Also, libs are making it abundantly clear what they're going to do one when and if they regain power. North Korea seems to be increasingly a perfect example as to why we can't let Iran get a nuclear weapon. And for the first time ever, a foreigner booted in Minneapolis. All that more coming up on this episode of the show. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. Just wanted to briefly check in with producer Glenn while that intro clip was playing that Are we sure the California diaper scandal has nothing to do with the homeless people? No. Okay, entirely different thing. But California set to spend tens of millions of dollars on diapers. Are they overpaying? If you're familiar with that story, it actually goes a little bit further than where everybody else has stopped. We'd hope to get you at least that information, albeit not necessarily a conclusion if there is any. But before we get to that, TPT tpusa.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, your concerns or your criticisms. Also, know that on any social media platform that you happen to be watching this on, you can leave a comment on any of the videos that we post clips of the show. And if that comment or that email tptbusa.com is gross file, disgusting, downright bigoted and nasty with we actually have a better chance of reading it here on the show because that's the very type of thing that we do here and the type of thing that we promote.

We will come up yes, it is an odd, peculiar name, but it does make searching it quite easy. Jobob Jo B O B All right, the California diaper scandal, which has nothing to do with the poop on the streets that has befallen the formerly golden state of California, the now browner state of California actually has more to do with the state's new Initiative of giving free diapers to poor people. Or at least that's what they're saying it is. Governor Newsom put a video on social media and then did a press conference where he outlined the state's new plan to issue diapers to people in need. Because that's what California needs to be fixed, cut free. You know exactly what I'm holding in my hand.

one of the real cost challenges they face, the affordability of diapers.

Joe Bob
California set to put out 40 million diapers over the course of this program and in the course of the Golden State Start initiative on Friday. Apparently this is what Governor Newsom thought was appropriate. Uh, this is graphic one in with all of the turmoil, what is absolutely necessary in the great state of Poopa for you? Sorry, California Governor Hairspray, Sorry. Governor Newsom thinks handing diapers to people will fix all of the problems. Now that may be a little bit of an unfair argument, but that's pretty much the premise here. With all of the things befalling Californians, the only thing that we won't do to try out is just cut taxes. No, no. Free diapers it is, is the next thing. But the question is, and the question that a lot of people on the right have been asking is was this money being put to good use? Now, in case you're unfamiliar with the story, let's recap the numbers speculation that has been going around social media over the weekend since this program was announced. The California taxpayer is on the hook for $7.4 million of taxpayer money in 2025-2026. Also seeking an additional $12.5 million in the coming year. From the the governor's press release as a whole, for the first year of the program, the California Golden State Start initiative will prioritize hospitals that serve large number of medical patients so that low income families can benefit from the program earlier with the plan with plans to scale across additional hospitals and birthing center centers over time. In other words, we're going to discriminate against people based on their income. So there's that. Now here's the big problem that several people who are, I was going to say good at math, but this really isn't. This sort of a math whiz question is, okay, well what does that cost relative to the actual cost of diapers and does that make sense? Well, as you heard Governor Newsom point out, they're going to do $40 million and to get 40 million diapers. And in order to get 40 million diapers into the hands of needy families, they're going to spend $20 million over the course of two years, which roughly factors into about 50 cents per diaper. Okay, well how much are diapers actually? Well, being someone with one kid in diapers, I was going to say two, but she actually wears pull ups now. And my two year old is very, very distraught and distressed if I call it a diaper because no, no, she doesn't need diapers. She's a big girl. But anyways, as a person very, very familiar with the cost of diapers, I think 50 cents a diaper seems really high. If you go to your local Costco or just retailer of choice, the same diapers are about 12 to 15 cents per diaper, even cheaper if you buy them in bulk. So that cost doesn't really make sense. But here's where the investigation, I guess is effectively stopped. On the conservative aisle, you go, well, why is this happening in the standard response? Well, California just wastes money. And