ReMax the experts close to home. Each office independently owned and operated. What do these strikes on Iran say about our most formidable enemies being China and also Russia? Well, actually quite a bit. And at the very least, the war with Iran shows us exactly who it appears we're dealing with on the world stage. Also, Governor Newsom takes on and dismantles Governor Newsom on a very friendly TV interview. Also, new polling out to show where Americans are on illegal immigration. The numbers, especially after the last year, may actually shock you. All that and more coming up. My name is Joe. Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. If you have a best friend and you're out on the town and you happen to get into an altercation and that best friend doesn't have your back and instead says peace out dude, I'm out. Is that really a best friend? Is it really even a friend at all? But actually is kinda, it's an example of the relationship that some of our worst enemies have, I think with each other. At the very least, what the Iranian war is doing is showing us what our enemies are capable of. And turns out it might not be much, which is great for us. But before we get into that deep dive, tptpusa.com is the email address. We actually got an email the other day asking how fast I think I can say tptp USA.com actually that might have been it. Whatever the calcium markets say around that fast, whatever some somebody time that and let me know. Tptpsa.com is the email address. And remember, if your emails are disgusting, vile, bigoted in all nature, we actually have a better chance of reading it on the show because that's exactly the type of thing that we go for around here, or at least that's what we've been called. So TPTP USA.com is that email address. I love to hear your thoughts about all of the things going on. Even if we don't talk about it specifically on this show like today, we're probably not going to get too much of what's going on at DHS. But if you have opinions, tptp USA.com especially if you have opinions on how this global network of enemies and alliances is working out that we're about to discuss right now. TPT@tpusa.com to Iran. Iran's partnership with China and also Russia has been known as an access of convenience. People who are not friendly to that alliance sometimes call it an access of evil, which is accurate. Sometimes I even call it an access of a holes. But the whole access that they have between Iran, China and Russia is built on this shared anti US interest. But it's actually not really as much of an alliance as people might think. The commitments aren't really that committing the relationship honestly on paper with all of the treaties that have been signed, it looks impressive. But repeatedly, over and over and over again, it shows a lot of hard limits to when there's actual real crisis, when the poo hits the fan. And how does that compare to the US and our allies, especially with regards to readiness and capability. And before we actually get into all of that on the topic of readiness and capability, I have to show you a brief example of our actual real life capability. This is a video a couple days ago of the US sinking an Iranian ship with a torpedo, which is something we haven't done since World War II. And honest to God, this might be the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Cut 11. An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II. Like in that war back when we were still the War Department. We are fighting to win. Yes. Does anybody else have just that like internal. Hell yeah. Like as far as capability goes, that video at the very, very least at least says we still got it. But exactly what are we up against on the global stage as it relates to Iran and the access of a hol, its Chinese relationship, its Russian relationship, all of the three in relationship with each other. What have we learned with the attack on Iran about our biggest enemies? Actually quite a lot. See, Iran looks east as its strategy leans on long term deals that I guess on paper signal durability. In January of 2025, Iran and Russia signed a 20 year comprehensive strategic Partnership Treaty. In other words, it's a I got your back bro. But do they really? Putin is obviously in Ukraine and he's trying to deal with a bunch of sanctions. And Iran is according to this treaty going to help supply him throughout any of his acts of conquest. But what's interesting is the Russia deal with Iran and highlights a lacking mutual defense clause which limits what Iran can expect realistically from their partner and friend Russia, especially during wartime. Also regards to China, Iran formalized a 25 year agreement with the Chinese government in 2021. The China agreement is described as involving up to 400 billion in investment, which obviously is concentrated a lot in oil and infrastructure. So Tehran, Moscow and Beijing have all tried to project this united anti United States front. Except for in January of this year, the three countries not. Except in January of this year the three countries signed a trilateral strategic pact where Iran sought advanced weapons systems and systems to modern, modernize and deter their air defenses. Russia is cited as supplying S400 air defenses and Su35 fighters to Iran. China is cited as providing HQB9B missiles and BAD LAO3 navigation technology. I don't think I'm pronouncing that correct at all, but who cares? Now why would the top leaders be meeting above ground in Iran if they have all of these brand new weapon systems? Because remember they've signed trilateral