Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Media Mockery: "Tourism in Somalia?!"

• CNN’s Report on Increasing Somali Tourism
  • Joe Bob expresses disbelief and sarcasm at CNN’s recent article promoting Somalia as a tourist destination.
  • Key stats mentioned (04:16):
    • 10,000 tourists visited Somalia in 2024 (a 50% increase from the previous year, but still a minuscule number compared to global destinations).
    • US and UK government advisories warn travelers against visiting due to kidnappings, militant attacks, piracy, and humanitarian crises.
  • Points out logistical and safety issues: travelers are required to stay in secured green zones and be accompanied by armed convoys.
  • Suggests that the tourism numbers are less about thrill-seeking travelers and more due to Somali-Americans visiting their homeland, particularly referencing communities in Minneapolis.
  • Notable quote:
    • "Maybe the 50% increase in travel to Somalia is not avid travelers... Maybe it's a bunch of people that we imported into the country... simply returning home to the country of their actual allegiance." — Joe Bob (12:03)
  • Overall: Host sees coverage as an example of mainstream media’s detachment from reality and laughs at its framing.

2. Interview: Savannah Hernandez on Modern Journalism

(Interview begins ~18:44)

a) AI-Generated Biography & Journalistic Identity

• Joe Bob shares with Sav an AI-generated biography (via Grok, X platform’s AI), highlighting her reputation for "fearless frontline reporting, conservative perspectives, and truth-seeking."
• Savannah’s reaction:
  • Appreciates the AI’s accuracy and humor, jokes about using it for her personal bio.
  • "AI does a better job of hyping me than I do. Be right back—I’m going to go update my entire bio." (20:51)

b) Personal Safety vs. Storytelling

• Sav discusses the increased hostility she faces as a conservative journalist, especially when wearing a press badge.
• Notes a shift: the left now targets independent/conservative media more aggressively than before.
• Describes a recent protest in New York where she was insulted for working at Turning Point USA.
• Her philosophy:
  • Shows up, records neutrally, and lets actions speak for themselves: "This wasn’t me. I was standing here doing nothing. This is on y’all." (22:46)

c) How to Choose Stories & Locations

• She credits “God’s guiding” and going where mainstream media is NOT looking.
• Uses gut instincts, tips from the public, and contrarian strategy—to cover ignored but significant stories.
• "Never let them know your next move, my friends." — Savannah (24:36)

d) On Relationships with Politicians

• Firm stance: Do not be friends with politicians.
• Criticizes mainstream media’s claim of objectivity while actively opposing conservatives (e.g., Trump).
• "I just try to be really honest. I try to not be friends and buddy-buddy with people in politics... I criticize the Trump administration more because I like them and want them to do better." (26:31)
• Emphasizes holding all power to account, even those she admires.

e) Reporting Process & Viral Moments

• While some reports are thoroughly prepped, many of her biggest stories happen by chance—“just being curious and present."
• Example: Uncovering $14,000 tax refunds to illegal immigrants by stumbling onto the right place at the right time.
• Points out that what’s normalized in some cities (e.g., public drug use) is very jarring to outsiders and is part of why certain stories go viral.

f) Viral Clips vs. Hard News

• Discusses how her street interviews (“Is it gay to date a trans woman?”) sometimes outperform deeply reported stories.
• Views it as positive: "It goes to show that culturally... the average man is like, this is crazy. Let's stop pretending that female penises exist... It just cuts directly through this fake nonsense narrative that we're constantly being fed." (32:55)

---

3. Debating Cultural and Policy Issues

a) Ethics in the Workplace – Firing Employees for Affairs

(Segment begins 39:43)

• Joe Bob supports the decision of a business owner who fired two employees for having an affair while both were in relationships.
• Argues that personal conduct reflects work ethic and company values.
• Notable quote:
  • “If you’re going to cheat on your significant other... do you think they’re cheating at work? The answer is yes.” (40:22)
• Invites audience insight for discussion.

b) Marijuana Laws: Rollback on THC Levels

• Discusses upcoming legislation that would restrict THC levels in marijuana products.
• Dismisses economic arguments against the restriction, citing his belief that cultural health outweighs financial impacts.
• "It is worth it to maintain... a culture of people who aren't... potted up out of their mind." (44:04)
• Seeks audience feedback on merits/ramifications of the change.

c) SNAP Benefit Reforms

(Segment begins 50:03)

• Analyzes new work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents (raising the age to 64) and revised dependency thresholds for SNAP (food stamp) benefits.
• Challenges liberal media criticism, questioning if many on benefits should be receiving them at all:
  • "Should they have been getting them in the first place?" (52:48)
  • “Oh my gosh. This able-bodied single 27 year old man is gonna lose his food stamps. Good. Why did he have food stamps to begin with?” (53:00)

---

4. “It’s Friday” Segment: Humorous Internet Clip Reactions

(Segment begins 59:20+)

• Feature: Producer Glenn shares never-before-seen Internet clips for Joe Bob and Savannah’s spontaneous reaction.

a) Gerrymandering Parody

• Skit compares apartment "territory" to political districting, perfectly capturing the absurdity and complexity of real-life gerrymandering.
• Savannah: "I feel like if we wanted to explain what gerrymandering was, that video was actually very educational." (61:40)
• Both agree a "randomized" process might be fairer than current political manipulations.

b) UN Home Security Satire

• Video parodies the UN’s ineffectiveness via "home security"—observers take notes on burglars, issue sanctions, eventually invite burglar to join their council.
• Joe Bob: “People actually think the United Nations does a thing.” (64:13)
• Savannah observes that the skit is "quite gracious" to the UN, as the organization often makes things worse, not just ineffective.

c) Commentary on Power Structures (World Economic Forum)

