Joe Bob
Do not call 911 if you live in the state of California because chances are the system from the 70s does it flipping work. Also, do not ride public transportation if you can help it, especially if you're in a deep blue city. A horrifying story out of Chicago. And do not use a fake ID in Arizona lest you be taken into custody by the law enforcement officials who are stopping underage drinkers from doing so in a bar, which I actually totally agree with. And we'll talk about a little bit more later. All that more coming up on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together we are charting the course of a America's cultural comeback. This is Turning Point tonight. TPTP USA.com is the email address.

Also, go subscribe to our Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel, which is growing by leaps and bounds. I believe we got past 5,000 subscribers, which may not sound like a ton, but it actually is quite a bit considering how much we how recently we started really pouring into that channel. So go to subscribe to TurningPoint tonight YouTube channel Rumble, Facebook, Instagram, X, all of the social media platforms you'll be able, you'll be able to find us. And if you want to hack, just type in J O B o B. You'll be able to find it on pretty much every single platform. It is a crazy, weird name, but it also is unique enough to be advantageous or beneficial when it comes to finding Turning Points in the night material on the Internet. We also do an extra segment each and every day of the show. Yesterday I told the story about meeting Charlie Sheen, which is actually, I think, pretty interesting. I don't want to, you know, hype it up too much, but it is pretty interesting. The One last point podcast Charlie Sheen was the most fascinating individual in the context in which we met him and I would love for you to get get that opinion, but you can only find it on a social media platform. So type in Turning Point tonight or just J O B O B on any of your social media platforms. You'll be able to find it there. To get to what I think is important, I recognize we talk about California quite a bit. One, because I and the entire Turning Point Tonight team live in California behind enemy lines in this communist hellhole. But two, the main point is I, even though I want California to succeed and want them to do well and want them to reverse course so that they can succeed and do well, I also want the rest of the country to know the terrible things and the terrible people and the positions that those people have been put in in this godforsaken state so that it doesn't happen to you if you're watching this in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I pray and I hope that you take what's going on in California, in Illinois, in Chicago, with some sort of, oh my gosh, we can't let this happen to our red state. So speaking of California, I thought this was very interesting and compelling. Now, it's not necessarily new news because this was reported on several months ago, but it is interesting because the guy who headed up the department that had these blistering failures has announced he's running for governor of the state of California. Yes. 67 year old former HHS secretary Xavier Becerra. It's like Javier, but with an X. So Xavier Becerra is running for the governorship of the state of California. Now, aside from being a left wing lunatic slash hack, Xavier Becerra has had several administrative missteps when he was the head of Health and Human Services under the Biden administration. Now he did was a proponent of eh, kids can transition. Yeah, that we're gonna give unlimited subsidies to whoever wants them via Obamacare. And also, by the way, remember, RFK got a ton of flak for, well, he's not a doctor, but he's the head of the hhs. And neither is Xavier Becerra, also not a doctor, by the way, and we mentioned this at the time, there's only three doctors to ever run the Health and Human Services department, so that's not a big thing. Including them on their own side, all the people that complained about it. So anyways, one of the big things administratively that I think should be revisited and made sure to be brought up again and again and again is hhs. But the Biden administration's horrible handling of all of the illegals that coming into the country. Now this is no surprise, and I don't need to reiterate it or reset the scene. The Biden administration left the border completely and utterly wide open, which was a problem for really everybody, including the people who came here illegally, in part because there was a hotline set up inside of the Health and Human Services Department that was supposed to function as well. Hey, we know you're here in the country illegally. And I'm sure some legal aliens probably also called the hotline. But I would venture to guess that the majority of people who called this hotline were illegal. They called this