agreements, they've signed agreements with Russia and China to basically get all of the weapons they need to self guard themselves. So there you have it. That's why the Iranian leaders were meeting above ground on February 28. They thought it was safe. They have all of these defensives. The problem is none of it worked. Over the last week the Chinese HQ9B and Russian S300 tour systems completely crumbled against US F35 strikes and long range anti ship missiles. Zero intercepts were reported. And the entire system really that Iran had purchased from both China and Russia was entirely unstable under the electronic warfare that the United States was putting against them. There were failures in detection, interrogation and the reliability of these devices were massively exposed. In other words, they didn't work. Which is interestingly enough the second time this has happened in Iran. Remember in June, Operation Midnight Hammer took out the Fordo and a bunch of other installations in Iran. And guess what? The systems that they bought from Russia and China didn't work then either. Also, this is the second time this happened this year. Earlier this year, obviously you remember the raid on Venezuela where Chinese JW27A radars and Russian S300s1 systems failed entirely to detect US forces during Maduro's capture. The because remember, as a part of this access of a holes, Venezuela is also included, but also kind of like a tiny little kid brother. But they had Chinese resources too. They had Chinese military technology and equipment that also didn't work. Experts who have commented about this have cited inactivity, mainly incompetence and deliberate neglect from the Chinese and the Russians. During the Venezuela raid, US delta forces faced almost no major resistance from Beijing and from Moscow, these supposed allies. In regards to the race for dominance between the United States and China, it really is showing that, well, China's not doing a great job. Yes. Are they a massive Economy? Yes. Are they a big country Full of what, 1.3 billion people? Yeah. And are they willing to do things that the United States won't? Yes. But are all those things even possible? In other words, are they competent? China deals arms to its quote, unquote allies that just don't work in exchange for military influence. Their military sales from 2010 to 2014 equaled $15 billion. But the problem was there's a ton of, of quality issues. They offer no mutual defense and their belt and road initiative, which if you don't know what that is, it's basically them giving money for infrastructure projects around the world in trading for influence. It's riddled with debt and they still have influence control over the infrastructure for the countries that they gave that money to. On the other hand, the United States has treaties and alliances and just generally things that are based on actual value. If the United States says something more than likely, we will follow through on that promise. We have reliable free trade, which has led to innovation in leadership and also military supplies. The United States sales wise does almost six times the amount of military sales as China. And also our stuff has been proven in combat by us. So outside what you think about the war with Iran, what this also is, is a stress test for our biggest adversaries. And that stress test revealed what the relationship is actually worth between Iran, China and Russia when shots are actually fired. Despite the rhetoric of no limits, we will defend our friends at any cost. Russia and China have offered zero actual material military aid to Iran even though they've been hit by the United States of America, China's biggest enemy on the world stage. Instead, China and Russia have offered very stern verbal condemnations of the strike, which is basically like a, I don't know, a communist version of what the UN would do. But we're not talking about the UN right now. Their support has been framed around this transactional self serving. Here's what, we're all gonna benefit from this when in reality it's not actually protective and it's really not actually productive. Each partner, by the way, has had their own excuse to avoid a deeper entanglement. Russia obviously is going the war going on in Ukraine and say, well this is, this would reduce our capacity if we wanted to add another fight, which, which actually is a real reason. It's, you know, self inflicted, but it is a real reason. China on the other hand, has portrayed themselves as, hey, look, I know we're buddies Iran, but we can't really have your back on this one. Now a lot of Us think it's because well they can't just tangibly, but they say well we're prioritizing economic stability and we, we fear an economic fallout if this escalates anymore. Now supposedly between the access of a holes, military coordination does exist, but it may be more signaling when they don't actually come to anyone's aid during war fighting. On top of that, all of that there is the component of experience. The last time China was in a real military conflict was in 1979 during the invasion of Vietnam, which many categorize as a disastrous, disastrous punitive campaign which, which honestly exposed China's People's Liberation army for a bunch of the weaknesses that it has. It's kind of like what's happening today. Now since then they haven't really had any full scale conflicts. There's been minor skirmishes uh, in India, some even in Russia. But really it shows limited experience compared to the United States, especially the United States post 911 which we've had lots of military