• Both share their experiences at Davos, noting that many "insiders" don’t take WEF’s utopian visions seriously; most people are "just there for the job."

d) Cat Video Compilation

• Segment ends playfully with commentary on internet cat videos, humorously comparing cat chaos to protester/activist behavior.
• Joe Bob: “How emblematic is our house cats with liberals? ...sometimes the only thing cats do is just ruin it... how libs treat the United States of America.” (69:47)
• Savannah: "If I want to deal with that type of behavior, I can just go to my regular liberal protest and watch them throw tantrums in the street." (70:36)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “Mainstream media, CNN specifically, is a laughing stock because it deserves to be.” — Joe Bob (12:53)

• “Don’t be friends with politicians.” — Savannah (26:31)
• “Some of the biggest stories that I’ve covered... I really do just stumble upon a story.” — Savannah (29:24)
• “If you are a man pretending to be a woman, you’re not a woman. Like, you’re just gay. And if you like that, then you’re gay, and congratulations, that’s your sexuality. But let’s stop pretending that you’re straight.” — Savannah (33:09)
• “The UN pretends all of the countries... are all the same and they have equal say, equal [weight]... I just, I don’t know, I can’t handle it.” — Joe Bob (65:11)
• “Modern day society is like high school... a lot of these groups and clubs don’t actually do anything.” — Savannah (65:50)
• “If I want to deal with that type of behavior, I can just go to my regular liberal protest and watch them throw tantrums in the street.” — Savannah (70:36)

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This episode delivers an unflinching critique of mainstream media spin, celebrates independent reporting, and tackles sensitive cultural issues with both gravity and irreverence.

So so don't miss out on all of the exclusive content online only at the Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel. What I'd like to talk about first before we get to a fascinating conversation with Savannah Hernandez, which I've prepared her none for, which is going to be fun and interesting and I'm excited for you to to see a different side of I think Turning Point Tonight's favorite guest before that I thought this was really, really interesting. CNN put out a big long article about a vacation destination that has been often neglected by tourists, but now has had a resurgence in tourism over the last couple years. I kid you not. CNN wrote an article about why it is a good tourist destination to go to Somalia. Now I know you're all rushing to your computers, calling your travel agents. I gotta book a trip to Somalia, says no one, by the way. But just to give you some context as to what the libs are saying, CNN went on this big whole thing about how Somalia is become a tourist destination. They start with by saying 10,000 tourists visited Somalia in 2024, a 50% increase from the year prior. Which by the way, is not good numbers. Like we're not. It's not like we're talking like a million people that go to like Hawaii, for example. The number has doubled. It is increased by 50%. Congratulations. It's still only 10,000 people. Why CNN are you trying to push Somalia as a tourist destination upon us? An adventure company called I'm Not Gonna Name the Adventure Company ran a group of 13 trips to Mogadishu in 2024 compared to just two. Wow, they're really stepping up their tourist game. Somalia also launched a new e visa system in, in 2025. September 2025, to simplify entry in case you or your family would like to take a trip to the third world hellhole that is Somalia. That. Now this is all in spite of the fact that the United States government has classified Somalia as a level four do not travel. The United Kingdom also warns of high threats of kidnapping. Al Shabaab militants have carried out deadly attacks in Mogadishu since early 2005. And visitors also must stay in a secure green zone and Green zone and travel with armed convoys. But none of that should deter you from experiencing the wonder and delight of the third world hell hole that is Somalia. There's also a humanitarian crisis. Over 550,000 people have been displaced in 2024 due to conflict. And CNN calls it climate disasters, but just bad weather effectively. And by the way, that actually does matter when you're in a third world hellhole. And the building not to any sort of code. Yeah, they may actually collapse in a storm. Nearly 3 million people have already been internally displaced. And there's a bunch of piracy concerns and threats to safety in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Against all odds though, CNN is saying tourism is rising despite a decade of conflict and active government travel warnings. Now they go on to say why they think travel is resurging. They think it's extreme travel. Vacation sinkers want, seekers want variety in their countries that they've traveled to in pursuit of personal, personal ambitions to reach all nations. They also note that it's a relative stability in the, in the face of fierce fighting over the course of the previous decade. Somalia is relatively stable now, which makes it a fantastic tourist destination. They also mentioned the political fragmentations mean that, well, you actually these places are very, very safe to go to again in Somalia, but just don't go to any of those other places in the bad parts of the country. Interestingly enough, some of the quotes are very funny. Still walking on the beach felt safe. Okay, I'm not sure that's a good bar or a standard to take to, but I guess if that's the the only thing that you can say, so be it. Why am I talking about this? What is actually going on? Why are there more people visiting Somalia than ever before? Why has the tourism to somalia increased by 50%? And why are, why is CNN trying to celebrate this as if it is a good thing? What is actually driving it? Because I don't buy the fact that normal everyday people are like, hey honey, you know where I think we should go on vacation? Mogadishu. I think any sane person who understands the volatility in areas like Somalia would go, no, I'd rather not. But what is driving the vacationing or tourism or let's just say travel to Somalia? Well, there's this video clip that actually might give some insight into that. A population that exists among us may be the key and only driver of people visiting Somalia. Cut one.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Somalia. Somalia.

[Joe Bob]

Hiran State Mauisle Mawisley early voting was November 4th.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

I need your vote.

[Savannah Hernandez]

I need you.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Oh.

