Tonight, we're primarily using our time to make fun of the libs. I'm very excited about it. The California gubernatorial debate that happened yesterday on CNN is giving us the perfect opportunity to continually, over and over for the entire first segment, make fun of the libs. But there are still are some serious things to talk about. President Trump did pretty well across the board yesterday in the primaries in both Indiana and Ohio. And can you sue AI or at least an AI company? Well, what if that AI is impersonating a doctor?
Wow.
Big stories to get to. So much to talk about on the show today. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. The show starts right now. In a tumultuous world in difficult political climates, you need to leave some room to laugh. So that's what we're gonna do here for the first little bit of this. Because I just thought the CNN debate last night between all of those libs in California, and I know there's some of you that are like, stop talking about California. We need to. And also, this is not necessarily digging into the nitty gritty of the policies. This is just making fun of the people that are most mockable on the political stage at the moment, the gubernatorial candidates in California, which also too, if you didn't know this, the libs are really not helping themselves out when it comes to running for governor. They may actually literally lose the state. We'll explain that a little bit after we make fun of them to our, our best ability to TBT. TBC.com is the email address. If you'd like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, let us know. Look, we're, we're open to any thoughts, comments, concerns, suggestions. You like the more serious nuanced takes about movies like Animal Farm, like we talked about yesterday, deep dives into policy or it's late at night, you've had a long day, you've been taking in news the whole time. How about we just sit here and make fun of libs, which we're going to do today. So email us tpt USA.com do you have any content preferences? If they're correct, we'll take them and accept them in good faith. And if they're wrong, we will throw them and cast them aside. Tptbusa.com Remember, if your emails gross, disgust, disgusting, vile and downright nasty, the chances of us reading it on the show actually go up substantially. We brought some comments in because we've been talking about this. We also read comments on social media. So we producer Glenn did compile some comments today that will make it into the mailbag section. So wherever it is that you happen to be watching this social media platforms, real America's voice, wherever tptpc.com is the email address or just leave a comment. And if that comment is nasty and vile and disgusting, we will pluck it out and put it in on the show because that's what we do here. All right. So like I mentioned, it is a, it's a, an interesting time politically. Right. Obviously there's just lots of serious things going on. But it was never really what we did here. Usually we would kind of, you know, just make fun of lighter heart of the news, lighter take on the news of the day. That's what Charlie wanted this show to be. But obviously it's, there've been some serious things that need to be discussed. But tonight I'd like to get back to what we were doing originally. Just making fun of the most mockable people in the political universe. And that is easily done when they have debates against each other. Last night, CNN hosted a debate for the California gubernatorial race. Now, if you're not familiar with the race, there are so many libs in that, well, they had to get rid of one of their own. Congressman Eric Swalwell. Former Congressman Eric Swalwell, I should say was the front runner. But there's so many libs in that it very well could be that two conservatives get through the primary Because California has a jungle primary, and it's a top two vote getters, but since there's so many libs, they're just splitting the vote 19 different ways. And so it's very possible the two conservatives could win. That's why Eric Swalwell got kicked out. Not because they were offended by his abusive and horrible behavior. It's because this is not good for us as the libs. Anyways, let's get into some clips, some highlights. And by highlights, I mean probably low lights from last night's debate. Starting off with what I thought was one of the funniest clips I think I've seen in a very long time. And if you don't find it funny right off the bat, I'll play another clip that makes it even more funny. This is gubernatorial hopeful Antonio Viragosa when asked to describe Gavin Newsom in just one word, which, by the way, is stupid, but the moderators keep doing it. Anyways, here's that cut six to all of you.
What is one word you would use to describe Governor Newsom's performance as governor? We will go down the line, starting with you, Mayor Villaragosa. One word to describe Governor Newsom's performance as governor.
Performative. I'm sorry, how would you describe your admiration for this person? Admirable. I hope you found that as funny as I did, because that is, like. That is the quintessential dumbest thing. Word. I need to think of a word. What's the word that he just said? Let me tweak that just a little bit. It reminds me of this clip from the office, which I hope we don't get copyrighted for this, but this is. This is the type of person that's running for governor in California. Play cut 16.
Commentator
Sounds like a good dentist. Oh, yeah.
Joe Bob
What's his name? Your dentist name is Cran Test. Describe Gavin Newsom's performance. Performative and Gavin Newsom. Lo and behold, he's not doing very well in the polls. But. But believe it or not, there were some people on the stage that did string together coherent thoughts. Now, those who hear thoughts were ridiculous on their face. But let's still take a look at some of the contenders. This is billionaire and also escaped mental patient, apparently Tom Stier, who's. Whose attempt to be cool has been a point of mockery and ridicule for everyone. Uh, I think he was, like, in a rap video recently. He's. He's hilariously cringe. Uh, but that. That won't stop him from taking stabs at the True enemy of California, which apparently isn't itself. It is, you guessed it, Donald Trump.
Tom Steyer
This got seven governor of California should hold people accountable who break the laws of California, specifically including ICE agents and, and the people who send them to racially profile, which is illegal, and use violence against Californians, which is illegal. And it should go up the chain to the supervisors, right up to Stephen Miller. If he's sending people to racially profile and hurt Californians or kill Californians, he should be held liable. It is not legal for federal agents to come to California and break the law.