the argument against that is not the argument against what the standard response is, but the argument that is, why don't you just cut taxes? As several social media users pointed out over the week, it's, it would be literally cheaper for California to just give new mothers $100 and say, hey, go to Costco or Target, you'd get more diapers and it would be cheaper for the taxpayer. But that's where everything stops. And the question that I have is, all right, well what is actually happening here? And can we attribute this to idiocy or evil? As is often the question that we have on this show, there's actually interestingly many cases to be made for both sides and we'll explore that. But really too, and I don't want to, you know, give the conclusion away too early, I don't exactly know what's going on here. If you look at it from a stupidity standpoint. I'm going to read this verbatim from the governor's press release. Uh, remember the price that the state is going to pay for diapers is, I, I don't know, three times, four times higher than the actual cost in stores. But from the press release it says, leveraging the bulk purchasing power of the state, this new effort, known as the Golden Start, Golden State Start initiative will distribute high quality, mass produced diapers directly to families through participating hospitals statewide. Hold on. What they're pushing themselves is this is a great deal for taxpayers because we're going to quote, leverage the bulk Purchasing power of the state. I'm not entirely sure that that makes a ton of sense. Also though, here is the governor himself during a press conference about the new initiative, talking about what the price of diapers has done with the evil, evil capitalists, which I'll fill in with some context. But this makes me think maybe he doesn't actually understand what's going on here. This is cut16diapers.com There was an interesting story about how they were taken out by predatory pricing and how there were

and they can make a buck. High margin, relatively low costs, and it was all about cornering the market.
- [11:21]
Joe Bob
The problem is, and I'm going to use my Gavin hand gestures, the problem is that just is not true. Anybody who knows anything about diapers, and again, maybe I'm just in the phase of life where I know a lot about diapers, but anybody who knows anything about diapers knows that what Gavin said is just patently the opposite of true. High margin, low. No, no. Diapers not only to retailers, don't have a high margin. They actually are, generally speaking, operating at a very, very thin margin or a total loss. Is he? Diapers in the retail game are known as what's. What's called a loss leader. In other words, the retailers know they are going to lose money on the diapers, but they have them in stores in order to entice people to come into the stores that need an essential product. Like diapers. For instance, for example, Target, I managed to Target for a year right out of college, had a big diaper aisle, all things diapers, any diaper you'd want, any size, any brand, any fit, get all of the diapers. And we lost money every single day on those diapers. Okay, then why do you do it? Well, because parents need diapers. You can't, you can't not have diapers or else you have a house that ends up looking like the streets of San Francisco, something like that. So if you need diapers, you're going to go into the store. And when you're in the store, who here has ever gone into a Target and left with exactly what they went in for?
- [12:59]
Sponsor Announcer
No.
- [13:00]
Joe Bob
If my wife is any evidence of this, you go into target wanting one thing and you come out with 15 things. That's just how Target works. And they know that about you. So they put diapers as a massive product knowing that they're going to lose money on them so that you know, hey, the diapers are really cheap over at this retail store. Let's go in there knowing that you're going to fill your cart with a whole bunch of other stuff. All of that is to say that diapers are a loss leader for most retailers. So when Gavin Newsom says well this is their predatory pricing, look at their high margin items and people get, get, get screwed just from buying diapers cuz they're essential, that's actually the opposite of true. And what I can't figure out is if he's doing it for some sinister purpose as he usually does everything, or if he just doesn't understand that or somebody on his team doesn't understand the economics of diapers in retail stores. Where it gets even more confusing is when you factor in the nonprofit that the state is granting the money to to facilitate all of these free diapers. Not only are the diapers that the state is going to pay $0.50 per diaper free for at the retail cost price. The nonprofit that they're using Baby to baby actually has put out a bunch of press releases over the last couple years boasting the fact that they themselves manufacture diapers 80% below the retail cost. In in other words too just to reset the retailers price diapers very, very very low on purpose to entice people to come into the stores. And the nonprofit the state is