[Joe Bob]

Oh. Maybe that's what's driving visiting Somalia. Maybe the fact that we imported a bunch of Somalians specifically to the Minnesota Minneapolis area. Maybe those people are just going back to visit family or to visit the homeland that their allegiance is actually pledged to. I don't know, cnn. Maybe people aren't trying to vacation to Somalia. Maybe the 50% increase in travel to Somalia is not avid travelers who really want to set apart personal ambition goal of reaching all the countries. Maybe it's not people that want to possibly feel safe walking on the beach. Maybe it's not folks who are looking for an adventurous getaway. Maybe it's a bunch of people that we imported into the country for some reason who are simply returning home to the country of their actual allegiance and coming back and forth because we have no standards when it comes to our border. I don't know why CNN decided to publish this. It's so easily ridiculous and easily mockable. 10,000 tours is not a big number and the increase in 50%, I can almost guarantee you, is specifically due to the fact that a bunch of Somalia now lives here and they pledge their allegiance to Somalia and they wave Somali flags when trying to get elected to US Public office and still hold ties to their homeland, which I don't necessarily think is the worst thing in the world. But when you try to not assimilate to the culture of the United States and instead bring the culture of a third world hellhole here, I don't know why we're supposed to pretend that that's a good thing. I don't know if this is a spicy take or not, but I think the article that I saw when it flashed up on my CNN headline, consider visiting Somalia. It is a great tourist destination was so ridiculous and absurd. I don't know. We're just curious about it. I think you would be curious about it too. And further furthering the point, mainstream media, CNN specifically, is a laughing stock because it deserves to be. We got a lot of great stuff coming up here in Turning Point tonight. Going to do an extended talk with Savannah Hernandez, show favorite. Turning Point Tonight favorite fan favorite I would hope. Gonna ask her some questions more broadly about what it is that she does, how she does it and her takes on whether or not it's a good thing for journalists to be friends with politicians. You're going to be really interested to hear what she has to say. Tptpsa.com is the email address. Also go subscribe to our Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel and leave a comment there or send us an email. Tptpsa.com is Somalia on your list of destinations that are must go to bucket list destinations or is it not? Tptvsa.com is the email so you leave a comment on any of your social media platforms. We would love to see those. We will be right back after the break to talk to Turning Point contributor and Frontlines reporter Savannah Hernandez. Don't go away. We'll be right back after this.

[Rodney Williams]

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

It is time to welcome back a show favorite, a fan favorite, Sav Hernandez. Van Hernandez Frontlines Reporter Turning Point contributor First of all, thanks for getting the memo Glenn sends out. Producer Glenn sends out a a wardrobe suggestion every day. And GL clearly we we've decided to match effectively for today.

[Savannah Hernandez]

So we're rocking the the, the Dwayne the Rock Johnson. You know, when he has like fanny pack. That's the look we went for today. So I hope everybody's enjoying it.

[Joe Bob]

Uncle the Rock, as I call him, because we're Samoan and probably related somehow if you go back far enough, Sav so you don't know what we're talking about because it's a Friday. I decided to have a little bit of fun because, well, I don't know, everybody likes Sav and wants to hear from her and wants to know more about her. So I did this fun thing. I went to Grok Elon Musk's X platforms AI and said what would be some good interview questions for Savannah Hernandez? And lo and behold, it knew exactly who you were and and actually spit out some interesting questions that I actually would like your take on. First of all, it started with this bio. Savannah Hernandez, often stylized as Sav or Savannah with one end, is an independent journalist and political commentator known for her fearless frontline reporting on protests, rallies and controversial events, often aligning with conservative perspectives and emphasizing truth seeking. So first of all, how do you like that as an AI bio for you?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Yeah, I was going to say AI does a better job of hyping me than I do. Be right back. I'm going to go update my entire bio and just ask AI to hype me up here. I kind of hate how good AI is in the modern day. But also, thanks, thanks Grok. I'll take it.

[Joe Bob]

Well, it also it continues and says her background includes journalism degree from New Mexico State University. Skeptical about that. Not a big fan of New Mexico State specifically, but you know, we'll let that slide experience with outlets like Infowars and appearances on Fox News and Newsmax. So it, it knows the whole thing about you, which is either very cool or very scary. So there's that. This is actually interesting. I am curious to know this too. I'm going to read verbatim from Grok here and asking Savannah some questions. Frontline reporting also often includes unpredictable, dangerous and ethical type ropes. Can you describe a time where you had to Balance your personal safety. And we've talked about this quite a bit in the last couple days, and the want and need to capture the full story.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Okay. Very professional question that I wasn't ready for. Thanks, Brock. But, yeah, I mean, I feel like that's every single, single time I go outside at this point. And we've kind of talked about that extensively, about how left wingers are now looking at my press badge and viewing the name Turning Point USA and coming after me for it, whereas that was really never an issue for me before. I feel like the left wing has gone crazy and absolutely insane, as we have all seen. So I want to say, like, every single time I go outside at this point and I wear a press badge, because obviously, I want to show people that I'm pressed right away, of course. And then once people are curious as to who I'm pressed for, they then go a little bit insane. I think we saw this best during the no Kings protest, which was the last time I was in New York. This was a couple weeks back. You know, you had people come up to me and tell me that I was a token brown person. And Charlie Kirk only hired me because of my skin tone because he found out I worked for Turning Point usa. So, you know, it's always an interesting balance. And I was actually talking to one of my friends about this last night because I was like, look, there is a fine line between journalism and activism. And I do very much, like, I still love the United States of America. This is still my country. And I'm focused on highlighting the issues that do impact me. So how do I kind of differentiate the personal and then the. And also the story? And I think the easiest way to do that is by simply being there and neutrally recording what I'm seeing on the ground and letting people decide for themselves, which is what I have always done. And then when the crazies come up to me, I'm like, okay, this wasn't me. I was standing here doing nothing. This is on y'. All. So that's the differentiation there.