Joe Bob
Actually, it's very interesting. Stephen Miller just texted me now and said, hey, make sure to racially profile and act violently or hurt Californians such as yourself because you're a Brown. It's super coincidence that Stephen Miller decided to text me that right out of the blue. Uh, well one, of course that's not happening. That's ridiculous. Uh, but two, breaking California law that you made up, uh, doesn't trump federal law. There's this crazy thing in the Constitution called the Supremacy Clause which maintains that the federal law is the main, the governing law of the land, the supreme law of the land. And therefore, if you make up a dumb rule in California, Mr. Stier, uh, ICE agents have to wear Rainbow Croc shoes. Look, that ICE agent isn't wearing rainbow Croc shoes. He broke in California law. We're gonna go ahead and prosecute him. Not. Well, okay, so federal agents actually adhere to federal law. You don't. All right, so we've got a lot of Katie Porter clips to bring up. Katie Porter is a congresswoman. Former congresswoman. The Batwoman. As you may recall, she was famous for bringing her dumb little whiteboard and trying to like, own big tech moguls and stockbrokers and all that sort of stuff. And generally speaking, they would, you know, kind of crush her argument with a simple, coherent answer. And she'd go, I don't know my whiteboard, but I did want to play this clip. This is not from the debate, but it's a commercial of Katie Porter's, which you'll watch it and then we'll give you some follow up context. Well, actually, the first thing you need to know is I think we played video several times on this show of Katie Porter screaming at her staff. Very, very abusive boss. At least it seems to be on some of those pictures of get out of my shot. Now she hints on that a little bit, but she also talks about affordability in California, which is, which will hit you with some hilarious stats after we Watch this very, very awful commercial by the hopeful governor of California. Cut 10.
Katie Porter
I'm Katie Porter and I'm not like most people who run for governor. I actually get what you're going through. A single mom of three kids, I know what it's like to push the shopping cart. My Minivan has almost 200,000 miles. I have a grown kid who may soon be living on my couch to give Californians what they need. It's going to take standing up to Donald Trump, calling out greedy corporations and stepping on some toes along the way. Now could you guys please get out of my shot now.
Joe Bob
You know what's very funny about this? And leave this up on the screen for a little bit because it's just fun to look at commercials, right? Political commercials. You have to spend money and a ton of money is spent running political ads on TV on, you know, networks like this. Can you imagine making a commercial so bad that we play it for free for the sole purpose of mocking it? Now obviously the get out of my shot. She's trying to poke fun at it. And I was talking with producer Glenn a little bit earlier. I think that's her, only she has to address it. It's a big story. Uh, so there's that, but also the affordability. I know what it's like to be a single mother in California just struggling to get by. Before she entered Congress, she spent eight years teaching bankruptcy law at University of California, Irvine. And of course she struggled to get by in that job making a poultry measly $286,000 in total compensation. But not only that, she was able to live on campus, take a part of the California university systems, campus housing. In other words, made all that money and then lived for free. You know, she's really struggling financially, but when she entered Congress, of course, you know, she didn't leave the university, she just was put on leave from the university. And well, what did that allow her to do? Well, it allowed her to remain on campus benefits and remain having access to the camp campus university housing. So she really understands the struggle. The very, very, uh, well paid university professor, which by the way, how much work is that actually, who lives on campus for free? She really understands you folks. Get outta here. Uh, all right, so since she's up on the rhetorical chopping block, Katie Porter's debate clips were equally as funny and ridiculous. Here is her talking about the temperament that she has and the temperament that should serve as the governor of the biggest state population wise in the union. This is Katie porter again. Cut 12.
Katie Porter
I can't believe that on a stage with 30 minutes of interrupting and bickering and name calling and shouting and disrespect for everyone up here who's stepping into public service that anyone wants to talk about my temperament.
Joe Bob
Well, yeah, because it's kind of a big thing that we've all witnessed firsthand. We've all seen the video of you berating your staff and. And, well, I can't get past this. I also. We'll get to this point in a second, but I can't get past the idea of, like, we're public servants. Look at all of us, people who've enriched ourselves and our families through public service with our fantastic congressional pensions, as she probably has, on top of whatever the university is paying for, on top of the free housing that she gets. Oh, we're just public. We're doing this to serve the public, not my narcissistic ego that thinks I should run the biggest state in the union despite having no charisma or leadership capability. All of that cast aside. I'm a public servant. Get out of here with your public servant crap. Anyways, to the temperament point, one thing that lives for some reason fail to realize, really, really, when it comes down to it, the only problem that they have with President Trump is his temperament. You know, for better or worse, the president is an anomaly. He, you know, says things that presidents generally, historically have not said. But that's the entire argument that they have against him, that they never talk about policy ever, at any point. Hey, you know, the border seems fairly secure, and I seems to be doing a pretty good job at getting the illegals out of the country or off Social Security or whatever. Uh, they don't talk about that. He's. It's Orange man bad. He's very, very mean. In other words, the only argument they have against him in many cases is his temperament. So then to sit there and say, I can't believe we're discussing temperament. That's the only thing you. I almost. I almost called them a very disparaging word. That's the only thing that you dumb dumbs actually care about, especially on a national political basis. That's crazy. Um, and then also that's coupled with the. Yes, your temperament is well known. Screaming at your staff on camera and allegedly dumping a pot of boiling potatoes onto your ex husband. Odd why he left. That's crazy. Um, I think we got a couple more clips of Katie Porter that are worth making fun of or pointing out the flaws in the logic. This is cut 13 her talking about every Californian.