using prices diapers even lower than that and they pride themselves on it. In 2021 they said they're starting to manufacture their own diapers. The Baby to Baby nonprofit said early reports cited around 6 cents per diaper versus the 25 to 30 cents costs per retailers. And if you notice the 30 cents cost for the retailers when you factor in what, what the sales price is, but 15 to 16 cents, yeah, they're losing money. It's a loss leader. Gavin doesn't know that. I'm not entirely sure why, but even the non profit that the state is using has a much lower cost. So. Okay, let's extrapolate that out. If it costs the nonprofit that the state is using six cents per diaper, what does it cost then to make 40 million diapers that the state has promised? About two and a half million dollars. Which then begs the question where is the 17 and a half other million dollars going? I don't know. Now I recognize that that's bad talk show host form. I'm supposed to have a definitive and positive unbending and unrelenting opinion on everything. But seriously, I, I don't know. The easy answer is well, it's going to the nonprofit. I use my air quotes board of directors or the top management over there to grease and line their pockets. The problem is, well the nine 90s on those nonprofits, which is the reporting mechanism that all nonprofits have to submit, wouldn't make that. It doesn't square with what the companies or the nonprofits 990s say. Actually the lower on the tier officers in that nonprofit make a good amount of money. But the CEOs themselves, the ones who were standing behind Governor Newsom when he was giving his press conference, only make about $66,000 per year from that nonprofit. Now I recognize this is before the statewide contract, but my gut tells me that it's not going to go directly to their pockets. One, because that would just seem way too obvious and two, they don't really need the money to begin with. One of the CO CEOs was hold onto your seats folks, strap in your seatbelts. A Clinton intern married into a nice wealthy family. And the second is married to the CEO of a big time hedge fund and a longtime major lib donor from the Clinton area era venture capitalist family. Basically the two CEOs who are in charge of all this sort of stuff don't need the money. So then the speculation begins as to okay, well where is all of it's going? What we know for sure is that the money is being wasted. But again that's par for the course in California. Where it's going again I don't actually know. Here's what I would say that we should all collectively and I will try to do my best at this, make sure we keep tabs on as this goes forward. Unfortunately there's not a ton that we can do to stop this other than complain and moan about it. But unfortunately also that's generally where our conservative reporting ends up stopping over the course of the next two years when these 40 million diaper program is implemented. What I think we need to pay attention to is who gets the outside contracts. If the nonprofit is operating at a level where they can produce a diaper for six cents and then it only takes two and a half million dollars of the $20 million allocated from the state for the diapers, where is the 17 and a half million dollars going over the course of the contract? I would be very very curious to see who gets, let's just say hype. Hypothetically the logistics contract. Is it ups, the Teamsters unionized California Lib promoting company? Or is it FedEx, the non union company? Is it USPS, the very very heavily union government Aligned, obviously company or is it the gig economy workers or the Amazon drivers that will be charged with distributing these diapers to the hospitals? My guess is the unions. But I think the case I'm trying to make here is I don't really know and we should keep our eyes out. And maybe this is a broader lesson for us conservatives who really, really hate government mismanagement and waste is we gotta keep an eye on all of this sort of stuff even as it progresses through the process of the contract. So many times we complain and we complain and complain for good reason because the numbers don't add up. The numbers clearly don't add up here. However, it's never as simple as, well, it just went to this CEO of this nonprofit. Sometimes it is. Sometimes they are that lazy. But other times they're a lot more, I don't know, complex with how the convoluted or with how they distribute the money to their cronies. What I can guarantee is that, yeah, the money is being wasted and two, it's going to cronies of some kind. What I think we need to do a better job of is nailing down exactly how and when we do that, we will have a much better footing in deciding whether or not we are going to keep these people in office or conveying the message to the libs who keep putting these people in office. Uh, yeah. This is where actually all of this is going. It's being done to manipulate you and manipulate the political system. Tbt@tbsa.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. Where do you think this Gap money is going again? I could be totally wrong. It could be that the next 990 show. Oh, hey, look, the CEOs of this company got $12 million raises for some reason, I just don't think they're that stupid. And I wonder too if Governor Newsom knows this or if he's just kind of dumb and left in the dark and it's the deep state in California maneuvering where all of this stuff is going, I don't know. I'm open to suggestions tpt. Com or leave a comment on any of the social media platforms you've got. Coming up after the break, big news out of North Korea, which should inform our opinions on Iran. Interestingly enough, and for the first time ever, a foreigner booted in Minneapolis. It's actually not exactly what you think. TBT tbsa.com we'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