[Joe Bob]

That's super interesting and good to know. I'm going to characterize this question and not ask the professional state by, but another question that spit up. And I'm actually curious about, and I'm sure our audience is curious about this. How do you decide where to go and what to cover? Because there is a certain amount of you got to be in the right place at the right time. You somehow have a knack for consistently being in the right place and the right in the right time. How do you do that?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Honestly, I just feel like God has guided me to this profession, and so he helps me out a lot with that. But also, it's a combination between just, I feel like what, you know, someone say luck or blessings. The other thing would be just me following the news cycle and basically going the opposite direction of the entire media. So, for example, and I would have loved to have been on the ground for it this week, and I just wasn't. But Dearborn, Michigan, there was a protest going on there. I kind of highlighted that to our team. We did have somebody on the ground ground for that. The coverage was great. Or the North Carolina ICE raids that are currently happening right now. I want to say that Fox News was really the only on the ground big platform that I saw that's been on the ground and location there. You know, I have my own mission that I'm on for front lines this week, so I couldn't be at either of those locations, but typically, that's where I would be. Just the opposite of where the media is and what the media is focused in on. Never let them know your next move, my friends. All right. That's the mantra. That's the vibe.

[Joe Bob]

Well, so, because it. I mean, again, peek behind the curtain here, there's like, a process where you got to, like, be able to convey, hey, I think this is happening here. And there has to be a lot of trust on your hunches and your gut, effectively, because that's what people are. That's. That's what the approval process kind of necessitates, right?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Yeah, definitely. And, you know, Turning point's been great because they have given me a lot of trust. And also, I always say this, that my platform belongs to the American people, and they are oftentimes giving me a lot of leads and a lot of kind of tips on what they want to see covered. And whatever I cover that the American people are interested in usually goes very viral because, again, the American people are interested in it as opposed to me or, you know, like the mainstream media tries to do, force feeding people a narrative that they're not really interested in.

[Joe Bob]

So on that line, again, another grok question that I thought was. Was pretty interesting. It basically, and I'm characterizing it here, is asking how you. You find the balance between your personal feelings towards somebody in power and what the story is and asking them about that question. We've had conversations. I'll let you tell us about it, because we've had conversations about Savannah's relationship with actual People who have actual power and. Or lack thereof. But you want to elaborate on that, because I think I don't. I think that's interesting.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Absolutely. And I mean, I think that is, again, one of the balancing acts of journalism. One of my main rules is, like, don't be friends with politicians. And I feel like, you know, it's hard to be, though, especially if you're in D.C. like Anna Paulina Luna. I love Anna Paulina Luna. And I think that when I do really like somebody, I try to be very honest about that, because unlike the media. And this is why people hate the media, because they try to pretend, like, oh, we're unbiased. But also, Donald Trump is a Nazi. And, you know, factually, everybody hates him. Don't hate him factually. The entire nation does, though, and maybe you should, too. Like, that's the entire media, and that's why people hate them. And so I just try to be really honest. I try to not be friends and buddy buddy with people that are in politics. And I try to be really neutral, like, even with people who I do like. Like, sometimes I feel like I criticize the Trump administration, for example, more because I like them and because I want them to do better and be the best. So it's like, okay, what do we need to focus on criticizing? Right? Because if something is going well, like, absolutely, we're going to talk about it, we're going to celebrate. But also, it's like, I'm not here to be a hype man. I'm here to, you know, really highlight and focus in on what the American people are focused in on. So oftentimes it's like, okay, let's take a peek at what needs to be critiqued, what needs to be done better, and what the American people, again, are focused in on.

[Joe Bob]

Well, and that was one of the first things. I'm glad you said it, because I was like, I don't know if this is like a public thing that she talks about, but one of the first things you told me is like, I'm not friends with politicians. And I feel like that is super admirable. I also have felt that sort of sensibility kind of creep into how I don't want to give too many specifics on this detail, but there was a person that I knew pretty well that was with a person that is actually in an elected position. And for some reason, I don't know if it was like, the. The sav mode kicked in, but I said hi to the person I knew and, like, I don't think I was rude, but I didn't say hi to the person.

[Savannah Hernandez]

I got to go. I got to go.

[Joe Bob]

We had. And, And. And I do. I feel like that sense of responsibility, and I also. I wouldn't even call myself a journalist, really. I kind of just am a commentator on social and cultural and political things. And so I don't. I'm not even getting like, the hard scoop on anything. But I don't know, I. I, like, feel that, and I think that's a. That's super important, especially in the day and age of, like, genuineness and being able to trust people with their opinion. So I very much respect that in all that, you do anything that. Anything that you think would be fun for the audience to know about your line of work that we haven't already touched on. If not, that's totally fine. I'm just curious. Broadly speaking, you're like, by the way, this is how this works, and nobody knows that's how it works. Again, if you don't have that ready and prepared, I know I'm throwing this on you. Feel free to feel like we can move on to the video section. But I don't know. You just open floor.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Sure. I think that a lot of people probably think I put a lot of prep work into my videos, and for a lot of them, I do. For, you know, some of the reports, I do like to be really well researched. So I do put a lot of time and effort onto that. Like, oftentimes when I am reporting, everything that I'm talking about is off the top of my head. The statistics, the facts, the timeline regarding, like, the immigration crisis in New York, for example. Other times, I really do just stumble upon a story, and that has been some of the biggest stories that I've covered. For example, when I caught Jack Hewitt offering $14,000 tax refunds to illegal immigrants in New York, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. And I was outside of Roosevelt Hotel, which was one of the largest migrant hotels in New York City at the time. And I was kind of just walking around, observing, using my communication skills to go and talk to people and see what was going on on the scene. I'm just a curious person, Joe Bob. And I think that's how I found some of my best stories. They weren't planned. It was simply me being out on the streets of America and going and seeing what average Americans are living through. And I think that's why a lot of my stories resonate with people, because it truly is what the average New Yorker, the average, you know, Angelino, the average Texan is living through every single day. And it kind of goes unnoticed by them. Right, because it's normalized. I have a lot of friends who live in New York, and I will actually, I. This might have even been you, Joe. Bob. I was in California and I was filming this crazy guy screaming on the street. I don't know if it was you or one of my other friends in California.