hotline. And turns out, as we found out earlier this year, a dang thing didn't work. Uh, now this is a Biden administration problem, but if you remember, 300,000 children were either misplaced or placed with unvetted people when they came into the United States illegally under the Biden administration. Now, in as a subset to that and as a part of that problem inside hhs, they also set up a hotline. Hey, if you have any issues, if you want to report abuse, sexually or otherwise, if you want to report human trafficking, you want to port fraud, all of those things can be directed to this hotline. And the hotline under Xavier becerra completely ignored 65,000 of those calls. As it was reported earlier, in March 2025, there was a 65,000 report backlog discovered by the Trump administration amid the 300,000 kids who were misplaced or put with randos in the United States. Now, the good news is that the Trump administration is working diligently and as hard as they fast as they possibly can, Secretary Noem and President Trump, to try and figure out this massive mess that they were left. Thankfully, of those 300,000, 24,400 have been either made contact with or their situation solved. Again, that's nowhere near where we would all like it to be, just on a human level. But at the same time, at least they recognize the problem and are identifying and working their best to solve the problem. But what still consists here, what still is the main issue, especially for states like California, is you have a guy who was running a department that effectively ignored 65,000 calls for help. And two to the point, as of July 2020 or July 2025, six months into the Trump administration's tenure, 59 of those backlog reports have been processed. It probably is fully done until now. But that's the most up to date information I believe that everybody has. Bottom line remains, is this the guy running for the top spot in the state, in the country's most populous State, completely ignored, 65 distress calls, completely abandoned, 65,000 people calling for help. The people that they let into this in the country, illegally, completely ignored. Which we can go on and on about a conservative and liberal divide on things. But conservatives are apprehensive of systems. If they don't think the systems can work, liberals will shout from the rooftop how good the system might be and then when it doesn't work, refuse to take responsibility for it. I'd be willing to bet that conservatives could get on board with a functioning system that says, hey, people that are experiencing abuse in any way, shape or form, fraud, human trafficking, here's a hotline to call. But also conservatives would make sure the dang phone line works, make sure somebody picks up the calls, does any sort of amount of investigating into each report. Liberals, on the other hand, will say, look at all these great things we are doing for the people that are in the country illegally. And also, you don't want to do any of the work. So 65,000 of these calls will just. That's fine. Just, just good luck. We've got the credit for wanting to do it, which makes us seem nice to the voters. We got more nonsense coming on in California. Gavin Newsom and the California libs who run the state wasted absurd. I laugh because it's easier than crying. They wasted an absurd amount of money setting up a system that doesn't work. I will formalize my pitch for doing the same exact thing, but for less money to save the taxpayer dollars on building something that doesn't work. We're going to talk about that next. Also, the horrible situation that happened on a train in Chicago on Monday. We will discuss that all that more. TPTPC.com also go subscribe to our Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel, the Rumble Channel, the Instagram account, the Facebook page, this the X account. All of those is where you get exclusive content specifically for social media. Let's see, there's a bunch of fun. We're trying a new format type of way to where we where we start off the segment on a high note and then devolve into treachery and awfulness because that's the way the news cycle works. But we want to as a part of trying to be the lighter hearted 10pm show here in Real America's Voice. We're trying to, you know, at least start segments with some levity. So that's how we're gonna do things now, format wise until it changes. That's something to look out for. As soon as we come back from the break. Don't go away. We'll be back after this.

Joe Bob's Son
Alright, well I know you don't want to tuck it in, but mama said it would look better tucked in. So you have to remember that girls only speak things in mystery. When she says that, she really means tuck it in. She doesn't mean it would just look better. She wants you to tuck it in. Girls don't say what they want. They want you to read their minds and it's a little confusing, but might as well go ahead and learn it now.