I was kind of wondering where this was going at first. And then we watch a minute of it and it's just the same. It's just. It just. Guys think other guys are gay, I guess. I don't know if they all know that, like, this is Internet content and that's what's going to be funny. Gosh, it was funny to me. But also too. I don't know. I have concerns about this. I. This is, you know, somebody. If somebody were to look at me just the way that I dress in everyday life and my shorts questionably short. I do live in California. It is rather hot here. But I, you know, I like to. I like to have some breathing space. I also, I wear Crocs a lot. I got earrings. I think I'm generally a smiley guy. I. I can totally see a random person on the street being shown a picture of me with no context and go, gay. I can see that now. I'm just wondering if that's like the standard. If somebody asked you on the street, do you think this guy's gay or straight? My default answer is gay. Just, I don't know because it's silly and funny and whimsical. I'm wondering if that's the. If that's heroes. Just generally speaking. The average guy looks there. I don't know. TBT tbsa.com if you have any thoughts on that. Hey, when there's lots of points to get to. We do it in a way that makes sure we get to the point, starting with this silly theme song called get to the Point, get to the Point, get to the Point. First up, this actually should inform. And again, I don't want to get into a big Iran discussion, but this I think is left out when a bunch of people are talking about like the meat of what the Iran war is. Right? We so often get sidetracked into like the online political commentator. Ooh, it's, it's, it's this or that or we're being controlled. In reality, reasonable mind can make the case. Yeah, we don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. Why? Well, because North Korea has nuclear weapons and has stated. Now North Korea updates their constitution. Now again, I'm, I'm not at all commenting on the ability to do that. It's like Kim Jong Un can just put whatever he wants in the constitution. He's a tyrant and a dictator. But just this is, this is the type of ramifications you have to deal with if an untoward country gets a nuclear weapon. North Korea updates Constitution to require atomic nuclear strike if Kim Jong Un is assassinated. According to a report this put out by Fox News. And that's pretty much the entirety of it. The constitution revision was approved by a session in the Supreme. Supreme People's Assembly. Yes, they, they. Yep. Correct. It's the People's assembly of North Korea that isn't just one dude making decisions. But the bottom line is it, you think for a second that a bunch of the other countries that are, well, specifically Iran, who's trying to get a nuke as fast as humanly possible, wouldn't also put this sort of thing on the rest of the world and hold the rest of the world hostage. That's just, that's just what would happen. Again, I'm not really looking to get into a whole like Iran war discussion or debate right now. Let us know what you think. TBT tbsa.com but all it is to say is it's not crazy. Now, you may think one way or another, you may think the United States shouldn't be involved, but the idea that it, it is just, just the worst idea in the world to not want a, an adversary of the United States to get a nuclear weapon who doesn't have one already, especially one that promotes terrorism all across the globe, to think that that idea is ridiculous and silly is in fact ridiculous and silly, as evidenced in this particular case by North Korea. Uh, speaking of ridiculous and silly, it's not ridiculous and silly. This is ridiculous and scary. Uh, this from Breitbart, Texas woman indicted for attempted arson on Republican party headquarters. You know, because the left is violent. A federal grand jury in San Antonio indicted a 22 year old of New Braunfels, Texas which I believe is right outside of San Antonio. Oh yeah, San Antonio. Alleged attempted arson in one of the county conservative headquarters there. Let's see the indictment charges with actual attempted malicious damage by fire to property involved in interstate or foreign commerce for an incident that occurred on January 14th. So earlier this year, according to the documents, Brown allegedly broke a window through a backpack containing ethanol and gasoline inside. Which why is she using fossil fuels? I guess ethanol is a corn