[Joe Bob]

It wasn't screaming on the street, if that's what you're asking. I wasn't. I. I can confirm that.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Not that time. Not that time. But no, it was just kind of like, I never would have thought to film that because I live in California and I see this so often. I see crackheads screaming at little kids so often that it's normal to me and I would never think to film it. But you are. And then it goes super viral. So I think as well, it's just like, you know, a new set of eyes. And this is like San Francisco, for example. The reason why my footage went so viral with that is because I was like, I'm sorry, is it not weird to anybody else that people are out here with needles hanging out of their arm as children walk past it? Is it normal for you guys to feel like your streets are a haunted house and every single street is scarier than the next as you're walking down? Like, is that. Am I crazy or is that just normal for you guys? And so I think that's what it is. It's like having a fresh pair of eyes. And, yeah, like, that's some behind the scenes that a lot of people might not know is.

[Joe Bob]

Yeah, that's. That's super interesting because, yeah, I think, I think, think in certain very deep blue enclaves, a lot of that stuff, unfortunately is normalized and people forget, oh, hey, this is crazy. The fact that we see people shooting up on the. On public transportation is freaking crazy. And I like that. A fresh perspective on eyes. Last thing. And I'm just curious about your. Your thoughts on this kind of culturally and directionally. You've obviously had huge stories that are very, very important and impactful. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, I think one of the biggest, most viral clips that you have on Instagram is street interviews asking, is it gay to Drake date a trans woman? And does that, as a person who wants to see change in the right direction, does it worry you at all that sometimes those types of clips, even though they're important and interesting, get a sometimes bigger viewage viewership than like, the super important hard facts reporting that you do on the streets. Is that concerning? How do you feel about that?

[Savannah Hernandez]

I love it. I love that that blows up the way that it does. And let me explain why it goes to show that culturally. And keep in mind, too, that I put this video out during a time in which we were told that transgenderism was all the rage. That it really is, you know, and trans women, or, you know, men pretending to be women, love to say this all the time during Deb. They're like, I'm dating the exact same men that you are, sweetie. Pointing to, like, some beautiful woman. And the woman's like, okay, if you say so, guy. And so it was just, you know, I put this clip out and it went viral during a time in which the trans nonsense was being pushed on everybody. And so I actually appreciated that. That is one of my most viral clips, not only because it's hilarious and I do enjoy, you know, dabbling in the culture sometimes, but because it showed that the average man is like, this is crazy. Let's stop pretending that female penises exist. If you are a man pretending to be a woman, you're not a woman. Like, you're just gay. And if you like that, then you're gay, and congratulations, that's your sexuality. But let's stop pretending that you're straight. And it was just men specifically, just being so truthful and honest and blunt about it. And the American people loved it. And again, it just like cuts directly through this fake nonsense narrative that we're constantly being fed. And so I kind of do love when that type of cultural, more funny video does break through.

[Joe Bob]

Good. No, that's. I am super appreciative of that perspective that sometimes it concerns me a little bit, like, hey, are we really paying attention to the right things? But that's a. That's a. That is a great perspective to have on stuff that does go viral. Sav, thanks. I appreciate getting to getting in your head a little bit. Even though producer Glenn is off in the side pulling his hair out thinking, God, I gotta chop that last part off because it's gonna get banned on YouTube. But it's okay. The Internet will still see all of this footage at some. In some way shape or form. Saville actually be back in a couple segments to watch some. It's Friday. We're gonna have some fun. We're gonna unseen videos.