Joe Bob
I love the approach. Just she's not going to tell you what she actually wants. She's going to hint at it, sometimes more aggressively than others. I feel like, say, name a restaurant for dinner which means you, you got to go to that restaurant or you Got to get that thing, or you got to wear that shirt or whatever it is. It's veiled. But the earlier you know that. That's why I like this. The earlier you know that, the better off you are. Because if you. If you get into your, I don't know, first, second, third year of marriage and don't understand that yet, One, how did you get married in the first place? And two, you're going to be in for a rude awakening when your wife says, it would be nice if we tied it up a little bit, or it'd be nice if the mailbox got painted, or it would be nice if the sliding door was smoother. That means do it. This is not a suggestion. This is a command. Don't. Don't think that. This is not something that you have. This is optional. This is an optional thing for me to do. Nope. The dad is teaching his son right, and the sooner you learn it, the better. Speaking of things that you learn sooner than later is California. Places like California waste money. I know this comes as a shock to many of you. We talked. Geez, we talked probably every day about California wasting money. Yesterday we were talking about the unbelievable amount of corruption that goes on with money changing hands. And, hey, there's money in this account. Well, what if we bill it as this business expense? And then also, what if my consultants write off a $170,000 Mexico vacation for their birthday as a tax deductible business expense? And then what if this company gets a contract from the government that's $100 million, but then they donate to this guy? It's a whole thing. California is just a racket and a half. And good news, it doesn't stop there. Not only is it corrupt, it also is dysfunctional, as in, it doesn't work. Uh, the most recent example of that is Governor Newsom in California's plan to revamp. Calling 91 1. Now, I know that you all know this, but calling 911 and having emergency services show up to your house or dwelling is probably pretty important. Like, if somebody. If something happens, somebody breaks into your house. If you take a pretty bad fall, you want to be able to call 911 and you want it to work. Well, unfortunately in California, kind of shot in the dark. Governor Newsom promised to modernize the system in 2019, calling the analog system that had been used literally for decades. Astounding. How could we still be using this in the quote, unquote, most technically advanced state in the union? The current legacy system that California uses for their 911 operation is from 1970, the 1970s. The infrastructure is literally falling apart and finding people who have the expertise to fix it when it does fall apart is become a huge problem in the formerly Golden State. Can we call it the poopy state? Is that like, I wonder if that's like, can we just do that? Can we just make it happen? Yeah, that would be a problem. Hey, Bill, who's 95 years old is the only one who knows how to fix this specific system that we have because it's 50 years old. So Bill was fixing this in his prime and 45 years old. Now he's 95. We still haven't updated the system. So we had to drag Bill out of retirement to go fix this thing. Oh, by the way, Bill needs a part that had they stopped producing in the 80s because this stupid system is over 50 years old again, would you expect that sort of thing from the quote unquote tech hub of the world? No, but remember it's California. I think Ronald Reagan said if you put the. This is talking about the federal government, but also applies to California. If you put the federal government in charge of sand, if you in charge of the Sahara desert ruined the punchline there. In about five years they'd run out of sand. Anyways, back to California. The current system is literally falling apart. So and I like this, the statistic from the. I believe this is from the California Globe said nearly 40 million Californians utilize or rely on 911 services. There are 40 million Californians as a whole. It's the whole population. They could have just said 100% of people utilize or could have to utilize the 911 services. 400 dispatch centers exist across California that all need to get upgraded. Well, good news, California is going to upgrade it. After the 2018 campfire that killed 80 plus people, it drove the like original redundancy design to need some upgrades. People went hey, this fire was terrible. The 91 1, the emergency services didn't work as expected. We need to upgrade. So fast forward a couple years later, they say, hey, we're going to do it. All of the money is approved. Approved. The first part of it was going to BE of those 400 dispatch centers, there was going to be 20, 23 dishpass centers originally transitioning into the new rollout of the new system. All of the analog 1970s stuff was going away. All of the new stuff was coming in. The problem is once all of the new high tech stuff came into place in these 23 dispatch centers, it didn't work, which I laughed, but that's not funny, right? If you have an emergency and the 911 system that recently gets transferred over to the new and improved system, you call hello? Doesn't work, that's a problem. Calls were lost, they were misrouted and they created significant operational disruptions. There was a 12 hour outage that occurred in one of the counties once the new system was activated. So at the, to put a fine point on it, this whole system was put in place to make California more reliant on new technology that was developed in this decade. Which again seems crazy. If a state is one, the tech hub of the world and two, has more tax money than any state in the country, why can't they figure that out when this is clearly not that big of an issue elsewhere? All that's to be said is it just, it just doesn't work. There is, there is a glimmer of hope though. Despite the fact that the 911 dish bass system, the new revamp, the new and improved system didn't work. At least it was extraordinarily expensive to the taxpayer. I laugh because