadays. They're going to look into Mississippi. Mississippi's mail in ballots that are postmarked on election day but received after that. But again, it's all whether or not they can be. They can work within the confines of the Constitution. So there's that. Don't. No need to actually use the scary voice. Okay, Moving on. This is actually fascinating and very fun and exciting. I am excited as well as I'm sure many of you are. This Saturday's upcoming no Kings protest. Several of you are probably looking at your TV dumbfounded going, there's another new Kings protest, which is this like number 4, 5, 3. But there is, there are organizers in the Twin Cities, St. Paul, Minnesota. Sorry. Let me read the actual headline. This from MPR. That's funny. Sketchy. Tens of thousands expected for no clique, no Kings national flagship rally in St. Paul happening this Saturday, March 28th. It is the third wave of national protests against President Trump and his administrative policies. They expect to draw 80,000 participants, the largest yet, with three marches converging at 2pm at the High Point, attendees like Jane Fonda, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez and Senator Bernie Sanders. I for one have taken a contrary position to this, as generally conservatives have. I am excited about this. I'm very excited that the libs are now participating in the thing that we have been participating in for the last 250 years, the fact that we have no King. It is kind of sad and not ideal that they're just now recognizing this, but hey, better late than never when it comes to libs finally understanding what this country was built on. The whole no Kings thing. We've been at the no Kings protest for 250 years. Okay, next point to get to. I do promise we will get to the Cornhole Killer in just a second. This, let's see from Alpha Seeking Alpha, which is a kind of an offshoot news organization, news website, blog post, whatever you want to call it. But I did think it was interesting. The AI bubble is going to burst. The author of this article, Daniel Jones, argues the AI boom has become a classic bubble which never before seen, especially in modern recent history. Bubble bubbles. What's a bubble? Real estate bubble? Internet bubble? Well, the AI explosion looks to also be a bubble, at least according to this dude. Global AI related investments have reached $1 trillion over the past six years. It's hyper scaling in annual spending, yet delivering almost no measurable broad economic impact or productivity gains outside a tiny slice of the economy. It is fascinating for how much we talk about AI. The amount of the percentage of people that actually use AI on a routine basis is very, very small. It's like 4 or 5%. And so yeah, there there are going to be changes because of AI, but I don't know. The apocalyptic economic reversion is it's a big maybe. The article goes on to say despite the massive spending, an MIT study of over 300 corporate AI projects found that 95% produced no return on investment, with profit margin margin improvements almost entirely confined to it, which is about 5% of total GB GDP and financial, which is 8% of GDP. So negligible, I think is what we're ultimately getting at. So I guess we'll all find out together. If you're heavily invested in AI, I'm not giving you financial advice, but maybe, maybe reconsider. If the bubble pops, you don't Want you to lose all of your money. All right, the moment we've all been waiting for. The cornhole Killer. This is this, this headline. Just the headline blows my mind. This from ABC News, but there's a bunch of headlines from around the news world. Quadruple amputee. Okay, we can just stop there and have a nice little whoa moment. Quadruple amputee cornhole champion. All right, so you got no limbs, but you're also a cornhole champion facing murder charges. You found out how to. This is like. This is like double bad as Oscar Pistorius. If you know that reference, great. If you don't, that's fine. Double amputee killed his girlfriend. What is in allegedly. But I think he was found guilty of that in South Africa. Now let's read the whole thing in. Quadruple amputee cornhole champion facing murder charges in fatal shooting. The roller coaster of imagination that had to take place during that just reading of the headline is mind boggling. Dayton James Weber, a 27 year old quadriplegic amputee who became a professional cornhole champion after losing his limbs to a bacterial infection in infancy, is facing first and second degree murder charges for fatally shooting a 27 year old man during an argument while driving in Maryland on Tuesday. Sorry. Monday of this week. According to police, Weber shot the victim who was in the front passenger seat and then asked the two back passengers. Hold on. So he was driving too. So the quadruple amputee cornhole champion was driving a car and managed to shoot and kill somebody. Allegedly. And then asked the two backseat passengers who all knew each other. So there's four guys in a car. The quadruple amputee allegedly murders somebody who's in the passenger seat. He does so while driving, somehow pulls a gun. Cheese asks the guy in the backseat, the guys in the backseat, to help him dispose of the body. They refuse, flee the scene. They alert authorities, leading to Wells body being found in a yard near Charlotte Hall Nearly two hours later. Weber fled to Virginia where he was located at a hospital in Charlottesville and taken into custody. He's waiting extradition to Maryland where additional charges are expected. Well, what does the American Cornhole League have to say about this? They have issued a statement expressing condolences to the victim's family and saying it would respect an ongoing judicial process. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. The American Cohole Cornhole League has weighed in. Now, look, obviously tragic and horrible, terrible situation going on, but whole. Holy moly. This is a. This, this is a ringer. This Somehow the quadruple amputee cornhole champion was able to pull and fire a gun while driving a car.