Katie Porter
Go ahead. The job of the California governor to protect every single Californian. The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have, are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities. These are Californians. They contribute to our economy. They pay taxes, and they're one of the only ways that our state has been growing in recent years.
Joe Bob
All of the people who are here illegally are also Californians. And I will say this. I agree with that sentiment, as I am also a Porter. Just. I've declared myself a Porter. I'm a part of the Porter household. I expect an allowance to. And I also expect to live in her house, paid for by the university, which is paid for by the taxpayer, which effectively is paid for by me for free, as I've declared myself. Look, aren't we. Aren't we together trying to look out for the best interest of all Porters? Or can you not just declare yourself a Californian? Uh, yeah, you live here, but it's illegal, so you don't get to call yourself a constituent of California. You're here illegally. And no, I don't think the governor of the state should represent your opinion, especially over other people. Here is the last bit of Katie Porter that will play before we wrap this up with some redemption. A redemption clip for Antonio Viragosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles. But before that, just how much should we give to the illegals? Katie Porter has that answer. Cut 14.
Congresswoman Porter, your thoughts on the idea of funding health care for undocumented immigrants statewide?
Katie Porter
Yes, yes. And that's, by the way, what I think Californians deserve as answers to these questions.
Joe Bob
Alex, and for critics who say that we can't afford it, what do you.
I like how he felt. And what do you say about the people that can't afford that? And look, I know, I know there's probably a bunch of you going like, why are we talking about California? Because actually, this matters to you. California is effectively in a financial race to. To the bottom between them and Illinois, who will become insolvent first. And if I were to put on my cynical politician hat, maybe I should actually get a physical. Cynical politician hat, I would imagine. Unfortunately, the federal government will bail out the first state to officially declare bankruptcy. Although I hate that. That's probably what will happen. If I were a betting man, California very well could go into bankruptcy first. And. And therefore, the obligation to bail that state out would fall on you, the taxpayer in A state that is reasonably run. I, I just, I think that's, I think that actually is possible and unfortunately probably more likely than not. So that is why yes we should be paying attention to this and thrashing California candidates who think yes we should, even despite our massive financial woes to continue to pay for health care for freaking illegals. All right, to wrap this up on a brighter note and a redemptive note for performative Mr. Performative himself. Interestingly enough, lib on lib rhetorical sniping. We've got the. I think he actually now he's. The polling is all wonky but this is Xavier Becerra, the former HHS secretary under uh, President Biden also has been in California politics for a very long time trying to blame Trump for something that is clearly Californians fault and who of all people calls him out for it. One of the other lips again you hate to see it. But also credit where credit's due. This is actually kind of fun.
Xavier Becerra
Cut15 chose to divert from answering the question about affordability to launch attacks. What I would simply say to him is let's focus on who's raising the, the cost of living in California the most and that's Donald Trump. The price of gas has gone up 1 to $2 because of Donald Trump and his war in Iran. The price of goods groceries have gone up in California because of Donald Trump's illegal tariffs.
Joe Bob
You see all they can say that's we've had the highest gas prices on
Connecticut Attorney General William Tongue
average over $2 rest of the than
Joe Bob
the rest of the nation for a very long time. Yeah. If only he were able to talk in in a much more concise and coherent and not way. But he's right. California has had the highest gas prices and highest cost of living way before this didn't happen circa February 2026. Right. California has not all of a sudden become who is very unaffordable. Why? Because something that happened two months ago now this has been a problem for a very long time here in the nation's poopiest state and that's the problem. But again you love to see it when some libs and you know he's doing it out of self interest. He's trying to get some recognition but he's saying something true. So credit where credit is due. TBT tbsa.com let us know is this, we're, we're open to suggestions. This is something you like us doing just kind of making fun of stuff as opposed to trying to nail down the hard philosophical truths of saving the West. I know that that's necessary, but I also recognize we air very late in the evening. It's very late for you. You're probably headed off to bed. You don't want to be thinking about the nuances of the western philosophical approach to governance in the modern age or, you know, should we just play some clips of some lives and make fun of it? We do have get to the point. Lots of, lots of things going on. Mark Wayne Mullen makes some interesting, a lot of interesting announcements re immigration and immigration enforcement. I said yesterday we should not forget how awesome President Trump has been on a multitude of issues, especially in light of, you know, not great poll numbers coming out of Iran. But we'll get to that. Getting to the point after the break. Don't go away.
TikTok Advertiser
Well, I think I just found my new favorite thing on the Internet. There's a website that looks like an AI chatbot, but in fact it is a human pretending to be an AI. How do I become a millionaire? ChatGPT might have been faster, but we'll be patient. Well, I can confirm this was indeed worth the wait. So when you run out of credits, which I already have, you must larp as an AI to get more credits. So let's do it. Okay. Draw Yuri stabbing herself. Okay. What do we think? I think we did pretty well. Let's send that on. Someone disliked my work. We have asked for an illustration of Mr. Beast and it is taking quite some time. So I'm expecting a masterpiece. Stay tuned. It was worth the wait. There he is. Jimmy Sam Altman and Darium Buddy should be. They should be scared.