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

Tptpsa.com is the email if you'd like to send your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on this next segment because I think it's actually pretty interesting from a from a moral and ethical standpoint. I have strong feelings and I'm curious to see what yours are as well. You can also go subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can leave comments, you can watch exclusive content that we just can't fit into our very short and fleeting time here. Unreal. America's voices each and every night. So go to our Turning Point tonight. YouTube channel, our Facebook page, Instagram page X account. Just type in J O B O B. You'll be able to find either me or the show, which is where all of the social media clips go. In case you missed a segment of this show, you can find them all there. I thought this was a really interesting peek into the culture of how things are done. And I'll say right off the bat, I wholeheartedly agree with this decision that has caused some division, especially on the Internet. But again, I repeat myself. The Internet is just constant division all the time. It came when Natalie Dawson, a 32 year old co founder and president of Cardone Ventures, fired two employees immediately after discovering something in their personal life. What she've discovered is that two of her employees were having an affair while both were in relationships to other people. I already said this, I'm not going to bury the lead here. I wholeheartedly agree with that. There are people online though that are not taking the same tone, the same approach that I have. They've been saying, well, people have personal lives outside of work and they should be able to do whatever it is they want. And what does that have an effect on their actual work and what they're doing in the office place? To me, I say a lot. It tells you a lot about a person. And you don't want to have a person who has a chaotic personal life working in the business that you are working in because it obviously will affect their productivity. Now I can understand the point of like, well, this is their personal life. And yeah, that's, that's fine. Their personal life can be like, I like pizza instead of hamburgers, I drive a yellow car. Which is absurd and somewhat sociopathic in my mind. But that, that's fine. That's acceptable. If you're going to cheat on your significant other, that actually will one, impact the work that you're doing at the place that you work and two, well, gives you insight of what kind of person you are, the rationale behind it. She said if they're going to cheat on the person they are supposed to spend the rest of their life with, do you think they're cheating at work? The answer is yes. Even though the podcast host decided to snipe back of his personal life. Nope. Doesn't matter, don't care, don't buy it. It's bad. Fire those people. I'm interested in your thoughts. TBT tbsa.com obviously have strong opinions on this but that's, I don't know because I think the core fundamental values that people have in their personal lives transcend into their work life. And if that's the type of value and ethic that you have in your own personal life, what is that going to say about your work product? Probably not good things. Another thing that I have strong opinions on and this is strictly from a personal basis. So again, I'm very curious about you and your thoughts. Tptpusa.com whether you agree with this or you're wrong, uh, it doesn't matter. There's some new THC laws that are getting run up the flagpole in the United States. Legislation. The Trump administration is talking about this. Um, without getting into the specifics of the laws, there's going to be some rollback in THC percentage, content percentage in marijuana products. We're talking about weed here. That's in case you're not familiar with what THC means, I assume that you are, but that's what we're talking about. Um, there has been a lot of statistics being thrown around of what will happen if this bill gets enacted into law. If President Trump signs it into law. Uh, ABC put out a bunch of statistics. $2.8 billion in the hemp industry will be threatened for elimination. 300,000American jobs at risk, 95% of the market will be wiped out. One billion, one and a half billion in state revenue taxes will be lost if this passes. If we roll back our acceptance of marijuana, weed, thc, all of those things to which I say I don't care. I think people abusing, and I recognize that's a term that people think, oh, you can't use that with weed. I think you can. I think there are very clear effects that that have on people's lives. I think the downfall of culture, not predominantly, but in some respects due to the prevalence of mind altering substances, not only weed, but just really anything at all is not worth the advantage, financially speaking, that you get from, you know, it's not going to kneecap the economy. Yeah, it's going to be tough for some people to find different jobs in different fields. But it is worth it to maintain, or at least try to maintain a culture of people who aren't to use the phrase mitten mom to use potted up out of their mind. I recognize that's a, a, I don't know, pretty straight edge type term and probably opinion, but that's just what I think. Let me know what you think. TPTP USA.com is the rollback of THC, something that's going to benefit society at the cost of some of the financial and economic factors. And is it worth it? TBT tbsa.com Would love to hear your thoughts on both of those. We got to take a quick break because we're trying to get an extended another segment with Savannah Hernandez. We will be right back after the break. Don't go away.

Welcome back to Turning Point tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback generally through the mockery of terrible live ideas. Tptpsa.com is the email address if you'd like to send along your thoughts. Things we should be looking at, things we should take a harder look at if you have any criticisms of the show. It's okay to be [e-mail] also go subscribe to our YouTube channel, which is growing by leaps and bounds. You don't want to be the last person that's not on our YouTube channel. We also do an extra segment of the show each and every day, except for Fridays that only airs on our online platform. So go check us out on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, Instagram. Just type in J O B O B. You'll be able to find all of us, everything that we're doing on social media accounts by that. There's not a lot of Joe Bob's out there, so you should be able to find that fairly easily. I wanted to briefly talk about this. We'll keep it short and concise because I want to get Savannah Hernandez back on here to react to some videos that we've never seen and could possibly get us fired. We don't know. But this new SNAP benefits program after the government shut down, there have been some, some, some new ways of doing SNAP EBT welfare effectively for the people that are on that system. And I think some of the arguments being made should be known and should be put into proper context. If you go to one of your live media outlets, I believe this is ABC where we're getting this information from. They will say how bad and terrible this is. 1.1 million people will lose SNAP benefits between 2025 and 2020 34. Okay, hold on. 10 years. A million people. There's 330. That doesn't seem like a whole lot, but okay, if you're using raw numbers, millions scare people sometimes. It says this, 800,000 able bodied adults will lose benefits. Those are people under the age of 64 without dependence. Which. Okay, sounds, doesn't sound super compelling. IT talks about 53% of eligible adults could exit SNAP within 18 months due to work requirements. Okay, you're not making a very compelling case here as to why this is a bad thing. So what are the changes that are coming that the lib media is so disastrously scared about? Well, work requirements, age raised, raised from 54 to 64. Oh, okay, so that, well that sounds fairly reasonable. If you're under the age of 64, which 65 is the general retirement age and you are able bodied without dependence, you have to work or at least be trying to find a job. That seems fairly reasonable. Dependents age threshold could change from 18 to 14 years old. Okay, I guess that's a little bit of a change. But at the same time, if you have a 14 year old you can work. If you're an able bodied adult, you can work. Unless your child has some sort of severe disability, you, you can work that. That, that seems fairly reasonable. And also 18 seems like a pretty high number that probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. Exemptions are removed because you get exempt if you're a part of this class. Homeless individuals, young adults who've aged out of foster care and veterans. Now the only thing I will accept quibbling with is veterans. I want to do best by our veterans. I want to do right by the people that serve this country. Um, so I can understand a little bit of an argument there, but overall all of these things seem thoroughly reasonable. The case that is being made is look at how many people will lose their benefits and the question that actually needs to be asked is should they have been getting them in the first place? Because for some reason nobody ever asks that question. Oh my gosh. This able bodied single 27 year old man is gonna lose his food stamps. Good. Why did he have food stamps to begin with? He's 27. He's an agile. I would kill to be a 27 year old. I know I'm only 34 years old but my knees are feeling it. I Wish I was 27. And because of that, 27 year olds who are able bodied people able to work should have a work requirement at the very minimum. I think get kicked off altogether. But that's just me. We're going to take a break so we got some extended time with Savannah Hernandez with some videos never before seen and we'll send you off onto the weekend on a high note. We will be right back after the break. Tptpsa.com is the email address. Don't go away. We'll be right back.