operations since then. The inexperience questions China's actual ability in modern warfare. And that matters, right? Like on a, on a practical basis, look no further than Taiwan. The entire world knows China wants Taiwan. We also know that the entire world, the US specifically is also extremely reliant on Taiwan's semi chip conductor manufacturing. But the microchips, the question is, are they enough for the United States to fight a war with China over Taiwan? Now the question is, I actually don't know. I mean if you're asking it to aoc, the question is, I mean the official position of the United States is strategic ambiguity. But further than that, I don't know. What do the people of the United States say? Are we willing to go to war with China over Taiwan? But interestingly enough, what the Iranian attack shows is that maybe we don't have to. It is possible that all of the exposure in the weakness of China's military capabilities and technology, evidenced by a ton of military failures in Iran, in Venezuela, might deter them entirely from invading Taiwan in the first place. At least you know, in the near future. Because obviously that's everybody's concern. If China moves on Taiwan in the next year, what do we do? And that is a very, very pressing question. But what this may have done is shown China that eh, maybe we're not even ready. And we also don't want to find out if the United States is going to come to the aid of Taiwan. Whether or not, you know, you support the war in Iran or the direction this has given us A ton of great, great insight into our biggest adversaries, which will have global implications and will likely set up the United States for massive success on the world stage. Now, last thing, if you want to talk about democracy, despite the fact that libs keep calling President Trump a dictator and a tyrant, he's not. But the countries that we've been talking about, Iran, China and Russia, do have dictators. It's not a small note and it's actually very interesting to show that it seems like actual authoritarian dictatorship doesn't exactly work. It can look formidable, it can look big and tough and powerful and strong, but tends to fracture pretty, pretty deeply under real pressure, again evidenced by, by the last couple months. But democracy and the freedom that has been built in the United States of America I think clearly has proven to be much more reliable and battle tested overall. Like I've said a number of times, you can have your own opinions on Iran, you can have your own opinions on President Trump. Polling shows that most conservatives support President Trump and what he's doing in Iran. But at the very, very least, we can all accept the fact that this is great information, fantastic intel into what China's capabilities are. Unfortunately, whether you'd like to admit it or not, the idea of the Thucidian trap, where the two biggest superpowers almost always go to war with each other, is probably likely at some point in the future. But what it shows now is that China seems to be very far away from that being a realistic scenario which would be good for the rest of the world. It is great to know all of these things about our biggest adversary, regardless of what you think about the actual war itself. If you have any Thoughts on this, TPTP USA.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along. Uh, I don't know, what do you think we've learned about China or even Russia and their capabilities? I can, like I said, happen to think that it's a good thing that we now know, oh, all of this stuff, it doesn't work. And also remember, the rest of the world sees that too. All of these other countries that China is trying to get buddy buddy with are looking at all of the Chinese technology that they sold them as well, going, oh shoot, maybe we should buy some American tech and maybe we should be allies with the greatest country in the world instead of one of the most oppressive. So tbt.com is that email address. We're going to switch the order of the show around a little bit. Usually we have Tribunal Thursday, Justice Thursday, as it's called later on in the show, but today's I thought was just too delicious in in which the the prosecutor of the case is also the defendant. You'll see what I mean after the break. TPTPUSA.com is the email address. We'll be right back after this.

Kristen Davis
She was very it was like the height of Alanis time and she was with this beautiful man and I had a golden retriever puppy and the beautiful man wanted to say hi to the golden retriever puppy. We were eating at that little cafe there at the Santa Veronica one and and Alanis hung back in a way that made me wonder what was happening. Like who wouldn't want to pet this beautiful puppy. I was like oh my God it's Alanis. And then I was like try to breathe, try to breathe, try to breathe because I love her so much. My new episode is out now presented by the all new Hyundai Palisade hybrid Make every day Epic.

Who knows? I mean, just like everyone else was born that way. So, like, Lady Gaga says, we're born this way. Do you think that's a transphobic statement, like, to people who think they were born in the wrong body? I don't. That's actually, that's a question. Windows error. But that's a very good question. I, you know, I was born this way. Oh, okay. So now we give credit to the way people are born. Good to know, Libs. All right. Hey. This is one of my favorite weekly traditions. It is time for me to act as judge, jury, and executioner in what has been known to be called Tribunal Thursday or Justice Thursday. Thursday.