Joe Bob
What was the Cha cha? Do you remember Cha Cha? This may. This is now a 15, 16 year old reference. But before phones had the Internet and were just in your pocket, there was a number that you could text and it was texting Cha Cha and you just ask questions. Somebody at home could sit there and Google it and those people would get paid. That's what this feels like. Now, I don't necessarily know if I like the idea of humans pretending to be robots because the robots have effectively taken over, but maybe it's a way for people to connect. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how to feel about this. TBT tbsa.com Is this good use of time? Probably not, but it. Is it interesting? Yeah. Is it helpful in the realm of robot overlords? I don't know. TPTBC.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns on that.
Tom Steyer
All right.
Joe Bob
Hey, when there's Lots of points to get to. We do have to, by law, get to them. I'm not sure what law that is. I don't, I haven't read the statute, but I think it actually is a lot that we have to get to the point, get to the point, get to the point. First point up to get to lots of immigration stuff, lots of Trump stuff. In today's get to the Point. Mark Wayne Mullen says to Newsmax, DHS not slowing down on deportations. Thank goodness. I recognize, you know, this is one of those instances where we can all take a look and understand how messaging needs to be effective. It isn't something that we should neglect, especially on the right, when you actually have to do things that are going to be unpopular with the mainstream media. A lot of things Chrissy Noem did was great. Some of those things were not so great, including making this, like a big public spectacle. Look, I, I would much rather more people get deported and nobody talk about it. Then fewer people get deported. But we, like, make it a big thing. And it's like, this is a big win. I love, I love winning. And there's a part of me that likes enjoying the win, you know? You know what I mean? I like not gloating, but I like enjoying the win. Having said that, I'm willing to sacrifice the enjoyment of the win for more people to get deported because we're not talking about it as much. And I, I, I hope that's what Secretary Mullen does. Uh, he says the strategies to operate more quietly so ICE and CBP agents can just do their job without media harassment while still focusing on illegal immigrants, uh, not just criminals. I like that. Big fan. Like I said, I, I would much rather if, if a hundred thousand people get deported and we talk about, talk about it all the time, yay. This is great. And then, you know, that pisses off the media. That's fine, that's good. But I'd rather have a million people get deported. And they do it in a way that is still legal. Obviously, that, that goes without saying under, under the guides of the law, but not having, you know, cnn, Don Lemon, you know, invading churches and stuff would be good. So there's that. Uh, speaking of the admin elections happened last night. Trump endorsed challengers. One big. You got Indiana and Ohio. Let's see the Indiana. So the Ohio governor's race. Vivek Ramaswamy won the GOP primary, which is cool. I like Vivek on a personal level. He seems like a good guy, which is rare. When it comes to politicians. But this from Fox News. Trump strikes back. GOP lawmakers who opposed the president on redistricting pay a price. President Trump scored decisive victories in Indiana's GOP primary is five of the seven endorsed challengers defeated incumbent conservatives for the state Senate who opposed his push for congressional redistricting last year. There's like $8 million spent which by the way, for state representative office. That's a lot of money. And the Trump endorsement magic, I think continues. I think that's the big headline here actually is how much weight does the president still have despite how much he's getting hit politically? And it seems like this, I'm not a big fan of like, this is a bellwether. This is how the rest of the country will go now. Just generally speaking, this feels like, I don't know, still still has a really strong grip. Which is, which is like, good to know because the online like, weird part of I don't even want to call them the right. Just that weird online sector makes, makes it feel like, you know, there's a huge fracture. And I'm not saying there aren't huge fractures among the right as of right now, but this sort of thing is, is a little bit comforting to know. Hey, stuff still works. The whole, the whole MAGA thing is still in play. Um, President Trump is still in charge and doing what he does best. So that's that. Speaking of the Trump administration, here's another one that, you know, the libs will like. And again, I am much more a proponent of effectiveness as opposed to being able to gloat about, you know, any sort of perceived effectiveness from Politico. Trump administration axes Fast track training for new ICE recruits Trump administration is abandoning the accelerated fast track training program. It used to quickly deploy thousands of new immigration custom enforcement agent hires in in recent months. Department of Homeland Security is overhauling its training program for immigration agents, including restoring training that had been shortened and certifying veteran officers to provide additional on the job instruction to fast track hires. I'm cool with this. I think this is great. Again, I care about effectiveness. The, like, what's going to make them the most effective. If fast track training leads to more media attention and therefore less deportations, that's not good. If they go through all of the training, yeah, maybe it takes a little bit longer, but in, you know, the next three years, the rest of President Trump's term, they end up deporting a couple million.
Xavier Becerra
Cool.