crying is probably not acceptable on tv. Again, I live in California, so this hurts me internally. And I. And we bring these California stories to you to make sure that it doesn't happen in the same state, the hopefully well governed state that you live in. $450 million was spent on the failed regional 911 systems between 2019 and 2025. Of that there's a group called the NGA 911 and a system called Synergy Technologies. They were paid $104 million and $59 million respectively. Those two vendors have now been scrapped. They, in other words, Californians paid $163 million to these two companies for a system that didn't work. Now obviously you can think, well, that's way less than $450 million. And that's true. That's probably because there's a bunch of other smaller vendors. But just these two vendors got $163 million over the course of this revamp and what they did didn't work. I'd like to throw this out as an offer to Governor King Gavin or anybody who is in charge of the decision making in the godforsaken hellhole that is California. I will design Joe Bob Media llc. We will design a telecom system for emergency services that does not work for half. It's actually a pretty good deal if you think about it. I will only charge you $80 million California to also build a System that doesn't work in any way, shape or form. Again, I know I'm selling myself short here. I realize I'm probably worth the full $163 million. Honestly I'm probably worth the full $450 million. But like I said, out of the generosity and goodness of my own heart, I will build you a system that is non functional for half to save the California taxpayers dollars. Because I'm just, I'm a good American like that. Part of the dysfunction that is being pointed out is that nobody in a position of influence or power was consulted. The Fire Chiefs association and super large emergency response services like L. LAPD say we weren't consulted. Nobody talked to us about this. And well, shows, believe it or not, a bunch of the major project leaders have left the transition is being criticized because there's no benchmarks, no deliverables, just high level of reports with a lot of zeros. Yeah, that, that seems to be the case for the last few of us here who are actually paying attention to the bottom line of California. California is racing to bankruptcy with Illinois. But that's a different conversation for a different time. But the worry, trust me, it gets worse. Believe me, it gets worse. There is a path forward. The state is now completely restarting the statewide design with similar technologies as other states use. Now. Why they didn't do that in the first place, I don't know. It's probably because Gavin's best friend's nephew owned one of those companies that build the state $100 million. But again, all alleged, I don't actually know. I'm just thinking that's probably the case. Um, some of the new infrastructure they say is, is working. So maybe that's a silver lining. But even then they identified this problem. 2018 set it in motion. 2019, the new updated system in the tech hub in the richest state in the union is set to be 2030. Okay. And I, I'm not entirely sure how difficult telecoms systems are to set up. If you have any experience in the telecom world and if you know what it's like to set up one of these systems, not even like inner offices, like dude, I've been in offices that have telecom systems throughout the whole building and it's all, you dial this and it goes here and all of that sort of stuff, this doesn't seem that hard. Like am I taking crazy pills? Like if you, if you have any experience or insight into the telecom world, is it really that hard? Like is that that hard to set up a system where people Call, report something is happening, then you redirect that call to where it needs to go. They do it in India every day. I right, like this doesn't feel like it's rocket science. Why is it going to take 10 years to. To maybe get it right, by the way? Maybe because, yeah, this is a new goal, a new deadline, 2030. But they also set deadlines before this, and guess what? None of it freaking worked. There's 400 dispatch places. They only did 23 and those 23 were failures. And it still cost half a billion dollars. What assurance do I have that it'll actually work? The answer is freaking none for something that doesn't seem to be that hard. But again, my offer remains on the table if you would like to join me in submitting a bid. You know what I think I need? Because California still, I think, does the DEI contract stuff. So I'm brown, which, which helps, but I'm also a male, which knocks me down a peg. I'm also straight. That's knocks me down a peg. And my dad was an immigrant, but I wasn't. So here's what I need. If you out there are watching and you would like to get this contract with me to help build a system that doesn't work and bill California taxpayers for $80 million, send us an email, tpt USA.com you need to be a woman, lesbian, person of color, immigrant. I think that'll check all the boxes. Then we can develop a company together. We can put together a proposal of a telecom system that doesn't work and then bill them. Actually, you know what, we'll even do it for a quarter. My new company, Venture, we will do it for $40 million. That's how generous we are. But if you fit any of those DEI checkboxes and you think that you're able to, with me, form a company that will also create a system that doesn't work, let me know. Like I belabored that joke on probably a little bit too long. Coming up. You know, it's tough to make more jarring transitions of things that are relatively serious, but I do want to talk about that horrible, horrible incident that happened in Indiana when a woman was set on fire by somebody who should have been in jail for a very long time. Might have been talked about in some of the other shows, but I think some of the details are freaking interesting. And even though we generally have fun on this show, this is something that needs to be talked about and needs to be Talked about thoroughly. Tptpsa.com is the email address. Also go subscribe to our YouTube channel. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away.