- [24:47]
Podcast Sponsor/Announcer
Tribunal
- [24:51]
Joe Bob
Justice Thursday. It's fantastic. I, I, this is, I am such a proponent of me being the judge of all things. Just on a practical, you know, U.S. level, not, you know, theological level. Just talking about, like, I would love to be the arbiter of all things that go on in the United States of America. I think that intro sets me up to do so. Anyways, on trial today is the governor of California in some statements that he made on one Jaime Kimmel's show. I believe it's also Jimmy Kimmel, but considering everything is supposed to be Spanish now, we will, we'll call him Jaime for short. The governor of the poopiest state in the nation appeared on the for some reason not canceled talk show to talk about California. Now, he said some pretty interesting things regarding why people dislike California so much in this clip. But the evidence against what he's saying also, interestingly enough, prepared by himself, this will all make sense in just a second. Let's start it off with this first clip. Cut 12. This is Governor Newsom saying why it actually is that people joke about California so much. Sometimes I hear people talking about California
- [26:15]
Guest/Commentator
and I wonder, like, where are they getting this?
- [26:18]
Joe Bob
Where are they getting this?
- [26:19]
Guest/Commentator
Well, a Fox derangement. I mean, it's 24 7, the California Derangement Syndrome. It's through these propaganda networks focusing on what's wrong every single day. And there's an old adage, you're nothing
- [26:29]
Joe Bob
more than your consistent thoughts.
- [26:30]
Guest/Commentator
Whatever you focus on, you find more of. And these networks have really honed in on California for one reason. Our success runs completely contra to their entire worldview.
- [26:42]
Joe Bob
You know, there's also another reason, Governor Newsom, why people seem to be fixated on something. It's because it's tragically broken. This is like someone Saying, hey, you need to replace your tires on your car. And then the driver of the car saying, why are you so fixated on the tires of my car? This is nothing more than tire propaganda. And then you, the observer, go, no, all four flat tires are flat. You're gonna crash. This is very dangerous situation for everybody. The reason that we're fixated on this is because it's a rolling train wreck that everybody sees. It's not the idea. Oh, they're just. It's California Derangement Syndrome. Well, that. That comes from somewhere, Gavi. It comes from the fact that, you know, you can't walk down many of the major city streets without having to avoid human poop or worse, drug needles. There's a reason for all of that. But what's super interesting, especially in this particular segment with 1 Jaime Kimmel, Governor Newsom actually made the case against himself by way of a second. Governor Newsom. I thought this was fascinating. Of course, I can go into a big, long diatribe about everything that Gavin Newsom said was ridiculous, but why would I if I don't have to? Let's leave it to the man himself. This little sketch happened almost immediately after that interaction with Jimmy Kimmel in which Jimmy Kimmel brought his own version of Governor Newsom to talk trash about Governor Newsom as he sits right there. I kid you not. If you haven't seen this, this is fucking, freaking hilarious. During this entire segment. It's. It's a little bit long, but it's worth every single second. Watch the real Governor Newsom's face and how uncomfortable he is at all of the things that are actually happening in California being thrown right back into his face disguised as comedy. And actually, it is pretty funny. Anyways, I'll stop talking about it. But making the case for the prosecution in today's Thursday Justice Tribunal is the governor himself. Cut 13. I am so psyched to be here for a Newsom twosome. I mean, I just came from a ribbon cutting session. A shelter for non binary Chihuahuas. Uh huh. I don't mean. I'm sorry to interrupt, but where's the trophy? All right, all right. Guillermo, ayuda me, por favor.

Gov Gav, for your tireless work in uniting the people of Cali, from the meth dealers of Riverside to the shapely Armenians of the Glendale Galleria, from chakra doulas and yoga thems to farmer's market furries and rollerbladers with. With gluten sensitivities. I, Governor Gavin D. Newsom, in association with the wounded Waymos project and the three remaining original members of Incubus, present to you, Governor Gavin C. Newsom, with the 2026 FIFA, Skydance, Paramount, Netflix, Warner Bros. Big ass Lipton Cup o Peace. Plated with platinum that was ethically sourced from all my expired AMEX cards.

Guest/Commentator
Oh, paper straw.