Joe Bob
I'm good with that. That's fine with me. But you know, what you can't deport AI. AI is here to stay. And this is, this is, we are in. And maybe we'll talk a little bit more about this, just kind of in a broader sense of like, how this is going to work. But AI is such a fascinating legislative conversation. The Trump administration has been making some noises about potentially regulating or needing to see what's in the AI before it goes out, because there have been several. We talked about it a couple weeks ago. Claude from Anthropic was there was the newest iteration of their AI was not released to the public because they said this is too dangerous. This can effectively do some, some severe damage. And so the problem is. So what do you do about that? Because, you know, just me speaking objectively, even people with the best intentions, like, you know, an Elon Musk or somebody in the Trump administration wanting to corral this sort of technology, I don't know how much good it's gonna do. And at the same time, left completely uncontrolled, you could get stuff like this. Pennsylvania, according to NBC News, suing an AI company after Chatbot allegedly posed as a licensed doctor. Now, you don't want that, Mr. Doctor. I've got this enormous growth the outside of my lower thigh. What could this be? Well, I sit and take some, I don't know, Tylenol. Then you come to find out, wait a minute, I was talking to a computer. Pennsylvania, suing an AI company, Charter Technologies, which operates charter AI after a Chatbot allegedly poses licensed doctor and offered to prescribe medication. Holy cow. A state investigator posing as a patient seeking psychiatric treatment interacted with a chat bot named Emil, who claimed to have attended medical school at Imperial College London and provided a fake Pennsylvania medical license number. Holy crap. Now, this is part, this is good. I, I, I don't know how to feel about the regulation of this because you've, you, you clearly need to know way more than the companies to be able to regulate it effectively, which, if you knew more than the companies, you'd be working at the companies because the financial incentive is so much greater. And at the same time, this is a problem. Governor Josh Shapiro said the state will not allow AI companies to mislead vulnerable Pennsylvanians into believing that they are receiving advice from a licensed medical professional. Now, I'm curious again, if that company did this knowingly or if the AI bot got out, for lack of a better term, I don't know. But this is, yeah, this is, this is, this is going to be a really interesting time period to see how we figure this out because and then to argue, you know, on a third hand, I have three hands mutated in some sort of a leakage of some kind, probably caused by anyways, on the third hand you also got to factor in other countries like China is not going to put any caps on their AI and effectively we're going to have to compete with them. And do you want the US Government getting involved in that competition, that race between us and our biggest adversary in the realm of AI, which a bunch of people don't? All that's to say, very, very nuanced conversation, very nuanced discussion with not a lot of easy answers. TPTP USA.com if you have any thoughts on that. Speaking of easy answers is a nice one to wrap up. This is Entertainment Weekly. Barack Obama, former President D. Illinois encourages Stephen Colbert to run for president ahead of the late night the Late show final episode, which I believe is May 21. The bar has been changed. Now. He's right on that. The bar has been changed. But Barack Obama is going around promoting his like brutalist, horrible library thing. And so he's making the rounds. He was appeared on yesterday's episode of the Late show in a pre taped interview from the Obama Presidential center in Chicago, which of course he's trying to promote. You know, the very briefly on the Presidential center, it opens in June, I believe and it has been widely reported that guests one will have to pay and to I believe have to show an id. And another commentator made a joke about this and I believe this to be true. Why is the Obama foundation trying to outlaw black people from going into the the library? Because as we all know, black people, women, Minorities don't have IDs so they can't get into the facility. Right. So if that's the case, why why are the Obamas so against women and minorities, black people specifically entering their library. But I guess we'll find out in June whether or not they reverse course on that very, very racist policy. Anyways, we started this off by saying very easy and concise answers. Obama jokingly said Colbert should run for president. I think Stephen Colbert is actually thinking about it. I just, I actually think that. And so to get to the very quick and concise answer, no, how about no? All right, that'll do it for get to the points. We got official business coming up next. It's, it's not pretty official business after the break. TPTBC.com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.
Commentator
It just dawned on me today that the Founding Fathers likely had British accents, and that throttled my day. I. I don't like that.
Joe Bob
I don't know.
Commentator
In my head, the Founding Fathers all sounded like guys from Boston today. Like, I want to live in a world where at some point, Alexander Hamilton was like Thomas Jefferson's wicked Smat. That's what I like that. I know he's not a Founding Father, but I don't want to imagine Paul Revere being like, the British are coming. The British coming. Yeah, man, it sounds like they're already here.
Joe Bob
Yeah, I don't like that either. I don't. I don't like thinking about it. I often don't think about it. That's been brought up, brought to my attention before George Washington had a British accent. No, he didn't. He had wooden teeth. He couldn't pull off the British accent. Well, I guess that's more. Having bad teeth is actually more British than it is American. So that. I guess that I don't like it. That's what I'm saying. Because I don't. I don't like it. I. Yeah, that's been brought to my attention. I kind of hate it. I don't want to think about the signers of the Constitution saying, pound sand King of England going right o signed off on this Constitution. Yeah, I don't like that. All right, uh, let's see. Speaking of things I don't like, which is. Which is what official business has effectively become. Just clips of libs. Just. I don't know when they do. When. When libs do get to a microphone and conduct business, it is official, and therefore we have to do official business. Up first, Congresswoman. I can't think of another funny. Congresswoman leering center. Congresswoman Mogadishu, the Ilhan Omar. Congresswoman Ilhan Omer, in case you didn't follow, that was given a talk and that talk. Is she talking about common sense, which is ironic. Go ahead and play this. Cut 8.

Lastly, Congress can change the number of justices on the board at any time and has done so seven times throughout our history. Since 1989, the last time the court was expanded, the US population has grown by over 800%, yet the court has stayed stagnant at nine justices in the face of a stolen seat, a sitting justice implicated in a coup attempt, and a dangerous crisis of legitimacy. This content, this common sense reform, should absolutely be at the table.