so. But gasoline, I'm sure you know that's, that's, that goes against what the libs want anyways. Set a rolled magazine on fire before throwing it into the building, leaving behind a note that read in part I burned down the Nazi Party of NB's office. I'm assuming New Braunfels FDJT F ICE Liberty or Die. Okay, so another crazy person hopefully will be brought to justice in the state of Texas. Again. Karl Marx would be proud of accusing the enemy of that which you are guilty believe also Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist would also be proud from this. But I, geez, I, I don't know what you do about this other than just know that the left is violent and be on your guard. I guess I like I. Sorry to be depressing here, but that's just where. This is where my head goes from here. You just, you have to know it and act accordingly. Speaking of violent leftists, this from cnn the press dinner. Gunman pleads not guilty to attempting to assassinate President Trump. Okay, I know this was news earlier today. I know you've probably seen a bunch of commentary on it already, so we won't belabor it too much. But prosecutors say because there's video evidence of it that Allen stormed through the security checkpoint at the hotel April 26 with loaded firearms and knives while the president and top administration officials were on a different floor. But that's CNN pointing out it's, it's crazy because if they want to attack Secret Service, they say wow, this guy got very close. But if they want to make maintain the idea. No, no, no, no. We're not all violence. Like I wasn't even that close. It was on an entirely separate floor. You can't have it both ways, Libs. Uh, he appeared in federal court on in Washington D.C. today, this morning, in shackles, he entered a plea. I'm not sure, I'm not sure what's going on here. I, I'm sure you kind of have to. Well, I don't know, it, it seems pretty, it's pretty like an open and shut case at this point, the non guilty plea. I wonder if you then try to negotiate some charges down, be like, hey, we're have to take this to trial. And I, I don't know what the thought process here, legally speaking is, but I don't know, this guy seems pretty dead to rights. He kind of had a whole manifesto that we didn't read specifically because we don't want to air the grievances of crazy people. But it, it said pretty, pretty blatantly, I cannot allow Donald Trump effectively to remain in power, therefore I'm going to try and take him out. So pleading not guilty is an odd one, but also, you know, I'm not entirely sure what the legal strategy is for this alleged clown. Speaking of legal strategies, One of the good legal strategies, especially if you're dealing with the cartel, is, hey, just go ahead and capture one of them or capture at least one of the leaders. This from CBS News. Cartel figure captured in Mexico as authorities recover drugs, guns and seven tigers. Interesting one, interesting there. Uh, Mexican authorities arrested. Not gonna say his name. Uh, dude, 39 years old, leader of a cell affiliated with the Northwest Cartel along with a 41 year old woman. During the operation, officials seized unidentified narcotics, cash, 10 guns, 11 vehicles, six motorcycles and seven tigers, which makes me think that some of those 11 vehicles were flipped due to the narcotics. Is that the kind of tiger we're talking about? I don't know. Actual tigers. Wow. I don't know which one is weirder. That's a lot of tigers. Not entirely sure what he's doing with those or if it's just like a trophy pet that some of your cartel freaks would have. That's crazy. The arrest stems from an investigation following the seizure of a boat and is linked to other broader efforts by the Northwest Cartel, which operates near the US border and has been a designated foreign terror group by the Trump administration. So cool. Uh, I am generally speaking happy to see the Mexican authorities taking action in their own country rather than us having to do it. Uh, so there's that. Speaking of immigrants and taking action, This is the first immigrant to ever get booted in Minnesota. In Minneapolis specifically. Uh, not though what you would seem. This is a video of Victor Wembanyama. I think I'm pronouncing that right. Getting ejected from a game in Minneapolis, Minnesota for throwing a vicious elbow, which, you know, what, well, what was the other player doing? What was he, what did he, what did he say? Because remember, the left justifies violence and hates that effect. I didn't want to mislead people with the headline, but it, I don't know, it makes sense. And it is funny in my opinion that, oh gosh, buried the lead here. If you're not familiar with this guy, he's like seven foot two, also is a three point shooter, which is unheard of. Might even be he's taller than 7:2 and he's from France. That's, there's that, that's the whole headline here. He's French in the United States, playing for a US Team, got booted from a game in Minneapolis, which is the first and only time that Minnesota has ever exacted any sort of repercussions on an immigrant. Do we have the clip of this? Yes. Cut 11. There you go.