- [30:37]
Joe Bob
I don't know that I could have prosecuted this case better than that. I mean, let's go through the things that Gavin himself hit. Gavin on one, the meth addicted people in Riverside, which is a little known California city, but yeah, there's meth heads all over the place in the nation's poopiest state, which is why it's the nation's poopiest state. Then he talks about all the weirdos, the yoga they's and the farmer's market furries, which may sound funny in California, but trust me, to the rest of the country, they're going, yeah, that joke hits a little bit too close to home. Then talks about all of Governor Newsom's possibly corrupt sponsors of this trophy. Then hits Governor Newsom on his wealth. Mike, Mike. Expired AMEX cards. Because remember, Governor Newsom ascended to political greatness the correct way by having a rich family and just keeps going. It hits him on the wine stuff. Governor Newsom also allegedly has a problem with alcohol, which, you know, that's, that's unfortunate. Don't want to see that happen to somebody. But he has said, I've had to go to rehab a couple times, even though there's no proof that he actually ever went. I don't know if that was for the alcoholism or for the cheating on his wife. I'm not entirely sure. But he said he's had to go to rehab, but never actually proved that he did go to rehab. And then last but not least, tying it up with, oh, here's a paper straw. Every single component of that was perfect. I could not have prosecuted that case any better. So I will now act as my duty as jury in which we find. Well, what's the charge? Idiocy. Uh, the jury finds that the defendant, Governor Gavin Newsom, is guilty of idiocy. And also as the judge, I will issue the sentence, which I feel like banishment has been the, the normal Thing. Um, but no, I'm actually going to go a little bit less here. But I do think this will hit him hard at home. I sentence Governor Newsom to a lifetime of no longer being able to use hairspray. I think that'll. I think. I think that is just and fair. And I don't think Governor Hairspray, Sorry, Governor Poopy State, sorry, Governor Newsom will be able to tolerate that sort of punishment, which I think is just. So that's it. That is our Thursday tribunal. I have ruled, I have spoken, and that is the outcome of what I believe is a culture crime and prosecuted by the governor himself. Fantastic. That was a fun one. TPT if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, email us. TPTP if your email is disgusting, gross, violent, bigoted, we actually might read it here on the show. Coming up, we're going to get to the points all around the news media world right after the break. Don't go away.
- [33:38]
Guest/Commentator
I don't believe that government has a role whatsoever in doing. In getting rid of inequality. See, the point that you have to recognize is that there's no tooth fairy or Santa Claus giving the congressman the money. So the only way the government can give one American citizen $1 is through first, through intimidation, threats and coercion. Confiscate that dollar from some other American. Now, you should not confuse my disagreeing with the redistribution with my saying, well, you shouldn't take care of people who are in need. I believe in helping your fellow man by reaching into your own pockets to help your fellow man is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into somebody else's pockets to help your fellow man in need is despicable. And for the Christians among us, when God gave Moses the commandment, thou shall not steal, he did not mean thou shall not steal unless you got a majority vote in Congress. Wow.
- [34:34]
Joe Bob
No further commentary. Holy cow, what was that guy's name? I. Let me. Hold on. I've got it right in front of me. Walter Williams is his name. It's a perfect example. You don't get to sound or be actually charitable with other people's money. That's not how it works. That's what the government is. Right? That's. The whole thing is like, well, you're not standing up for health care for meth heads. Like, yeah, because I have to pay for it. And I'm happy to do it in a way that's gonna be effective and efficient, if that's possible, mostly through private charity and donation. But what I know the government will do is well, nothing. They'll waste it. And you don't get to be generous with my money because you have a majority in Congress. Wow. Freaking awesome. All right, hey, lots of stuff going on around the world. News of the day. Let's time the. Let's time. It's time. Let's get to the point. Get to the point, get to the point. All right, first one up. 51. 57%. This is from Breitbart. 50%. 57% of Americans want all illegal immigrants. I say immigrants because migrant is like, somebody who moves from, like, Nevada to Utah. That. That's a migrant. Somebody who crosses national borders. That's an immigrant. Not sure why Breitbart doesn't use that term, but anyways, 57% of Americans want all illegal immigrants sent home. Now, the reason why I think that's super interesting is because, well, one, that number was a bunch higher during the election. That's when Joe Biden had just a porous border and anybody could come through. And President Trump said, no, get them all out of here. It was something like 85% of Americans said, no. All of them got to go. And whether or not that was practical was kind of irrelevant. It was really a sentiment of where the country was. The majority of the country said, absolutely not. This is. This is horrible. They need to go. Now, what's fascinating about this is that numbers effectively held. Like, is it the 80%? No, but that was really just signaling. What it really is, is a pretty solid majority. A Harvard Harris poll conducted Feb. 26, 28th, among 2,000 registered voters found that 57% of Americans support sending all illegal immigrants home, which was almost 80% of Republicans and almost 54% of independents, 35% of Democrats. But they're.