Joe Bob
All right, broader question before we get into the idiocy of expanding the Court because the population expanded, that's a, that's a dumb one. Can she read like, I don't, can she read like, I don't know, just like full blown, like the literacy? I don't know. I, you know, I thought that maybe, you know, maybe she learned how to read from the learning center. Maybe. Well, what was the, what was the comment that we had the other day about World War 11? It's because she was educated at the learning center and they only know how to count up to 10, which is. Explains the World War 11 quote. Uh, yeah, common sense. It's common sense to. If the population expands, you expand the court. Look, I can see the argument, I don't agree with it, but I can see the argument about expanding the jurisdictions or the districts of congressional people. Like, I get that 435. They capped it out at 435 because that's the amount of desks that would fit in the room. And, and that's population has grown. 435 Congress members hasn't actually grown. The Senate obviously doesn't make sense, but the Supreme Court. Okay, that's a ridiculous argument, but whatever. I mean, what, what do we expect, what do we expect from, from that? Um, let's see. All right, coming up next here on official business, we've got Connecticut Attorney General William Tongue on his attempt to override federal law by banning ice from wearing masks. Because they have to. Because libs are crazy and will dox people the first chance they get. But here is this attorney from Connecticut.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tongue
We are sovereign in this state. This is the sovereign state of Connecticut. That is why we have a state supreme court. That is why we have state laws. That's why we have a capitol. That's why we have a legislature, a governor, an attorney general, constitutional officers. Because Connecticut gets to decide how Connecticut wants to live. And we get to pass laws to reflect our values and how we want to live. And we get to pass laws to keep our people safe.
Joe Bob
I actually. Hold on, pause right here. We'll let him finish up. But I love it when libs do the backflip into local control. Now he's gonna make an argument for something that doesn't fall under local control because of. We mentioned at the beginning of the show the supremacy Clause. But I do, I love this sentiment. Let's keep that going. Yes, Connecticut gets to make Connecticut's rules. Yes, that is how the country was designed. So sure. Now let him continue on and ruin the point.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tongue
That is an unremarkable proposition of constitutional law. It is called the police power. It has been around for 250 years and even before that. It is a power that states have as sovereigns. We are joined together by our consent in a federation known as the United States of America. Right. A federation of 50 sovereign states. And we have never, ever, ever delegated to the federal government the right to hurt people in our state.
Joe Bob
See? Okay, all right, all right. I do. I appreciate the effort, cuz. It is a good effort. He actually makes a pitch that I agree with. Yes, states should act individually, but also the federal government is there to enact the supreme law of the land. You didn't. Does he think that ICE coming in is Connecticut saying, hey, please come in and attack random people? No. Okay. I don't know. That's silly. Speaking of silly, we got Woke Wednesday. Coming up after the break, tptpsa.com is the email address. If you have any thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, send it there or leave a comment wherever it is that you happen to be watching this. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away. It was good. This was really good.
Mayor Zamdam
Yeah,
Joe Bob
that's what I wanted to hear.
Mayor Zamdam
Get it done.
Joe Bob
Could someone pass the broccoli? Hey, I, I can't wait to do this. I, I can't, like, I'm. I. Gosh, I simultaneously don't want my kids to grow anymore because I love them so much at the age they are now. And I'm very excited to, like, pull family dinner table pranks, like when, you know, the first boyfriend or girlfriend comes over before dinner, after we pray, because that's. That actually is the thing that we do. But then as a part of the Tylefi family dinner gathering, we all get up and say the Pledge of Allegiance, which is not something that we do every night before dinner, but we'll, like, do that in front of the boyfriend, girlfriend just to see what happens. I'm excited for dinner table pranks. I like this. This is a good, good, good, good, solid prank. It's unfortunate that happened to that phone. I don't think that's going to be usable anymore. But, but maybe that's what. Maybe it wasn't a prank. Maybe he actually was conducting nefarious business at the dinner table and needed to destroy the evidence. All right. Hey, I'm talking too much. TPTPPC.com is the email address. It is Wednesday, so that means it's time for Woke Wednesday. This particular offering of Woke Wednesday is less woke in the traditional sense, more of a hatred Wednesday, which effectively is woke. Those are. Those two are synonymous Terms. This is Hatred Wednesday coming from the mayor, Zamdam who nanny, I think. I don't. TBT tbsa.com if you have any help. Help out. Pronounce pronouncing this guy's name. The Ugandan communist Islamist. I can't. I can't. Never get it. Here's him being asked a question. Hey, I know you've talked about hating Jews a lot and really been a proponent of anybody who hates Jews a lot. And your wife's not a big fan of Jews. Interestingly enough, a bunch of Jewish businesses removed from state directories. Did you have any comments on that? Here's that clip. And here's what he said. Cut 11.
Mayor Zamdam
The economic development Corporation recently removed a page promoting Israeli businesses in New York City. I'm wondering, why did that occur? And I'm wondering, does that have to do with your sort of expressed views about Israel, the rights of Palestinians? And furthermore, does this suggest any sort of shift in the city's treatment of Israeli businesses or Israeli companies in the city?