Joe Bob
Would you rather date a guy with a dad bod or a six pack? Well, I'm not gay. I'm sorry, what? All right. Okay. That. That guy's defense. It. I. I put a lot of money on that. If you're just listening to this, you're not watching on the if you're just listening on a podcast. This man is wearing shorts that are shorter than should be legal, a skin tight T shirt, has some sort of crown, is at a pride festival, and most specifically and most glaringly is wearing a rainbow cape. 9 times out of 10, 99 times out of 999 times out of a thousand, I put all I'm going all in making bets that guy's gay. 100%. I also, I'm not even sure if I believe him. Oh, I'm not getting really. Is it some sort of, like, suppression thing? Are you trying to turn a corner? I. I don't know if I believe him to begin with. I'm calling BS on all of this. Not only do I think that that was a totally justifiable question to ask of a man wearing a rainbow cape at a pride festival, I don't even know if I believe the man. I'm not gay. Get outta here, dude. Wow. To transition entirely. I'm not sure if that was the right clip to lead into this because that seems very whimsical and fun and this is not whimsical and fun, but here we are. Anyways, you probably have heard about this. And by the way too, I misspoke last segment. I think I said this happened in Indiana. No, the victim was from Indiana. Bethany McGee's 26 years old, a graduate of Purdue from Indiana, was lit on fire when she went on the Chicago Blue line at 9:24pm on Monday. And there's a lot of things going on here. But just to give you some context, the everybody thinks this is entirely unprovoked. It's not like she did anything. She was reaching for her phone, allegedly when she was doused with gasoline and lit on fire. Thankfully, she was able to Put the fire out by stop dropping and rolling. And again, I don't want to make light of this, but it's. That's interesting. That's something we all kind of know. If you're on fire, stop, drop and wall roll. There's other people that were able to put some blankets on. She was able to survive, which is fantastic. We'll get to the not fantastic in just a second, but she's going to hopefully make a full recovery. It's going to take three months in the hospital, but what in the world is going on with these random attacks on public transit? It's almost as if the lowest of the low are just hanging out on public transit with no supervision whatsoever and are allowed to effectively do whatever it is they want. And unfortunately, and I saw this firsthand, a bunch of the normal people that are riding the public transit feel like it's odd and uncomfortable to look to their left and keep an eye on what's going on. Actually, producer Glenn, we're going to throw this in later. Here's a picture of. I took this photo. We were in. I was in San Francisco. I flew into San Francisco Airport and barted to Berkeley, honestly, because the bar was just going to be faster. And I took this photo of this girl who this is the epitome of. What the heck are you thinking? Just sitting politely on the train next to a guy with a speaker on his bike, full mask, looks scary. And she's just sitting there. I'm sure this is fine. Nothing bad will happen to me. Absolutely not. Keep your eyes peeled, keep your head on a swivel, especially if you're in public transit. Thankfully, in that situation, nothing happened. But that, that can't be the default, especially for young women to not pay attention to, to what is going on around them. Not trying to victim blame, not trying to say, hey, if you were more careful. I'm just saying in general, people need to be more aware of what's going on because the system has failed us. The criminal justice system in so many ways have failed. And I know that's not a surprise to all of you fine folks, but get this, the suspect, guy named Lawrence Reid, he's 50 years old. He allegedly filled the gasoline container 20 minutes before his attack. Whether or not he planned to do that, who knows what's going on? The head of these crazy people. He was charged with federal terrorism and had fire related injuries on his hand when he was arrested. But more importantly, and specifically he had a criminal history. How, how shocking is that somebody with a criminal History in Chicago, ends up being out on the street and then commits more crime. What kind of a criminal history? You know, was he shoplifting as a kid? Stuff some stuff in his pocket, got caught. Was he vandalizing again as a kid? Did some graffiti, you know, who knows? Actually, we do know. And while it is shocking, it's not really surprising. Lawrence Reed, age 50, had 72 prior arrests with multiple felony convictions over the last three decades. His most recent release happened in August where he was given an ankle monitor like, oh, hey, just go ahead and be out among society. Despite the fact now he was in for assaulting a social worker. Despite the fact that the prosecutor said, hey, maybe this guy shouldn't be out in public. The judge said, nope, we can't keep everybody in jail because the state's attorney wants to. That's the actual drug. Judge said. Judge Teresa Molina Gonzalez said during Lawrence Reed's release, I can't keep everybody in jail just because the state's attorney wants me to. And as a part of this whole bail reform, justice, whatever, which is not justice, it's just soft on crime lunacy. This guy was out on the streets able to light some poor young woman on fire for no apparent reason. They didn't have a prior connection. She was not doing anything in his direction to make him, to set him off. And even if she did that, you. You can't respond with lighting somebody on fire.