They're crazy. The support. The poll also showed that 63% of all the respondents, which is both. All parties, both parties, including independents, were in favor of proposed law barring commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Now, why that number is so low is beyond me. Who. Who are the 27. 37% of people who think that that's a good idea, but at least it's. It's also still a pretty solid majority. 55% also oppose hiring, uh, and it also oppose hiring an additional 20,000 Border Patrol agents, which is fascinating to me. I don't. I don't quite understand how that number gets there. I don't know why there's a pretty overwhelming majority on. Hey, we gotta get rid of them. But also. And. But we don't need any more help to do so. Speaking of dhs, it's not in our points today, but some shakeups going on. Um, here's all I'll say about that. Mark Wayne Mullen, the new proposed secretary of dhs. I am a big proponent of two named men, being one myself, rising to Providence in modern culture or governance of. Anyway, so Mark Wayne, from a guy named Joe Bob, best of luck going forward. All right, next point. The this is from cnn. The soulless hotel conference space approval for Trump's East Wing ballroom delayed amid scathing public feedback. This is what I think is fascinating to me. I don't know what soulless means. Now, obviously, President Trump is trying to build the big new ballroom, which looks fantastic. And he's like the fourth president in a row to be like, hey, why? Why is there no big event space at the White House like Obama wanted to do it didn't end up doing it. President Trump is now doing it. Now it's just this big, huge, crazy space. No, no. For some reason. But what's fascinating about this to me is the idea of the architecture here. The planning commission apparently doesn't like or is delaying postponing. Postponing the vote after a bunch of people have strongly opposed the design of it. But of, of all of the things. Yeah, I guess oppose. I don't think it makes sense, but oppose it. If you don't like President Trump, but, like, hit the design. Oh, this is a soulless building. If President Trump does anything, it, it's make things nicer. Like, if you've ever been to Mar a Lago, there's, there's a lot of, like, craftsmanship built into the ballroom there. To call it soulless is kind of ironic because the people that like the new kind of, I don't know, brutalist, four walls and a ceiling architecture that, to me is soulless. President Trump as a real estate developer has made lots of objectively beautiful things. And I would imagine that this ballroom would fall into that category. Knocking it on the architecture or the look of it seems ridiculous and odd. But regardless, the National Planning Capital Planning Commission has postponed the a vote of approving the proposed project for the East Ballroom with outrage. Honestly, all this will get sorted out. I'm not really too concerned about it. I think President Trump will ultimately, at the end of the day, getting the thing that he and many other presidents before him have wanted was it was the White House. TBT tbsa.com if you remember this, was the White House renovation considered racist? Because I think I think everything has been. And I think somebody said, well, this is racist because it's not, you know, whatever. I don't know. That doesn't matter. Anyways. TBT tbset.com if you have any thoughts on this next, this is from newsmag. This actually is really going to be interesting. And this is kind of one of those. We're all going to find out together whether or not one, this is effective, two, if it works, which I guess is the same thing, but the White House is mulling ideas to lower gas prices amid the Iran conflict. President Donald Trump's White House chief chief of staff, Susie Wiles has instructed administration officials to develop proposals aimed at reducing gasoline prices in response to market volatility. With the attack against Iran, that actually is going to be something pretty interesting to consider. The White House is considering options like federal gasoline tax holidays, which that doesn't need to be temporary. We can just make that permanent. I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind if it were permanent is all I'm saying. But that's, it is going to be interesting to see how the White House combats this. I maintain, I mean personally, TBT TV said calm. If you disagree that the strikes on Iran were necessary and at the same time it appears that there will be some ramifications to it. And how the administration deals with that is going to be interesting. All right, next point here, moving through these kind of quickly because you got a limited amount of time. Dozens of medical schools are backing. This is from the New York Times. The New York Times, by the way, not a right wing conservative news outlet. The dozens of medical schools back the Kennedy plan on nutrition after pressure. 