Amazon Five Star Theater presents real customer reviews performed by a real serious improv podcaster. Tonight's Spatula for the Stars. When I'm dead and civilization eventually collapses, this spatula will remain. It will be the only rune uncovered by some unknown species of the future upon which they base their assumptions of our existence. Eggs they will these extinct people like to eat their eggs scrambled, omeletted and fried. They love to eat eggs, and this was their primary tool for cooking them. Now come, let us teleport to the Intergalactic Museum and put this device in.

[Rodney Williams]

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break.

[Rodney Williams]

Lets be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle, and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

That's exactly why we created the Wealth Break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You'll hear from people who've broken barriers found creative ways to succeed and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're.

[Travis Holloway]

Bringing you their stories and we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

[Joe Bob]

Welcome back to Turning Point Tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback, generally through the mockery of terrible lib ideas. TBT tbsa.com is the email address if you'd like to send us your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms, even something that we should be talking about. I know it's a Friday, so we're having some fun. We're gonna continue to have some fun in this next segment, but be not before I remind you to go subscribe to our YouTube channel, the Turning Point Tonight. YouTube channel Rumble channel all of these social media platforms is where you're gonna find exclusive content. Not today, but but most days Monday through Thursday. We do an extra segment of this show that we just can't squeeze in to the time that we have together because it's so finite and so fleeting. We have to put it on the Internet because that's the only place that it could live. So you don't want to miss out. Go subscribe to The TurningPoint Tonight YouTube channel, Facebook page, Instagram channel, all of the things. Just type in J O B o B. You'll be able to find it very, very easy. Sav Hernandez, Turning Point contributor and Frontlines reporter, rejoins us for a segment that we've tried a couple different times. This is producer Glenn. Now the risk that we're taking here is that I have not seen any of these clips. You have not seen any of these clips. The risk is that we could get fired because we don't know what's going on in the sick, twisted mind of producer Glenn. I have no idea what he's about to show us. So we'll. We will all collectively watch these videos together. And then I'd love to get your thoughts and reactions and weigh in on the severity of the cultural impact of said videos. Again, chosen by producer Glenn. By the way, if you have hate emails tbt tbusa.com just headline it. Producer Glenn is either great or terrible. Whatever. First one up. Let's. Let's just fire away. Ridiculous. Start taking care of my star. Obstruction. Barking. What is mine? These are my highly frequented areas. This chair was promised to my family 30 years ago. You bought it on Facebook Marketplace last month. This is ridiculous.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

I.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Come on.

[Joe Bob]

You gerrymandered the tv. Just the Netflix icon. That's my ex girlfriend's account. I still have a login. I don't need to do the chair. You've eaten my food before. This is leading into my room. That's an annex. Well, don't look at it. Come on. Are you kidding me? What lotion? What is that?

[Travis Holloway]

Okay, that's. That's. That's where I sit.

[Joe Bob]

Hey, what's going on in here? Hey there. Chris is marking his territory in the apartment.

[Amazon Five Star Theater Podcaster]

Oh, it's so weird.

[Joe Bob]

Hey, what the hell is that?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Welcome to the absolute state of modern day politics. I feel like if we wanted to explain what gerrymandering was, that video was actually very educational.

[Joe Bob]

But, but seriously, I. I hate the fact that one. That was funny. That was genuinely funny, Genuinely entertaining. Some risque moments, but we'll let it slide. But also, how is that different than what's going on currently? Like, can you come up with any reason to how that's different than what's going on in Illinois, In California, some detractors will say in Texas, but who knows if that's actually going to stand up constitutionally? How is that actually different?

[Savannah Hernandez]

No, I mean, that's actually how they do it. A guy just actually puts a blindfold on and they just like grab some. They, they like kind of like go like this on a paper with a blindfold and then that's how they figure out the districts. That's how they do it. So, you know, so here's, here's the.

[Joe Bob]

Problem with that theory is that actually might be more fair than some of the deep blue states Especially in Chicago where you've got like this tiny little thing and then it balloons up over here when there's a bunch of rural, probably conservative areas and then it go tiny thing to get a bunch of the big metro, major metropolitan areas. That's that honest to God, somebody with a talisman blindfolded probably would actually be more fair in representing conservative voices, especially in blue states. Any of the thoughts on that you want to go continue on?

[Savannah Hernandez]

No. Next video. Glenn, hit us with it.

[Joe Bob]

Let's go.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Every 15 seconds, a home is broken into. That's why you need United nations home security. United nations home security protects your home.

[Joe Bob]

Exactly how the United nations has protected countries since 1945. Dispatching to your house a team of highly trained unarmed observers.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Their job is to watch the burglar and take notes.

[Joe Bob]

His every move is seen and carefully documented.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Then our 192 member United Nations Home Security, Security Council debates until everyone can agree on an appropriate response, such as economic incentives. And if that doesn't work, economic sanctions. And if that also doesn't work, strongly worded condemnations.

[Joe Bob]

And if nothing else works, we will.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

Be forced to invite the burglar to.

[Joe Bob]

Join the United Nations Home Security Council.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

United nations home security.

[Joe Bob]

There's nothing we wouldn't do for you.

[America's Christian Credit Union / SpinQuest Advertiser]

But little we can.

[Joe Bob]

This is one of those that is funny and also terrifying because people actually think the United nations does a thing. I so sav. I have a bunch of friends in a lot of different areas of work. And I remember years ago I was scrolling through Instagram stories and a friend of mine had posted a picture of the UN building in New York and said like, when your job actually matters. And I was like, no, it doesn't. It's the U.N. what the heck does the U.N. do? Like, yeah, Joe.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Bob, honestly, as I was watching this, my first initial thought was like, oh, so the way that they're actually going to solve this home burglary is by unlocking the door and then funding more burglars to go into the house and take more resources from the homeowner. So actually they, they were, they were quite gracious to the UN in this video, to be honest with you, because, you know, the is so sinister and did help fund the mass migration of people into the US So I was.