That, that is a problem, to say the least. You can't do that. But also, look, hey, you know, he's from, he's from France. And as you know, the greeting in France is Asala Lakem and that sort of behavior is deemed acceptable on the streets of Paris. So I don't know, I, maybe this is just his immigration customs coming to full light in the United States of America. But you can't do that here. And, and interestingly enough, even unacceptable in Minnesota. All right, hey, official business is up next. The libs are making it abundantly clear what they will do when and if they regain power, which should be somewhat of a, of a, a boosting point as to why they shouldn't regain power.

I would like to get one ticket, please. Yes. Let's move to the left a little bit myself. Of course I'm moving. Yes. Could you just pick one for me, actually? 1058. Oh my goodness. I'll grab that. I'll grab that dollar really quickly. Thank you. And let me just make this clear. It was just one ticket, right? I only see one man here. Yes, one really tall man. Ticket for one. Yes, ticket for one. I have one. One. Yeah, one. Thank you so much. Theater 7. Just one really tall guy. Don't mind me. I both love and hate this. I mean, it's a funny prank regardless, but in the modern age, I think he got away with the prank because everybody is horrified to offend the trans people. So that extrapolates to everybody, like, not to. Not to overly politicize a an objectively funny YouTube video or whatever this is. But like, nobody at any point stopped and be like, no, clearly you're two people. Now, maybe the cashiers and the people that work there are just like, I don't really care about this job. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, you know, stop. This is funny to me. But also it could be the fact that at least one of those people were like, okay, so I could get fired for letting two people in, but I also could get fired for misidentifying a dual person, which is a new pronoun that has been affected, I guess. I don't know. And so what are my options? I think I'm less likely to get fired from accidentally letting another person in, and I'm more likely to get fired by offending a dual person or a double person. So I'm gonna go ahead and let him in because God forbid I offend a double person, a dual person, and whatever you want to call it. I think that, I think by is the letter in the. In the Alphabet for that. TPT TV said Calvin is the email, if you have any thought. What do you think happened there at the movie theaters in terms of the people that let this guy let these people. These people. I'm not, I'm not playing into their scheme. These two individuals go through. Hey, when officials conduct business, it becomes our business because it is, of course, by nature and by default, official business. Representative Ted Liu, who's one of the funnier people to make fun of. You know, generally speaking, I don't know when. When libs have yes points that we disagree with, but they're at least intelligent about making those points. You know, it's not very fun. What is fun, though, is when you have dumb people who happen to be in Congress, which is a lot of them who try to espouse their beliefs in ways that are stupid and idiotic. And one of the key proponents of this, the prominent libs who should. Should. Should participate in the phrase better to be be silent and thought a fool than speak to them to remove all doubt. He is the poster child of that. That idiom. Here is Congressman Ted Liu confirming the libs plan to let fraud run rampant. Six Democrats are going to reduce health care costs, lower costs across the board, reduce your energy costs. That's the message. Are you going to do that? Democrats shut down the government to have

didn't get any policy concessions and premiums went up. You lost that fight. Well, actually, we passed through the House an extension of ACA tax credits for three years. We urge the Senate to pass that legislation as well. Democrats, when we get Control. We're going to reverse the massive Medicaid cuts, the Medicare cuts, and the cuts of ACA that Trump and Republicans are put in last year. Okay, before we get to any of this, Producer Glenn, can we leave this on the screen here? He kind of looks like a pug, like the smaller dog or like a French. A Frenchie. Frenchie or pug. Tptbsa.com which dog does this congressman resemble more? These are the important and pressing issues that we discuss on this show. To, to his point, though, the first thing we do when we get back into powers, we're going to put back all of the funding for a bunch of the fraudulent programs that have been exposed during this administration. In other words, we, they stopped the fraud and we need to keep the fraud going. Good one, Congressman. Wonderful. I'm sure that will win you lots of votes in the areas where a bunch of people are benefiting from the fraud. So actually there's a. To, to an extent I understand his point. Um, one of the people who's smart, who should be, should be smarter than that is Congressman Hakim Jeffries, the minority leader