50 medical schools back the Kennedy plan on nutrition under pressure from the White House or the White House, sorry, the health secretary. More than 50 US schools have committed to revamping their criteria. Uh, so the New York Times is obviously couching this in a way that sounds, well, this is so bad. This is pressure from the administration. But I think really deep down inside what the schools that are going to back this need is cover from the media. I, I just, I, not to be like super conspiratorial. I guarantee you there's back channels going on here with these schools and the New York Times saying, hey, look, some of these ideas are actually pretty good and we would like to adopt them, but we don't want to see this as a win for the Trump White House. So can you say that they were pressuring us because we still want to adopt it, but it looks better, you know, to our lib bona fides if they're pressuring us. Can you, can you go ahead and say that, that that's what this feels like to me. But overall, this would be fascinating to see if the majority of schools ultimately, I mean, obviously more than 50 is a lot, but the majority would be great to get that curriculum across the board and make America healthy and eat real food is what the goal of that is. Moving along in the last couple seconds here of getting to the point. Britney Spears arrested in Southern California on suspicion of a dui. You know, I wanted to include this in here mostly to set up a bigger conversation that we clearly don't have time to get to. But I'd love to hear your thoughts to TPTP USA.com about the idea of conservatorship. Britney Spears, 44 years old, arrested by California Highway Patrol in Southern California last night around 9:30pm with her vehicle towed, according to Ventura county jail records. Believed to be charged with a. Sorry, the specifics of the charge were not listed publicly, but I think everybody, including tmz, is reporting that is a DUI arrest. And the discussion that is really interesting that should be had is this idea of conservatorship. She obviously was released from her conservatorship a while ago. I, as a conservative, am very skeptical about the governor government issuing conservatorships. But at the same time, you got somebody as volatile as Britney Spears had, the case could be made as to why that's necessary. Bigger discussion. Don't have time to get into all of it right here, right now, But I wanted to bring that on, solicit some thoughts. Tptpsa.com all right, got to all of the points. Up next, we're going to talk official business and we're not going to have time for a ton of it, but if you'd like to send your emails. Tptpca.com Coming up next, official business. Don't go away. In this campaign, we have built a

Joe Bob
Eric, what's up, man? It's Ian. Hey, Ian, what's up? Look, we've got to come together now to make life more affordable in this state. There are too many pressing problems and we need a new generation of leadership ready to govern on day one.

Podcast Sponsor/Announcer
So what do you say we do it together?

Joe Bob
I want to endorse you for governor of California.

Let's get it done.

Joe Bob
Ian, I'm so honored. Thank you. Welcome to the team. Team, let's do this. I wish all of you could see producer Glenn's face. This is the first time he's seeing that video. And it is objectively the worst campaign video that I think has ever been put out. I mean, Congressman Swalwell, who's running for governor of California is like notorious for these like horribly cringy videos. He's walking down the hall. Oh, hey, didn't see you there. Oh, really? You didn't see the camera crew that's following you around that works for you? Didn't see that. Oh, let me take this FaceTime call. Hey, it's time to come together. Who does that work for? That is the lamest possible. I actually, let me rephrase this. I am pro him putting out content like that because of how ridiculous and stupid it is. That talk about turning voters away. What a freaking lame video to post. And if that works on people, and if that works on the majority of people, eh, we've lost already. The. The culture is already gone. It is. What's. What's the point fighting anymore? Because that is the lamest possible video I think I can see in a while. All right, let's see. Where are we at? Oh, official business. It is time for official business. All right. As has been done each and every day, the official capacity of our legislators, elected officials and bureaucrats means that anything they say is official business. First up in official business we have Senator Federman, who I did. I can't get a read on this guy, man. Like I. During the campaign when he was running, I think me, you and everybody freaking hated this dude cuz he was a communist. And then he gets into office and I've said this on the show before, he has some sort of mental break after his stroke, goes into a mental hospital, comes out and starts being like super based. Like what is going on there? Anyways, here's a very short clip of him in official business talking about agreeing with the things that we talk about.

It's cut six top 55 of them were killed. And I think they just blew up 80 of the randoms moolahs too, which, I mean, that was pretty great actually.

Joe Bob
So, all right, administration officials concluded to. And how funny is it that Lindsey Graham comes up after him? Like it blew up a bunch of the moonlights, which is pretty great. Yeah, dude. TBTBSA.com Some people think that what he's doing is like this big act to get reelected. He doesn't have a reelection campaign for like another four years, I think. Or it's not for a While so I, I, dude, I don't know what's going on here. Maybe he like, genuinely is one of those libs that were like, all right, we could tolerate you. You're not, you know, wo crazy person, even though that's how you campaigned. It's super interesting. You see so many libs campaigning as like, we're moderate centrists. And then they get into office and they go freaking looney tunes like Spanberger or, or, and really anybody who won in the recent elections. Oh, we're a moderate coming together as soon as they get into office. All right, woke patrol, let's go. Fetterman is like the opposite of that. He won as a freaking socialist and is now, like coming back as like a, a normal guy. Um, all right, this tbt TP said I'm. If you disagree, I, I happen to like Fetterman at the moment. You know, could go other ways. But tptbc.com if you think it's all an actual. All right, let's get into some walls scorching. Within a little time we have. This is Representative Pat Fallon on Tampon Tim Walls just in the fraught. Watch this.