If you were to make this story up and pitch it to me as some sort of, like, satirical thing, I would have been like, nah, that's too unbelievable. But here we are. All right, well, hey, that is all the points we have to get to today. Coming up next, my favorite part of the show, official business, in which people in their official capacities say things which therefore inherently make it official business. Coming up next, tptpc.com is the email address. Don't go. We'll be right back after the break.

I'm also part of marginalized groups that have been historically oppressed. And it's like, keep on raising awareness and, like, slaying. Like, I hope that, like, we reach more equity soon.

Joe Bob
We actually have a equity commitment form. You can actually give up your spot at university for a member of the Tongva tribe. Is this something that you'd be willing to do for this underrepresented, underprivileged community?

Martha Stewart
Honestly, no. But I hope somebody else does. That's great.

Joe Bob
You don't get to pretend to be virtuous or charitable with other, other people's resources. I know that's not exactly what's happening here, but he's like, you know, people who are marginalized need to, like, be promoted. Okay. Would you like to help with that? No, but somebody else should. Like, like people that advocate for more social programs who don't pay nearly the taxes that the rest of us do, are not virtuous. They're not, like, charitable. They're not like good hearted people. If you want to do that, do it. Go do yourself. Start. Start. Be the change you want to see in the world. Something Gandhi said. Well, I'm imagining a lot of these folks are big fans of, but you don't get to call yourself a good and charitable person if you're not willing to do the thing that is required to fix the problem that you care so much about. All right, hey. Official business is when official elected officials, bureaucrats appointed, say things in the official capacity which make it official business. So that is what we'd like to get to now. This is official business. All right, first up here in official business, we've got an older clip making the rounds. This is Senator Chris Murphy while talking about. Well, considering that one, the DHS shutdown over immigration enforcement is kind of at the top of the news. And because the SAVE act, which requires American citizens to prove that they are American citizens in order to participate in the sacred duty of American citizens, since those things are both at the forefront of the news of the day. Here's an older clip from from then msdnc, sorry, PMS now, sorry, msnbc, whatever that channel is called. Here's him saying the thing that we all accuse them of, but apparently they actually believe this is cut six. The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship. It was entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding. Right. Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the democratic strategy for 30 years maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country. You know, it's funny about these sorts of things is when you realize he realized he just said something that's going to get clipped up and used on shows like this. The people that we care about most, the undoc. Oh shoot. Oh no. As a person who has been in a situation like that maybe a time or two where you start saying something and you use some words that maybe it didn't intend to and now all of a sudden, holy cow, I'm saying the wrong thing. But you kind of have to play it off because it's live tv. I can sympathize with that a little bit. But also maybe it's just a deeper look into the actual true psyche of the Libs. Those are the people they care about most, the undocumented Americans, or as the law likes to call them, illegal immigrants. Now, speaking of things that are just so downright nasty that we can't allow them to happen, the thing that 80% of people agree on in this country, which again, you can't get 80% of Americans to agree on pizza toppings, let alone policy, is that people should have to show an ID in order to vote. They should prove that they are the person that they say they are by showing a government issued ID and proving the fact that, hey, I am this person and two, I have the ability and eligibility to vote in this election. Seems like a no brainer. And yet the libs are continuing to make the rounds. I know we've played a thousand of these up to this point, but I think my favorite ones is the Jim Crow 2.0 rhetoric. This is New York Representative Joe Morrell with that terminology Cut seven.
- [41:47]
New York Representative Joe Morrell
But we could have it as long as it is simply to prove that someone is who they say they are. So student ID should be available. Driver's identification should be available. All as we could come up with a bill that does that. And so that. But that's just a red herring. That's not the issue. I think they're trying to distract from it because they don't want people to know that it's giving data to Homeland Security, that it's making it harder to register, that it's making it harder to vote. I call it Jim Crow 2.0. And it is that it makes it more difficult.