in the House. Here's him talking about the judicial reform and I use air quotes that libs would like to enact if and when they regain power. This cut seven period of time. We do have these structural problems that need to be addressed. We've got to, for instance, make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement act so we can end the era of voter suppression in the United States of America once and for all. We have to end Citizens United, dramatically reform our campaign finance laws to stop the ability of these deep pocketed special interests to intervene. And we are going to have to explore massive judicial reform state by state and at the federal level. And everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned. Cool. So pack the courts and just eliminate any sort of trust that anybody has in the judicial system. Good. That country will survive that, everyone. President Obama last week when we were talking about, he said something along the lines of, you know, we can survive these things. Yeah, those are one of those things that libs are like, yeah, we can survive this. No, no, we, we can't. We can't at all survive that. Uh, so there's that. Um, and last but not least, wrapping up official business here or, eh, we'll see, we'll see. Depending on the time. Uh, here is Illinois Lib Juliana Stratton talking about what they're gonna do to President Trump once they regain office. And well, there's some of this that I don't doubt them on Cut eight. Well, it's critically important to me that we investigate into the extent that we can hold this president and his administration accountable for their abuses of power in Illinois. We have the Illinois Accountability Commission to address what happened with Operation Midway Blitz as ICE agents terrorized our communities. He's not always going to be president, but we have to be a check. We have to fight and we have to stand up and that's what people deserve, that we hold this president accountable and we, that's what, what I'm going to do when I get to the Senate. So I think she's talking about. Okay, so the lieutenant governor of Illinois. Oh, we, we actually had, we had her on. Not had her on and talked to her. She would never. But we, we had her a clip of her in the YouTube show, which if you don't already go subscribe to the YouTube channel, I don't think we did that on this show. But her talking about the very reasonable Supreme Court decision to say, hey, you can't district based entirely on race, that is racist. Stop. Uh, she was claiming this is the worst thing that's ever happened in the history of the world, but I guess she's running for Senate. And in the Senate she will choose to convict President Trump when he is inevitably impeached by the lib controlled House, which I can almost guarantee will happen because they're out of control and that's the only thing they care about is impeaching Trump. That doesn't matter. What, just impeach the guy because he needs to be impeached. And then when you ask libs what impeach means, generally speaking, they go kick him out of office. Like, no, not. Nope, not actually what it means. But sure, go ahead and keep on thinking that and keep on doing your thing, libs. We'll continue mocking you for it. Yeah, we don't have time to get to this next one. Cause I want to get to. I want to leave some good meltdown Monday fodder. Coming up after the break. Tptpa.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, let us know. TBT tpusa.com what do you think about the libs literally saying all the things that they're going to do if and when they regain power, rather than just like kind of keeping it under wraps and trying to remain normal in order to get said power? I don't know. Is that good? Bad, indifferent? TPTPC.com is the email address. We'll be right Back after the break. Don't go away.

Things that cost less than Newsom's 1.2 billion dollar California capital expansion. The Golden Gate Bridge twice 200 million in n out burgers house all 10,000 homeless people veterans in California. The original capital times five three Trump ballrooms, the capital of New Zealand, India and Germany combined. You know, I this guy, he's been doing. He's been popping up in my feed quite a bit on social media and I think he's great. He's. He kind of. It's. It's so much easier to recognize the massive spending when you put it in the context relative to other things. Things. What. What was it like a gajillion in and out burgers? I don't know what the exact number was but that when you look at it things, when you look at things through that lens, hey, the amount of money stolen by the Minnesota fraudsters, what was it in 12 in the, it's in the multi billions. Okay, so what that money could have done, it could have bought everybody in Minnesota. Toyota, Corolla, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's way it gives you a great visual picture of how much money is actually being wasted. Anyways. Speaking of wasting, don't want to waste too much time here so we can get to my favorite. I think I say this about every segment.