The facts are your leadership and really your lack of leadership is. Laura has been responsible for one of the largest rip offs of the American taxpayer in our history. And you traded, I believe, political, political expediency, the currency of political expediency for your integrity. And you know, Mr. Chairman, I don't know if you know this, but it's widely, it's been widely reported that in 2008, when Barack Obama was choosing his vice presidential candidate, he had three criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn't as smart as him and had less talent and charisma and couldn't possibly, possibly outshine him. So he picked Joe Biden. And then Joe Biden in 2020 used the exact same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody wasn't as smart as him, had less talent, charisma, and wouldn't outshine him. And he picked Kamala her. And then in 2024, Governor, I think it's very evident why Kamala Harris picked you. The talent pool, Mr. Chairman. The talent pool in Dechallo, brother, we have hit the shore. And I yield back.

It's hilarious that Tampon Tim laughs at that clearly true statement. That was fantastic. That'll wrap up this edition of Official Business. We'll be right back after the break. For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own words. Whiteness, my own Masculinity, my own certainty, my own ego. It's a never ending process and it's a painful process. We have too much to get to in Mailbag. I think I'll just say this. I don't know if that's Jesus, that you're hearing the voices in your head and might be a sign of some severe mental disability. I don't think it's Jesus. All right, let's see. Mailbag, tptpsa.com if you'd like to be included in Mailbag. You know, the emails today were yesterday, over the last several days. Not as, you know, vile and nasty as I used to. So step up the game, guys. Just kidding. Dean, on the topic of gas prices says this, I was wondering why gas prices have jumped up 45 cents since Sunday. I thought we were only supposed to be getting 20% of our oil from Iran. I remember back in the day when there was gas shortages. I'll summarize here. Basically asking what's happening? I thought we were only supposed to be getting, you know, fifth of our oil from Iran or the Middle East. Yes. So both of those things can be true at the same time. You can have a very limited amount from a specific area, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the country is also participating in that very limited amount. So when a big amount of the commodity that that country is selling, like Iran in this instance, goes dark. Right. Doesn't that means all of the other countries that were buying much bigger quantities from them are also deprived of oil? Which means all of the other countries outside of Iran who can sell oil, which is us included, are going to send their supplies to those other countries that have been deprived. Meaning that basically the supply and demand curve is what is applying here. That's why I think the White House is trying to figure out how to kind of blunt the rise in gas prices. Because strictly from a supply and demand point, regardless of how much we're supposed to be getting from Iran, it's going to affect the entire global market. So there's that. Thanks for the email, Pete. On the topic of Jasmine Crockett's accent says Joe up today. Well, Jasmine Crockett was talking about her loss. Did you notice the absence of her ghetto speech and attitude? Yes, Pete, that's I think, because she's having to get a real job. Now, as funny as it is, remember, conservatives convinced her to run or tricked her to run for Senate knowing that she would lose, but also knowing that in order to run for Senate in the state of Texas, she had to relinquish her her seat in Congress. So in other words, she's jobless now. And I think the lack of accent that you're pointing to might be because she's going to have to interview for real jobs. And I don't know if I think, I think sounding more professional is going to be beneficial to her job hunt. Let's see. Dang it. I really want to. Maybe we'll get to this tomorrow. Producer Glenn looked up the question quote that Jeffrey was looking in at. I want to give this a little bit more time so we won't get to it today. We'll, we'll, we'll wrap it up with this. And you know, I'm not trying to be self aggrandizing here, but Ron says, love Joe Bob's dark humor. I don't know what you're talking about. Run. Everything I say is completely 100% serious. Not satirical at all. Says he watches every weeknight. Loves it, especially when it gets dark. Again. Ron, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. Nothing I've ever said is a joke. Everything is 100% serious. No sarcasm, no satire here on this show. Thanks for emails. TPT@tbsa.com. we will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God bless America.