But the bottom line here is we have a problem, especially with liberal ideology that says, oh, yeah, this is. This is a. This is mean to keep people in jail. I know he's got 72 prior arrests. I know he's got multiple felony convictions. We're just so nice and it's so mean to keep him locked up that we just have to release him onto the streets. Now, unfortunately, even in spite of this, this is the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, talking about his idea of jail and why it's such a bad and terrible thing. And mind you, this clip was after this horrible incident on this train. This is how libs and a specific lib, Mayor Brandon Johnson thinks that this should be handled. Watch this. We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. We've already tried that, and we've ended up with the largest prison population in the world without solving the problems of crime and violence, the addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the way to drive violence down. I do not care. I Do not care a single iota how many people need to go to prison if they break the laws that we all agree on. Build prisons, not schools. I say I don't care if 40% of the population, if we agreed upon laws and those laws are reasonable and just. I don't care if 40% of the population has to go to prison. The only problem I can see with this is we don't have enough prisons. California, they're shutting down several prisons in California because there's just so many. We need to lessen the percentage of the population that's in prison. No, we don't. If you don't like the laws, change the laws. But the laws are on the books and if you're going to have a functional society, you need to enforce the laws that are on the books. That doesn't mean, hey, we just let people outta, outta prison. Because this is the conversation that continually goes on about prison and incarceration and jail systems and, and so forth. Is what is it set to do? Is it supposed to rehabilitate people so that they can be reintroduced to society? Is that its main function? Or is its main function to separate the criminals and those who have been convicted of doing wrong from the rest of society? I can understand this side of it that says, well, you know, we want to be able to rehabilitate and that's great, but as I get older, I realize the priority is not to rehabilitate. The priority is to separate the people that are willing to commit crime from the rest of us. That's the primary function of what the incarceration system should be. Not against having rehabilitation programs and not against any of that sort of thing. But that's not the main purpose. The main purpose is for the prison system to incarcerate folks who would seek to do harm to me, my family, to you, all of us, law abiding citizens. That's what the prison system is for. So when Brandon Johnson says, well, it doesn't work, it hasn't lessened the crime, okay, maybe you haven't locked enough people up, maybe you should try locking more people up, Brandon. Maybe that's the case. Who getting a little heated. Let me play one more clip for you of another individual who echoes these types of ridiculous claims. It's a little bit longer, but watch this.

Professor Alex Vitale

Joe Bob

Professor Alex Vitale
People ask me this, well, if we're not going to have police, what is the new police going to look like? And I'm like, no, it's not something New form of police, though. Policing is about violence work. And I want to get the violence out of it, whatever we call it. And that doesn't mean turning social workers into violence workers. And it doesn't mean trying to pretend that cops can be social workers. And it also doesn't mean everything has to be under the control of the state if we're going to get police out of our lives. It's not just about setting up a set of social programs. It's also about doing that hard interpersonal work in our everyday lives.