The thing that most Americans should be

Joe Bob
able to do so. Well, all Americans should be able to do it, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't verify that those American citizens are able to do it. And if that takes some steps, so be it. That's the process. You have to. You have to enforce rules or else the rules become meaningless. Also, too, the idea. I didn't know this is such a big and prominent point talking point with the libs as well. You should be able to use student IDs. Okay, yeah. Nobody in college knew the guy who printed student IDs. And therefore, as a story that I mentioned before, got a new ID that said I was a senior at the school because seniors got into football games for free. No, nobody has ever thought of that. Um, but then to the biggest, most ridiculous and probably most offensive terminology being used by him, by Senator Schumer, by former President Joe Biden at the time Jim Crow 2.0. So the beating down of black people in the streets is basically the same as having to go like this, here's my id. I should be able to vote the same thing that President Obama did, happily, when he voted in that viral video that shows him showing his id. Those are the same things. I mean, that should be offensive to pretty much everybody because clearly the Jim Crow south, not awesome in a lot of different ways. And yet it gets well belittled by the fact that now they're saying not only is this Jim Crow, remember President Biden said this is Jim Crow on steroids. So it's worse than Jim Crow to simply have to go, here's my id. I'm eligible to vote. You know, interestingly enough. So we've had a lot of conversation about John Fetterman. Senator John Fetterman out of Pennsylvania has become somehow the most likable lib in the Senate. He has been saying what he believes, which apparently is not nearly as crazy as what the guy who ran for the offices. And we've solicited emails and you guys have participated in the discussion of whether or not we think he's being like a cynical politician to try and get reelected. Or if he just, I don't know, checked himself into a mental hospital and all of a sudden was cured of his liberal mental disease. Whatever the case is, I actually just found this out. John Fetterman's polling in Pennsylvania is disastrous. I saw one poll that he's like an 11% approval rating in Pennsylvania. Now granted, uh, those are probably from, you know, lib polling places that are trying to get him out because big national polls don't generally do, you know, non election polling in states like Pennsylvania. But it is interesting to note that he doesn't appear to be doing great with his constituents, which makes me think more that he's actually thinks the things that he's saying, which obviously you want in your politicians. But anyways, enough about John Fetterman. Here he is again, kind of saying the true thing. This is him on Fox News in the wake of the horrible murder by the alleged illegal immigrant. Watch this. Cut eight.
- [45:35]
Senator John Fetterman
Only seven or eight Democrats even voted for, for Lake and Riley. Why can't you just agree that if you're breaking the law and you're already here, here illegally deport them. I just don't understand. And then tragedies, just what happened to that young woman, you know, they are going to continue to happen. It's just that's, that's justice. That's beyond common sense. Why can't you just support this? It's. Why is that unreasonable to anybody?
- [45:59]
Joe Bob
Can you answer that?
- [46:03]
Senator John Fetterman
Yeah, well, I mean, I guess they're afraid of, of the base or people just. That is. I mean, I'm constantly punished. Well, I think it's, I think it's the right thing to vote against shutting down our government. I think it's also entirely appropriate to destroy the Iranian regime. Now that puts me at odds with, with parts of my party, but I'd rather be on the moral clarities or on the kinds of right side of history or the correct kinds of principles.

That man continues to fascinate me. Tptbusa.com if you'd like any send along any thoughts on Senator Fetterman or any of the clips that we got to. But coming up next. What is it? Tuesday. Oh, that means it's time for take back. Take that Tuesday. Tptpc.com is the email address. Don't go away. We'll be right back after the break. Hadley, you know what that is? It's a government training center where they tell you what to say and when you can say. He's driving by a government school, which, by the way, I think we should do a better job of conservatives as calling it government schools instead of public schools because, I mean, that's what it is. If the government is in charge, it's a government school. And I think that gives a worse connotation, especially considering how bad government schools have been. See, I almost did it myself. I almost said public schools have been. Seeing how bad government schools have been, I think they deserve the implication. Not even the implication, the truth that they are related to the government, therefore are bad at what they do, which is supposed to be educate kids. Unfortunately hasn't been the case in a very long time. All right, it is Tuesday and so we are going to lay some hammers down. Uh, actually one of. I'm, I'm not sure how much of this fits in with Take that Take that Tuesday. But I like playing the, the zinger, so it's Take that Tuesday. Take that Tuesday. Like I said, that's my favorite one. So whether or not this fits in to Take that Tuesday remains to be seen. Let us know tptbusa.com either of these clips fit in to Take that Tuesday. First up, take that cnn. CNN has been when President Trump. So catch up very, very quickly over the weekend, President Trump issued an ultimatum. 48 hours or else we're going to destroy all of the Iranian infrastructure that allows them to make money. Obviously you ideally don't want to have to do that because you do want a chance for the Iranian people to up take, take their place and govern themselves and be able to use that infrastructure to make money and join the Western world. But again, that is kind of a different philosophical thought after this. But basically, President Trump issues an ultimatum and then says, hey, actually negotiations are going pretty okay. We're gonna put a five day pause on this ultimatum. The Libs, CNN included, said, well, that that's not actually happening. He just chickened out. Taco Trump always chickens out. Bow, bow, bow. We want Iran to win. We hate America. They didn't say all those things, but they basically said them. Uh, then they had to issue a retraction when they found out that, oh, shoot, there actually are some negotiations happening. This is wolf Blitzer on CNN. Take that, CNN. Take that, Wolf Blitzer. Pound sand. Cut 19 situation room. We're now learning from a senior Iranian source that there has been an outreach between the US And Iran. The source tells CNN that this was initiated by Washington. Oh, looks like they had to issue a retraction. Take that. Woke lib Media coming in next for a kicking and I really am looking for some participation here. TPT tbsa.com if you want to try and figure out what's going on here. This is the governor of California, Governor Gavin Newsom, also affectionately known as Governor Hairspray, among many other things. Many of those nicknames fecal matter related. Governor Hairspray, I don't want to say this definitively, but there have been rumors around the state of California that Governor Newsom sometimes on occasion will participate in the Colombian nose candy. I'll just leave that there. Let us know in this clip what you think is going on here when a very, very fidgety Governor Newsom can't sit still and continually touches his nose. Take that, Governor Newsom. What do you think is going on here? Tptbusa.com cut20.