I'm just gonna read this because I think it's just so, it's, it's, it's very well put, I think. This is Gunther Eagleman on the Internet's the X accounts says that Liam McGowan had a full on all caps psychotic break on CNN after a panelist praised Spencer Pratt. Spencer Pratt running for city count. Sorry mayor in LA for pushing straight up common sense on Los Angeles nightmare under lib rule. So let's watch that psychotic break meltdown on CNN cut 12. His odds are going up. We'll see. This is a really uphill battle for him but I think Republicans should be taking copious notes because he's literally, you just got to embrace common sense and be normal. And he is calling out the fact that leftists in LA seem to be fine with letting people, you know, shoot up in front of schools. They're fine with dogs getting injected with fentanyl. They're doing nothing. And he's calling out some very obvious things that the vast majority of Americans can agree on. And he's going viral because of it. People want common sense. Is this common sense for real? Like as an LA voter, as someone that will vote for mayor in Los Angeles, I'm telling you this is the opposite of common sense. This is so embarrassing. I am so exhausted of being surrounded by this level of idiocy. It is not. This guy is not practical. Man's plan was to live off his reality fame. When that dwindled, he wanted to be a influencer.

How have we learned nothing? Let me just play his. What his retort to you would be he. Okay, so it is interesting though, all of the things that she said do actually need to take place. He said he's going to end corruption. I mean, it has to get done. And currently the people participating in the corruption are running for reelection. So like, are we, are we in disagreement that that needs to happen? Maybe you don't like the way that he's planning on doing it. Maybe he doesn't have a clue on how he's gonna do it. The bottom line is we all agree that it needs to happen. She's talking, well, how's he gonna. The homelessness, she's gonna end homers. How? I don't know. The way we've been doing it hadn't been working. So of the people running, the only guy who's not gonna do the same thing and is the guy that you're making fun of. So how do you think my face replications were during that part? I think you got to understand too, when you're on TV, the camera's always on you like 100% of the time. It's always on whether or not you're actually projected onto the screen. You know, you know, you don't know. But you also got to keep the facial expressions to a minimum. There was a hit ad on Spencer Pratt that we probably, we don't have time to play here right now. But it's hilarious in that it basically is a pro Spencer Pratt ad because of how, how well it's done. It's, it's like Spencer Pratt says he's going to fix corruption by lessening the fraud. And you're like, wait a minute. That good? Why are you using your deep, scary voice? Why are you using minor scale on the piano to do this video? Why does it sound scary? It sounds great. Maybe we'll play it tomorrow. Tptpc.com is the email address.

Any guesses where? Any airline? Guesses? Okay, can we guess what airline she's flying? Is she just downing? Is that vodka? That's vodka. Holy cow. You know, I would have, I would have guessed spirit, but I don't think that's an option anymore. So I don't know Delta. I don't, I don't. I don't think Delta is gonna allow that. Sort of like shenanigans. So there's that. All right. Hey mailbag. Tptbusa.com so got a lot of interesting emails here. First one from Jacob on the cell size. What was I talking about here? I don't even. I was talking about something related to the size of the jail that you would put. That you would put the sex offenders that got arrested on the cruise lines, most of which were from the Philippines. I said they should be put in a very, very small jail cell. Even smaller because they're Filipino. Jacob says, my Filipino wife is 4 11. So your proposed 5 foot 3 jail cell is still too big. Consider scaling it back to two and a half by four and a half feet that would provide for ultimate uncomfortableness. Okay, I Jacob, thank you for that poignant email. I appreciate your constructive criticism and I will take it and adjust my thinking about it myself. Let's see, John agrees with me about leaving the protesters glued to the ground. He says I totally agree. Leave them. Put some barricades with signage round saying no through traffic. Paula Sorry. Pamela actually points out to imagine those protesters were just left in the street. Eventually they would get tired and need to sit or lie down. That is another I I can't believe I didn't bring that up. But like you concrete yourself standing up. All right, let's leave you for 24 hours. How are you gonna lie down like that with your feet? All that's a good Pamela. Thank you. Barbara says I also agree. Just leave them there. If they want to insist on gluing themselves, cementing themselves, just leave them there. Dang. There's some.