So that's insane. That is a crazy person with an insane take on how human beings and how society works. But I think here's the other really interesting element to that now, by the way. That is a guy named Professor Alex Vitali, who is Mamdani's transition team. Community safety dude. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna have to check on this. During a commercial break. I think I did a documentary where we interviewed this guy for the Daily Caller. Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the guy. More to come on this dude. If that's. If that happens to be the case. Not. Not to barely. We did documentary at the Daily Caller when I was over there and we did one on policing and I think my first flight was delayed, so I didn't actually get to the interview. And the producer interviewed this guy, not me, but I remember this guy more to come on him. But the bottom line here is this. If you have the mindset of, well, we just won't need police someday, okay, the only way that that's possible, and it really isn't that possible is if everyone. If everyone were a devout practicing Christian. Sorry, that's. That's the only way that's feasibly possible. It's kind of like policing is. You can probably interchange it with socialism when it comes to the. The what's it called, Ronald Reagan quote, where he says socialism only works in heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it. Same could be said about policing. The only place where police are not necessary are is heaven, probably. And the only way. And again, I recognize this is not even achievable and attainable here because we are fallen individuals and we make up a society. But the only way that you can even come close to this is that everybody has a religious and moral code of conduct that they themselves practice so that enforcement of the laws is done internally by the self and doesn't have to be done by an external police faction. That is the only way that this happens. And the only reason I bring that up is because I guarantee you freaking guys like this are total atheists. They're like, you know, man can make his own morality, man can make his own ethics. I would guarantee you that that's the case. I don't know specifically if that is the case for all the people, but if I were to put money on it, I would put the same amount of money on that guy in the previous clip being gay than I would on this guy thinking that Christianity is a net negative. And just, it's funny. It's ironic that these types of people think that policing should go away and at the same time are against, in most cases, religious formalities inside the individual that would hinder or that would keep them from committing crimes which would then ultimately necessitate less law enforcement. Does that make sense? But of course that's not possible. And that's not going to happen. And we're not going to pretend that there's some utopian world, as Karl Marx did, that any of that is attainable. We were going to look at those people, throw back our heads and laugh. If not for the fact that that had that guarantee you that guy will be instrumental in the downfall of the safety of New York City, which is a problem. It's Thanksgiving week. We're gonna, we're gonna have some more fun stuff to get to here. So stick around after the break. Tptpc.com if you want to send us an email, know that was a little bit of a lengthy dissecting of what's going on on the safety front, but let us know what your thoughts. Tptpc.com also go subscribe to our YouTube channel, all of our social media accounts.

Oh, that's. I'm mad about that. That feels like that video that we saw in Los Angeles where the guy had like a tree house on the side of the street and it was like three stories high. Or the people that have like their hammocks hanging up in a bus station. Oh, that's even worse. That's like coveted real estate. If you're just listening on the podcast, there is a clip that we are coming Back from commercial to where a bunch of these homeless bums and freaking junkies put their tents on the side of a hill in Beverly Hills, which is again, arguably one of the nicest real estates maybe in the world. And they're just living there for free in a tent. Because if you're a homeless meth addict, you can do anything you want. I think that's actually written law in the state of California. If you're home, if you ever get caught doing something wrong in the state of California, just say, don't worry, I'm a homeless drug addict. And they'll be like, oh, sure, well, then go ahead and do whatever you'd like. That's how we do things in California.

What are their property taxes? What would the property taxes be? Half if they had a house on that piece of land and people could actually build there? I would be. It would be astronomical. But of course, they're a homeless meth addict. They could do whatever they want. Just the state of California. Is the point of this to put me in a bad mood? Producer GLENN I honest to God don't know what were we talking about. This video I thought was fascinating. This is. This is a video from the New York Times. I again subscribe to the New York Times. I read the New York Times. I watch their videos to punish myself for my sins. And so that you don't have to. One of the videos they put out the other day is a video of inside an after school program in Charlotte, North Carolina, where an exorbitant amount of the population, percentage wise, is apparently there illegally. Again. Yeah, crazy. But this video is put out by the New York Times as if it's just this horrible, disastrous thing that law enforcement is enforcing the law. Watch how terrified and scared they all are again, possibly being caught breaking the law. Watch this.