going on there. Dovey. I'm not sure. Now look, he may just be impatient. He may self diagnose himself with another disease that he's had since childhood. Maybe it's ADHD or Colombian snow candy. Just I'm just curious, not, not making any accusations here. I'm just very, very fidgety, especially compared to the lady on the other side of the attorney General of California. TBT tbc.com is the email address. We'll get to some emails coming up after the break. We'll be right back. Don't go away. Welcome back. I actually am very curious about your emails there going on with Governor Newsom in California. What was going on there? Video tptpsa.com if you have any thoughts or am I just being, you know, overly picky of a guy who just kind of tends to walk around a little bit. But that would also then imply that I have seen, not seen videos of him just standing still, which I clearly have. So let us know. Tptbusa.com I think I was going to tell the story about my live neighbors, but I think unfortunately entirely of my own doing. I've left myself 0 time to do so. So maybe we'll get to that later in the week. Maybe that'll be like, maybe I'll update. Maybe it'll be like Fridays. We'll just update you on the live neighbors because things happen almost on a daily basis and they're very, very funny. So maybe that'll be the tease for Friday's last segment of the show. Maybe, maybe we'll even do a zinger to it. That'll be fun. All right, let's see. Paul writes stupid. TPC.com is the email address. He agrees. Atlanta airport is busy. That I heard you on the slow moving Atlanta Airport. Chicago o' Hare is just as bad. He was just there. It should be appropriately named. Okay, there's the joke. Chicago o' Hare should be named Chicago O Tortoise. I get it. The classic children's nursery rhyme, the tortoise in the hair. Good one, Paul. Mark says this. He tried screaming as they do in scream clubs in the email he says, oh gosh, exclamation boys. This is all in capital letters by the way, I'm screaming. And then follows up with now he has a headache. So sorry for that Mark, but I appreciate your screaming email. If only it was a little more vulgar would fit in correctly here. Amy does have some, some actually good insight to put here. And you know, as is often the case, we got to clarify some of the broad statements that sometimes I make. Not backtrack but clarify. She says sexual abuse victims at experimental week long therapies may go through scream sessions to release pent up or forgotten inst of abuse. It is a thing in codependency recovery. She says she's, she loves the show but wanted to throw that piece of information. That's good, that's good insight. Amy and I also don't disagree. I think that actually works. One of the first, I guess official dates I had with my wife, she had a rough day. We met in college. She had a rough day to a bunch of her classes and I went to the 99 cent store and bought like five watermelons and had a baseball bat and we went in the field and smashed them watermelons. I totally like physical release of I don't know, whatever. Pent up anything is is a real thing. Where I draw the line is joining a club. If you join a club to sit there and scream. That is not some sort of therapeutic hey, I gotta get this out. That is a problem. And also too generally speaking, the President of the United States shouldn't cause that. That much trauma that needs to be released. Uh, last one for today. Shelley says this wants to correct Senator Hirano's iq. I said it was room temperature equivalent. Shelley wants to issue a correction. She says you actually need to be corrected, Senator Harano, as the IQ of a jar of mayonnaise. All right, that's all the time we have for tbt@TVC.com is the email address. We will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God bless America.