[Joe Bob]

Going to say that's a very charitable take on the UN all they do is observe and not actually just make things worse. I think President Trump has threatened a number of times to just pull out of the UN and I can't, like, help but agree with that 100%. Because also too, what I feel like the UN does is like it pretends that all of the countries in the world are there, they're all the same and they have equal say, equal. You know, Zimbabwe is just as important as the United States of America. And I, I just, I don't know, I can't handle it. And I feel like the American people gotta like wake up and go, like, why are we funding everything that goes on in the us we do.

[Savannah Hernandez]

I feel like modern day society is like high school. Like everything can kind of be deduced back to and compared to high school where you have all of these groups and clubs that don't actually do anything and have no real merit in society. And also, how is the majority of anything running in society? Because everyone's actually kind of an idiot behind the scenes and has no idea what they're doing. Welcome to the modern day. It's actually baffling. The older you get and the more people you work with and the more organizations like the UN that you look into, it's like, how is the world running? Like, how are things even operating right now? Like, what's going on?

[Joe Bob]

I have no idea how anything is ever done ever at any point. I, at the risk of going on, but I think this is actually interesting for the viewers. So Sav and I went to Davos for the World Economic Forum. I was there to cover journalistically. Sav was there speaking on a panel because she loves the World Economic Forum. Just kidding. She was doing the hard hitting interviews. I don't know if you remember this, but the whole knock on the World Economic Forum and all of the people that go to Davos is they say all of these things that are just so astronomically stupid that it's, it's difficult to like even put it into perspective. But when we were on the streets, again, I don't know if you remember this or can it can comment on this. A bunch of the people that we talked to were there working with, you know, the big power players and talking to them. They themselves were like, oh yeah, I don't really buy into any of this. I'm just, this is a job, I'm here for a job. And it seemed like the only people that actually bought into it were like the hundred people that were inside the, you know, the different forums. And everyone else is just like, yeah, this is, we agree with you. This is crazy and stupid. Do you remember that? Was that your takeaway?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Yeah. I feel like at a. I mean, honestly, I feel like everyone is aware that the World Economic Forum is more about how we can make more money for corporations, how they can surveil us even better, and how we can have less rights. And, you know, the average person sees that and they're kind of like, yeah, we're just going to pretend that we're here to do a service for society. But we all know what's really going on here. The power grab.

[Joe Bob]

Yeah, I, I, I, yeah, I, I'm glad to have not had to go back because it was cold up there.

[Savannah Hernandez]

I mean, you know, all of their efforts about climate change work harder. Can you just spray more nanoparticles into the sky, Bill Gates? Because it's freezing in Switzerland.

[Joe Bob]

There was an interview that I think you did where some guy was like, look, yeah, the global warming is a thing. Look it, there's no snow on the ground. I think you panned the camera. We should have fought down that clip pan. The camera is like a. There's like, the whole place is covered in snow. Like the hell are you talking about, dude?

[Savannah Hernandez]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Bob]

I think we got time for one more. Let's, let's rock and roll. With this unseen clip chosen by producer Glenn in case there needs to be aspersions cast somewhere.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Oh.

[Joe Bob]

Kyle.

[Amazon Five Star Theater Podcaster]

So, kyle, kyle, no, no, Pippen, no.

[Dutch Vet Service Advertiser]

Stop.

[Joe Bob]

Okay. And with that, we've all witnessed the last time producer Glenn will ever be tasked with picking videos, not the cat.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Videos, to close out a Friday.

[Joe Bob]

Yeah, you know, hey, it's Friday. We're going out into the weekend. And at the risk of being a person that digs too much into things, how emblematic is our house cats with liberals? They're sometimes nice to have around. Good coffee is good. I like our. At the same time, when something is perfectly situated, sometimes the only thing cats do is just ruin it. And so that kind of feels like how libs treat the United States of America. Hey, this, this nice, serene piece of glass is sitting on this table. It'd be a shame if someone chucked it onto the floor. I'm gonna get some hate email in the cat tbt tpsa.com if you're a cat lover and would like to hate me, I am a cat lover as well. Have. Do you have any thoughts here or you also want to dig in too much politically to a ridiculous cat video compilation?

[Savannah Hernandez]

You know what? Sometimes the world needs a good cat video. And if anything, these made me realize I don't ever want a cat. I was actually considering it. I was considering it. And then I'm watching this And I'm like, that is so chaotic. And if I want to deal with that type of behavior, I can just go to my regular liberal protest and watch them throw tantrums in the street. So, you know, yes, like you said, very similar vibe going on there. You know, you could just be standing next to a liberal and they might just swipe at you and freak out for no reason and just start having like a, like a spaz attack and you're like, what's going on? They're like human cats. Oh my gosh. Bored.

[Joe Bob]

I, yeah, I appreciate that insight and I also agree. So, wow. Didn't, didn't think we'd end the, end the week on fun cat videos, but. Sav Hernandez, thanks so much for sticking around. Have a, a great weekend. Stay warm, stay safe, wherever you're gonna go in the country next. Really appreciate you taking the time.

[Savannah Hernandez]

Thanks, Joe Bob, always a pleasure being on Turning Point tonight.

[Joe Bob]

Thank you. That's gonna do it for us here at Turning Point tonight. Send you off into the weekend on hilarious cat videos. We will see you next week, same time, same place on Monday.