In a statement to the Times, the department Of Homeland Security stated it did not target a school or daycare and denied trying to enter or make any arrests near the building.

I mean, there's a lot going on there. First things first. Again, I feel like we have to keep saying this. I know you all know this, but conflating legal immigrants with illegal immers. This is a. This is a safe space for migrants or immigrants. Yeah. Totally fine with that being safe for them if they're in the country legally. If you're in the country illegally, I am against any place where you feel safe from being deported from the place that you're not supposed to freaking be. I don't understand why we can't get that through the mainstream media's head, why we always have to. Well, they're migrants. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's a difference. There's a difference between legal and illegal. And I know that. Everybody watching this show knows that, but we continually need to have to point it out because the lib media freaking conflates it all as if it's one thing. Second, the school. 20% of people were absent. 20% of kids were absent from school. Well, that actually does line up with the numbers that the administration put out that, like, 20% of the entire city is there illegally. So that. Okay, that actually makes sense. But the. The idea that the lady there teaching at the school says that, well, there's People should. People are afraid regardless of their immigration status. Yeah. Because you folks scared them all. I'm not afraid. My. My dad has since passed, but he was an immigrant. He wasn't afraid. Why? Because he did it the right way. None of his brothers and sisters are afraid. You know why? Because they did it the right way. And the only reason that people would be afraid regardless of their immigration status is if you consistently tell them that they might get snatched up. That, to me, is evil. Just lying to people because it helps your political side is actually evil. I got to take a quick break because I want to get to this story out of Tempe as well as some other funny videos. Don't. Don't use a fake id. Just don't do it not a good, not good for you. So don't do it. I'll explain a little bit more after the break. Tptpc.com is the email address. If you'd like to send us along an email. We would love to get your thoughts, comments, concerns at our email address. Also, go subscribe to our YouTube channel where we continually make fun of stuff like that video there from the New York Times Turning point tonight on YouTube. Just type in J O B but J O B O B. You'll be able to find us there. We'll be right back after the break. Don't go away. Talking about the homie in the gray and the black. You know the facts. I never relax everything luxury tax and everybody here getting videos. Make sure you put a little money in the sack. What's wrong with him? Interesting. Okay, so that guy was just making it up on the fly and maybe he can be the new spokesperson for my newfound Want to throw more people in jail. I don't know if it's new found, but I think we talked about it earlier on the show. I forget what segment that was. Build prisons, not schools. And maybe if it, if that's what it takes getting that guy on the road to push that opinion. Maybe, I don't know, maybe it's worth doing. We need more people in jail in this country. There's not too many people in jail. Maybe we have a high percentage, but maybe it's because there are people who are willing to break the laws that we've all agreed on in our society and those people deserve to and need to be separated from me and my family. And maybe that guy should be the spokesperson for that. Speaking of people being locked up, a bar in Tempe, Arizona last Thursday night saw 57 officers go in around 9:45pm and arrested 249 people for underage drinking violations. Most of them all but three were sight and released. Three of them were actually booked into jail. I don't know if that includes the actual owner and employees of the fine establishment, but interestingly enough, this same bar was hit with 173 arrests earlier on in the year in April. 165 of those were sight and release and eight of them were actually booked into the Tempe City Jail. Bottom line, a bunch of people, several hundred folks apparently frequent this tavern. What is it called? The Tempe Tavern. To which I say good as, as a continuing theme here of me and maybe some of you Disagree. Email us tptpsa.com on the idea that more people need to be in jail but also specifically underage drinking is a, as an offense. Law enforcement is there to enforce the law and this is probably particular to me but as a teetotaler myself as, as as a semi prohibitionist, yeah if you're not of age you have no business consuming liquid drugs in my opinion. Charlie also did not drink and several people in the conservative Donald Trump doesn't drink either and so maybe this is a hot take, maybe some of you disagree with that. If you do send us an email TPT calm but I'm 100% for this. If bars are letting people in who are not of age and allowing them to participate in the elixir that is alcohol, yeah throw them in jail. That's gonna do it for us here at TPT Turning Point tonight. Appreciate you tuning in. We'll see you tomorrow same time, same place. God bless America.