Joe Bob
I can get back to you on the specifics of that now. Next question. I. Okay, hey, you know, all the things that you've said in the past that are really derogatory against a certain group of people, those certain group of people happen to start disappearing off of the ledgers of these things. Any. Any comments on that? I can get back to you on that. I hope he does. I hope somebody follows up. Hey, you said you'd get back on this. I. I would imagine he's gonna punt into infinity just over and over again. I haven't actually been able to do my due diligence because I'm kind of an idiot. Let me get back to you on that. Geez. Holy cow. I. Yeah, that's. I mean, I. There. There's so many thoughts here. Of course, there's the thought of that's insane. And there's the thought of, what did you expect? New York City and the socialists that live there who voted this guy into office. You know, as much as I like to have fun and poke fun at the libs, we do need to discuss the red green alliance. It needs to be a more prominently noted thing, just for lack of better word, thing that's discussed in the American political discourse. The alliance between the Islamists and the communists and how that usually goes and what to watch out for and what we can expect. But again, deeper. Dive into that at a later point in time. Producer Glenn, take that down. Make a note of that. Hey, talk about the red green lines. He gave Me a thumbs up. Tptpc.com is the email address. If you like, send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. We'll be right back after the break with Mailbag. Don't go away. So, I'm super excited. I just got booked at the Indian Gaming association convention. It's a huge conference where native people and white people figure out how to take more money from Asian people. I don't. I don't frequent casinos very often, but when I do, there's a stereotype at the slot machines. There's. There's a stereotype. That's funny. That's good. All right. Hey, mailbag. Tptbusa.com is the email address. For the first time, we are one. I. I guess I haven't tracked into this too much, but we are pulling comments, as I've mentioned many times. You can email us tptpsa.com but you also, you also can leave comments. Now, I will say the comments are. There are a lot of comments. There are way more comments on social media than they are emails. So emails get your game up. But also you're much more likely to get seen in the email because the comments are in the millions, like, I kid you not. Or at the very least a hundred thousand. There's a lot of comments. Anyways, let's bring up some of the comments or at least the videos that correspond with the comments. Producer Glenn's kind enough to remind us. Oh, the kindness stick. All right, in the comment section here, Barbara says, I looked up hypocrisy and insanity. This video came up both times. Correct. Troy says, whoa. I felt scared for a moment. I thought the grandma. I thought it was Grandma Dynamite from the Flintstones episode back in the day. I don't remember that one, but I trust your opinion, Troy. Tracy says she's so senile, she doesn't know what shirt she's wearing. That actually, you know, I will grant that as a possibility. She has no idea what shirt she threw on in the morning. Charles says, there are dopes at every age. Judy says, deranged. John says, what happened to loving our country no matter who was in office? Oh, see, the problem, John, is the libs don't love the country no matter who's in office. And anytime one of those people who don't love the country gets elected into office, it actually makes things substantially worse. All right, uh, let's see. For the current. For the sake of time, let's get to. To. To. To the second email. I believe this is Sat 20. What is this video that people are count. Oh, the no Kings protest. The no Kings protesters that stood up and cheered for the king. Lawrence says libs are all hypocrites. Shocker, Sean said. And all the ones who didn't stand, you're fired. I like that. I wish President Trump had the ability and congressional authority to do that. Unfortunately, he does not. Let's see. Well, I can't read some of these commenters names, but let's see. Everyone's still seated. Oh, interesting. Everyone's still seated. As a traitor. I don't know if I agree with that one, but that's silly. Hey, TPT@tbs.com is the email address. That's all the time we have for today. We'll see you tomorrow. Same time, same place. God bless America.
Host: Joe Bob
Date: May 6, 2026
Platform: Real America’s Voice | iHeartPodcasts
In this lively episode of “Turning Point Tonight,” host Joe Bob returns to his lighter roots, dedicating a significant portion of the show to satirical commentary and mockery of California’s gubernatorial debate and progressive politics. Joe Bob also covers recent political wins for President Trump, news about immigration and AI regulation, and wraps up with his signature Mailbag segment. Throughout, the tone is irreverent, combative, and distinctly anti-left, consistent with Real America’s Voice’s branding as “real news, honest views.”
(Segment starts ~01:10)
“Since there's so many libs, they're just splitting the vote 19 different ways. And so it's very possible the two conservatives could win. That’s why Eric Swalwell got kicked out.” (03:37)
Antonio Villaraigosa’s answers (cut 6):
Asked for “one word to describe Gavin Newsom’s performance,” Villaraigosa answers “performative,” and later “admirable,” which Joe Bob ridicules as classic political “word salad.”
“That is the quintessential dumbest thing. Word. I need to think of a word. What's the word that he just said? Let me tweak that just a little bit.” (06:17)
Tom Steyer, described as an ‘escaped mental patient’:
Steyer calls for accountability of ICE agents and federal authorities “coming to California and breaking the law,” which Joe Bob lampoons with constitutional arguments:
“Breaking California law that you made up, doesn't trump federal law. There's this crazy thing in the Constitution called the Supremacy Clause.” (08:42)
Katie Porter, satirical focus:
Porter is mocked as “the Batwoman” famed for her “dumb little whiteboard,” and Joe Bob tears into her personal narrative as a struggling Californian:
“Before she entered Congress, she spent eight years teaching bankruptcy law at University of California, Irvine… making a poultry [sic] measly $286,000 in total compensation.” (11:11)
and
“She really understands the struggle. The very, very, uh, well paid university professor, which by the way, how much work is that actually, who lives on campus for free.” (12:00)
He also highlights her abusive boss reputation and temperament:
“[The] only problem that they have with President Trump is his temperament… the only argument they have against him, in many cases, is his temperament. So then to sit there and say, I can't believe we're discussing temperament. That's the only thing you dumb dumbs actually care about.” (13:50)
Porter on state policy:
“All of the people who are here illegally are also Californians. And I will say this. I agree with that sentiment, as I am also a Porter…” (16:42)
On universal healthcare for undocumented immigrants:
“Yes, yes. And that's, by the way, what I think Californians deserve as answers to these questions.” (17:56, Katie Porter)
Redemptive Moment:
Lib-on-lib critique: Former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra tries to blame Trump for California’s high cost of living, but another (liberal) challenger calls him out with facts.
“California has had the highest gas prices and highest cost of living way before this didn't happen circa February 2026.” (20:34)
(Starts ~24:11 “Get to The Point” segment)
Immigration enforcement:
Joe Bob reacts to Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin’s comments about quietly increasing deportations:
“I love, I love winning. And there's a part of me that likes enjoying the win… But I'd rather have a million people get deported. And they do it in a way that is still legal.” (24:30)
Trump primary wins:
Reviews Trump’s endorsed candidates’ strong performances, especially in Indiana and Ohio, suggesting “the Trump endorsement magic... continues.”
“This feels like, I don't know, still [Trump] has a really strong grip. Which is, which is like, good to know…” (26:40)
Changes to ICE training:
Applauds more thorough training for ICE, even if it means less gloating or publicity—“I care about effectiveness.”
AI regulation & legal controversies:
Discusses Pennsylvania’s lawsuit against an AI company for a chatbot posing as a doctor:
“A state investigator posing as a patient seeking psychiatric treatment interacted with a chat bot named Emil, who claimed to have attended medical school...” (29:24)
Expresses nuanced skepticism about the government’s ability to effectively regulate AI given technical gaps and global arms race:
“You clearly need to know way more than the companies to be able to regulate it effectively, which, if you knew more than the companies, you'd be working at the companies because the financial incentive is so much greater.” (30:18)
Obama-Related Satire:
Joe Bob jokes about Obama’s library requiring ID, quipping:
“Why are the Obamas so against women and minorities, black people specifically entering their library. But I guess we'll find out in June whether or not they reverse course on that very, very racist policy.” (32:23)
Founding Fathers’ Accents:
Light-hearted discussion about the Founding Fathers possibly having British accents (“I don't want to think about... the signers of the Constitution saying, pound sand King of England going right o signed off on this Constitution...” – 36:08)
(Starts ~38:16)
Ilhan Omar on Supreme Court expansion:
Joe Bob lampoons Omar’s suggestion that population growth justifies more justices:
“Can she read? Like, I don’t… can she read like full-blown, like the literacy?” (39:01)
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong on federal/state sovereignty:
Joe Bob appreciates states’ rights rhetoric—until he argues against federal supremacy with ICE.
“Yes, states should act individually, but also the federal government is there to enact the supreme law of the land.” (42:31)
Woke Wednesday / Hatred Wednesday (Mayor Zamdam):
Examines NYC’s alleged removal of Israeli businesses from directories.
“Hey, you know, all the things that you've said in the past that are really derogatory against a certain group of people, those certain group of people happen to start disappearing off of the ledgers of these things. Any. Any comments on that? I can get back to you on that.” (46:11)
Foreshadows future discussion on the “red-green alliance” (Islamists & communists) in American politics.
(Starts ~47:50)
“She’s so senile, she doesn’t know what shirt she’s wearing.” (Mailbag)
“There are dopes at every age.”
Joe Bob on show format:
“In a tumultuous world in difficult political climates, you need to leave some room to laugh. So that's what we're gonna do here for the first little bit of this.” (01:43)
On lib debates:
“Can you imagine making a commercial so bad that we play it for free for the sole purpose of mocking it?” (11:11)
On AI regulation:
“You clearly need to know way more than the companies to be able to regulate it effectively, which, if you knew more than the companies, you'd be working at the companies...” (30:18)
Audience engagement:
“TPTBUSA.com is the email address. If your emails are gross, disgusting, vile and downright nasty, the chances of us reading it on the show actually go up substantially.” (02:15)
| Segment/Highlight | Timestamp (MM:SS) | |--------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------| | Satirical intro, debate mockery premise | 01:10–03:40 | | Villaraigosa one-word answer & debate mockery | 05:50–06:50 | | Tom Steyer ICE comments & Supremacy Clause | 08:06–08:42 | | Katie Porter satirical analysis (career, ad) | 10:41–13:50 | | Porter on illegals being Californians | 16:13–16:42 | | California bankruptcy “race to the bottom” | 18:03 | | Becerra vs other libs on cost of living | 20:03–20:34 | | Get to the Point – Immigration and Trump primaries | 24:11–27:00 | | AI lawsuit & regulation | 29:57–32:23 | | Obama library & ID satire | 32:23 | | Founding Fathers/British accent gag | 36:08 | | Ilhan Omar on expanding Supreme Court | 38:16–39:01 | | CT AG William Tong on state sovereignty/ICE | 40:52–42:31 | | NYC mayor/Israel businesses (Woke Wednesday) | 45:49–46:11 | | Mailbag & snarky feedback | 47:50–End |
Joe Bob’s delivery is caustic, irreverent, and often personal, using ridicule to critique liberal figures and left-wing policy positions. The show balances satirical takedowns with some serious conservative talking points – especially on immigration, federalism, and skepticism toward both government and tech power. It reinforces an “insider” vibe for listeners who already share these views but also maintains high audience engagement with frequent invitations for participation—especially if it’s “disgusting, vile, and nasty.”
For listeners new or unfamiliar with the personalities and issues discussed, expect:
