Joe Bob
This is an iHeart podcast. We're going to continue asking the question if libs are dumb or evil. It's kind of a toss up, but we're going to dig into some high profile libs that could be having some high profile jobs. Also, a new company is getting the Bud Light treatment and I am here for it. And probably the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. I kid you not. I watched this entire video three or four times trying to figure out, is this person kidding or are they that stupid? 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 America's cultural comeback to the mockery of bad ideas. This is Turning Point tonight. Now you can email the show anytime you want. Tbtpusa.com, love has seen each and every one of your emails. Whether you agree with everything we said or you're wrong, love seeing, seeing all of the emails over@tptp USA.com. now, I want to pull a little bit of a thread here trying to unravel the question of whether or not libs are dumb or evil.
Senator Katie Britt
Right?
Joe Bob
Because there's two schools of thought here. There's several people that I think are just evil by nature because I don't think they're stupid. Barack Obama is one of those people. I don't think he's dumb. Nancy Pelosi is another one. She's definitely not dumb, therefore she has to be lying slash evil. On the other hand, there are several prominent libs that have been so outspoken on various issues in ways that, I don't know, more intelligent people would be that you have to wonder, okay, are these people sliding into the very, very stupid column? I wanna pull the thread on that with this particular individual who happens to be the front runner in the state of California for the race for governor coming up here next year. Former congresswoman Katie Porter was known for having her whiteboards at Congress and making dumb accusations of mostly business people talking about their pay rates and all that sort of stuff. Uh, it was fun to laugh at at the time. Well, apparently she's now the front runner for California governor to replace the gruesome newsome governor guy. And it's concerning. The reason we're talking about her specifically is because she's been in the news or at least on social media the last couple days when she did one of the weirdest things during an interview, but also also kind of indicative of how libs tend to feel during interviews. If they're tough questions. I don't wanna do it because nobody should question my authority. Uh, we're gonna play this entire clip. It's rather long. We may pause a little bit to discuss. But this is the lady we're building a case against here. Is Katie Porter dumb or evil or some mix of both? Watch this and we'll discuss.
Interviewer
You need any of those 40% of California voters to win and you're saying no, you don't.
Katie Porter
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is.
Interviewer
That, well, to those voters. Okay, so, so you.
Katie Porter
I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.
Interviewer
You're not going to do the interview with us?
Katie Porter
Nope. Not like this I'm not. Not with seven follow ups to every.
Interviewer
Single question you ask every other candidate has answered.
Katie Porter
I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question you're going to make up a follow up question, then we're never going to get there and we're just going to circle around. I have never had to do this before ever.
Joe Bob
Isn't that classic lib? Hey, hey. You're asking tough questions and I don't, I don't want to answer the tough question. We're going to have follow to these questions that were pre approved by my team because I'm the front runner. I will not do it. She's leaning more in the stupid category. We're going to get into a little bit of her background and even her dating history in a little bit to kind of further that point. But we'll continue this exchange, this incredibly awkward exchange from again, a person who seeks the highest office in the state of California running the fourth or fifth depending on how you count statistically largest economy in the world. Can't sit through a little interview. We'll keep rolling.
Interviewer
You've never had to have to end an interview. Okay, but every other candidate has done this.
Katie Porter
What part of I'm me, I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. So I am going to make.
Interviewer
So you're not going to answer questions from reporters. Okay, why don't we go through. I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's my job as a journalist, but I will go through and ask these. And if you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer. So nearly every legislative.
Joe Bob
I am.
Katie Porter
I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you.
Senator Katie Britt
And I don't.
Joe Bob
All right, we probably don't need to go forward with that. I just, I wanted to get to that specific point. I am a leader. And you know what leaders do? Quit when something gets a minor amount difficult. Because that's, that is what leaders do. They also apparently don't run or eat salad. But we're not going to. We don't need. Hey, we don't need to talk about that. That's. That's. That's rude. It's an unflattering angle. Not sure any angle is flattering, but just, just. Hey, we're not gonna go there, guys. Now the question of whether or not she's dumb or evil remains, which led us to go down the rabbit hole of her dating life and marriage experience. Uh, she has got three kids. She lives in Orange County. She was a congressperson in a very, in my opinion, red area. Um, but you know how Dems kind of mess with all of the elections. You don't have to show an ID to vote. You have ballot harvesting across the state. That's probably why she, what she calls a purple district. But it's Orange County, California. It's pretty red where she is. But hey, if you can cheat to win, what's stopping you from doing so? Especially if you have no moral compass whatsoever, as former congresswoman Katie Porter seems to have. But I was just curious. What, what is her life like in. In my quest, in my quest to figure out if she is stupid or evil? She was married to a guy who she filed for divorce for in 2013. And it was not a fun divorce by all of the accounts read. It's very contentious, very problematic, especially with the. The custody battles over the kid. Now, that doesn't necessarily say a whole lot, except for the follow up boyfriend, which I thought was really fascinating. She has filed a restraining order in the last year against the guy that she was dating for a very long time, one Julian Willis, who had been hospitalized twice since late 2022 on involuntary psychiatric holds due to a history of abusing prescription drugs and painkillers. Again, not Katie Porter's fault. However, what kind of person dates these kinds of people? Right? Again, bad on him. Nobody wants to see anybody get hurt or abused in any way, shape or form. But if you have to file a restraining order against somebody that you're in a relationship with, I just, I don't, I don't know entirely about your decision making. I'm not impugning anybody who has had to do that. Sort of thing in a very different circumstance. But there's also some follow ups to this. Uh, he actually then told Politico during this whole process that Porter sought the restraining order in order to preempt him from suing her, seeking protection for himself and her children from her. It also put a gag order on him, according to him, where he couldn't go to the media. In other words, this guy, who may very well be crazy, was met with an additional crazy force trying to stop him from going to the media and talking about this. He actually told Politico that when he moved out of Katie Porter's house, he requested police escorts to be there in case she went nuts. Because, because as you saw, the person in that interview is very susceptible to going nuts. He finished up the Politico interview or the phone call, whatever he had with her by saying she's a monster. Which. Okay, all right, a little bit. It might be that maybe he's crazy, maybe he's nuts, and maybe it takes somebody who's also nuts to date a guy who is in fact nuts. But don't worry, we have more video evidence of one Ms. Katie Porter. Uh, starting with clip to go ahead and play a cut to here. This is her talking about her daughter in a totally made up story, by the way. Or if it isn't, then, you know, maybe CPS needs to be involved here after the election. Watch this. Cut to.
Katie Porter
So on election night, I was with, I went to pick up my daughter from water polo practice and she's 12. And she got in the car and she was crying and I said, did someone punch you? Like water polo is a rough sport. I was like, did someone hit you? Did the coach yell at you? What happened? And she, she said, mom, Trump won. Trump's gonna win. And what if I get raped and I need to have an abortion? This is from a 12 year old, my 12 year old daughter.
Joe Bob
First of all, no, she didn't. And two, if she did, where on earth would a 12 year old get that kind of idea? Also note the reaction between the two guys on the panel. They're like, aha, yeah, funny. She's crying and we're kind of making up a story. New knows this could be a happy go lucky thing, right? What if my daughter gets raped and needs an abortion? Holy crap, lady. What kind of crazy person goes on TV and makes that as an argument? Well, actually it's the type of person that would go on TV again and make a similar argument. Uh, this is cut 11 where she talks about why Inflation is bad and the reason that we need. Well, sorry, not talking about why inflation is bad, she's talking about inflation and what families might be able to do to help themselves through inflation.
Narrator/Commentator
Cut 11 how does inflation compare to this newly important in the sense of the Supreme Court decision pending abortion issue? How do those two issues compare?
Katie Porter
Well, I don't think they compare. I think they actually reinforce each other. So the fact that things like inflation can happen and it become, become more expensive to feed your kids and to fuel your car is exactly why people need to be able to be in charge of how many mouths they're going to have to feed.
Joe Bob
So if inflation gets too bad and food becomes too expensive, here's an idea from again, Katie Porter. Go ahead and kill your kids. That's a good, good place to start there. Don't start with cutting back on spending. Don't start by trying to find a bigger, better job. Don't try and look around or different areas to live that might not be as expensive. And again, inflation is not good. It's hitting everybody hard. But I think the last step, actually, no, this is not even a step. We're not even going to go there and pretend that this is an option. But her suggestion again is first and foremost, go ahead and murder your kids. And if you don't have enough, if you don't have more mouse to feed, that's actually going to make inflation better for you. It's going to make about inflation better if you just murder half your family and then, and then go that route. It doesn't stop there. There are clip after clip after clip, which again we will bring to you. This is one Katie Porter talking Lake and Riley and the horrifying incident that in her own words, well, that actually shouldn't have much of an effect. Cut 12.
Katie Porter
This happens, I think, whenever we're dealing with violent crime. There is a sense of outrage, of sadness and of loss. But I think the important thing to focus on is any one instance shouldn't shape our overall immigration policy.
Joe Bob
Yeah, this beautiful young girl that was killed by a criminal illegal immigrant. This shouldn't shape any policy or decision making or anything like that because, well, of course, all of these murders done by criminal illegal immigrants are just isolated incidents. Why, why would we close the border? Just because, you know, just because, you know, some Americans are getting slaughtered by illegals. Why, why would we do that? Again, we're trying to figure out if she's stupid or evil. And I'm kind of leaning to both in some way. But this one's the kicker. This is the. This one, I think, takes the cake here. This is Katie Porter talking about pedophiles, and I'll just leave it at that. Cut 13.
Katie Porter
This allegation of groomer and pedophile. It is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity.
Joe Bob
All right, I don't even think we need to comment necessarily on that. I am getting, while watching that video, both vibes, just looking at her. Very stupid, but also stupid leading to evil. So that's, I think, where I'm gonna fall on this. Ultimately, pedophilia just, you know, it's a. It's just who they are. It's okay. All right, good luck with making that argument to the. To the general populace. But here's the thing. It's not just her. There are several people that I think are actually dumb. Katie Porter actually went to Harvard, and I'm not sure if this was like a DEI thing where she got into Harvard or again, she's more evil than stupid. I kind of tend to leave. I'm tending to lean tbt tbc.com let us know in the email whether you think she's stupid or evil, because this is really. There are only two options there. Or maybe like a gradation of like 40% evil, 60% stupid. I'd love to see those. Tptbusa.com you know, however, who is just objectively stupid and we're sticking in California is the senator from California, Senator Alex Padilla, or as JD Vance likes to call him, Jose Padilla. Not because of any other reason other than J.D. vance had no idea who this guy was when he stormed the DHS secretary. But this is from yesterday's hearings with Pam Bondi where Senator Padilla outs himself again as a very, very stupid man who couldn't handle Pam. Bonnie's response. This is cut five of again, a very, very dumb lib who's not evil necessarily, just stupid.
Senator Katie Britt
Right. Now, you asked me a question.
Senator Alex Padilla
Yes, I know where he said it because you said it earlier in the hearing. Fighting to keep said it earlier in the hearing. And yes, I have been paying attention.
Senator Katie Britt
You want order in here now, yet you stormed the Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?
Senator Alex Padilla
Attorney General, you are under oath. I did not storm the secretary. The video.
Interviewer
Oh, that was on video.
Senator Katie Britt
That video has been released, I believe very.
Senator Alex Padilla
Mr. Chairman, recent actions rate.
Joe Bob
So you got to have something prepared for that that's why I think he's got a dub. You need to know that that sort of thing is coming. Clearly, Pam, Bonnie's prepared. Like, hey, remember that time you stormed the secretary and I didn't do it? We actually have the video of that. Go ahead and play cut six because in case people need a refresher of him doing the very thing that he literally is denying in. In a testimony. Cut six. Senator ALEX I have questions for the.
Senator Alex Padilla
Secretary because the fact of the matter.
Joe Bob
Is a half a dozen criminals that you're rotating on your.
Senator Alex Padilla
Head.
Joe Bob
Dude, the more, the more I think about this and the more I watch this, I think he lost a bet. I think he was. He was making a bet with somebody like, hey, what do I. What can I do to get on tv? He's like, I bet you won't go rush the podium, I'm Senator Padilla.
Katie Porter
And.
Joe Bob
Get taken to the ground. I think that's what happened. But again, if we're. If we're providing more evidence of very, very dumb libs, to wrap it up, we will play cut seven. I believe this is him trying to make a point which was very easily called out by the people testifying and again made him look stupid. Cut 7.
Senator Alex Padilla
Just by show of hands, by the way. Raise your hand if you think all immigrants are criminals. Let the record reflect none of the witnesses raise. All immigrants are criminals.
Senator Katie Britt
Not all immigrants.
Senator Alex Padilla
I'm very. I'm very precise in my question. Very precise in my question. Raise your hand if you believe all immigrants are criminals.
Joe Bob
Criminals.
Interviewer
Illegal immigrants. Are you talking about regular immigrants?
Senator Alex Padilla
Microphone. All immigrants. I'm using my words.
Interviewer
Are you talking about illegal immigrants or immigrants who came here legally and did it the right way?
Joe Bob
Which one?
Senator Alex Padilla
By a show of hands. Raise your hand if you believe.
Interviewer
It's not going to be a proper answer.
Senator Alex Padilla
Or even. Or even most.
Narrator/Commentator
No.
Interviewer
All illegal immigrants are criminals.
Senator Alex Padilla
I don't think anyone here would disagree.
Joe Bob
There you go. Senator Padilla clowning himself yet again. I think we all understand the linguistic trick here that's being played with the. The immigrants versus the illegal immigrants. And I don't know. You gotta be smarter than that, Senator, to. You gotta be at least prepared for that. If the person testifying pushes back. We got a great show coming up. Senator Katie Britt is gonna join us in just a few minutes. Uh, don't go away. We'll be right back after the break. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight, where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback through mockery of terrible ideas from the libs. You can email the show anytime you want. Tbtpusa.com love seeing each and every one of your emails. I am super excited. I've been a big fan of Senator Katie Britt for a long time. I and she joins us now. Senator, thanks so much for taking the time.
Senator Katie Britt
Hey, thank you so much for having me on. And I want you to know I have been praying for the entire Turning Point family, for Erica, for the children. We are lifting you all up in prayer and just know that you are not alone and your example and your willingness to continue to speak truth, continue to spread the message and the foundation that Charlie laid, we are all so grateful and I just want you to know that.
Joe Bob
Thank you so much and we appreciate it. Again, obviously, very, very difficult times, but I think continuing on to, to fight the conservative mission is what Charlie would have wanted each and every one of us to do. Speaking of prayer, which again, we appreciate you introduced a resolution with a couple different senators about religious freedom recently. Can you tell us about that? What does that look like?
Senator Katie Britt
Look, I think it's never been more important to make sure that we are outspoken about protecting religious freedom and religious education in America. I mean, the cornerstone, it is a building block of our great nation. And so making sure that we can continue to do that moving forward. I mean, we literally have, you know, a whole group of people that seem to want to take out anybody who continues to step up and spread the word or is willing to talk about their faith. And so we thought, obviously, making sure that we raise our voice together as one and say that we believe in this, we're going to continue to fight for this and we're going to make sure that this cornerstone of American democracy is protected. We thought was just as important now as ever.
Joe Bob
Yeah, 100%. And it's honestly really concerning. And I don't want to drag you into a hyper partisan conversation about what we've seen all across the Internet in kind of the response to Charlie's assassination. But it appears to me that it's a lack of God that is the biggest overall problem.
Senator Katie Britt
Listen, Joe, Bob, you're right, like we took as a nation, took our eyes off the Lord. And when you do that, this is what happens. And so, you know, the foundation that Charlie laid and Charlie's ability to not only speak truth to people in a way that they could hear him, but he knew the word, the living word, and was able to utilize that in everyday conversations. I have seen that inspired are so many within our own community at home here on the Capitol and literally across the country. And so knowing how important that is and knowing kind of what we're up against and seeing for so long, I mean, don't you see, just even over the last 10 months since President Trump came back into office and we have Republican control of the House and the Senate, and we have started kind of pulling the curtain back, so to speak, of all of the things that Joe Biden had done and Democrats had pushed over the last several years. It is so startling. And the more that we pull the curtain back, the more we see how much work we have to do still yet in front of us. And I think getting back to our Judeo Christian values, reminding people what those are, putting not just our own eyes back to the Lord, but this nation's eyes back on the Lord, is critical to the continued success of our country. And I think when we're looking and we're fighting for the American dream for so many that we know as a result of Joe Biden's failed policies and his emphasis, emphasis on liberal left wing agenda has gone out of reach for so many people. I mean, I am the subcommittee chair for housing, for instance, on the Senate Banking Committee. And housing is unaffordable. You can look back, you know, not too long ago where people bought their first home at 25, 26 years old. Now people are 38 years or older if they have the opportunity to achieve that. And that is such a critical component and one example of where we have taken the American dream out of reach. But in my personal opinion, it is because we have. We as a nation have distanced ourselves from the Lord and distanced ourselves from the values that we hold so dear. And I for one, believe that it is more important now than ever to stand up and make sure that we're speaking this truth.
Joe Bob
Senator, I wasn't entirely expecting to go down this rabbit hole with you, but I'm curious, because what I've seen, again, anecdotally amongst friends and family, is that Charlie's ideas were much more mainstream than the mainstream led us to believe. And I'm curious, and again, there's no scientific evidence to prove any of this, but in the halls of the Senate, do you at all feel any of the people on the other side of the aisle are going, oh, shoot, more people think this conservative idea than, than I thought, because I'm sucked into the Twitter universe. Is that, is that something that you feel anecdotally or what is it like in this Senate?
Senator Katie Britt
You can absolutely feel it. This is a turning point. There is a change that has occurred. You can feel the undertone and you can feel the conversation rising. And the truth is, to your point, people tried to sideline Charlie. They tried the media intentionally, because they knew how powerful both his words and his knowledge and his ability to communicate were, that they tried to make him out to be someone that he was not, so that people did not listen. And what has happened now is that all of his words and videos and conversations have come up on people's feeds, in people's, and they're now actually getting to hear it for themselves. And when they hear it for themselves and they hear how and see how respectful he is and was to other people, even those who he knew had very different beliefs, he was able to find common ground to put. To put most of them at ease even before the conversation started, but then able to have challenging conversations in a respectful way that were based in truth and fact and based in the word. And the more that people actually hear it, it's interesting to watch people who thought that they weren't a Charlie Kirk fan and believed they knew exactly who Charlie Kirk was, but yet had never heard him utter a word, who are now hearing his words and are coming into a new thought process themselves. And realiz that so much of this is not only the cornerstone of our democracy and this great nation, our democratic republic, but it is actually the core of who we are. And without the Lord, none of us are ever going to reach our full potential. And our purpose, God's purpose for each and every one of our lives is different. He calls each of us to run a different race and run a different lane. But in every one of those lanes and places that we are, we are called to bring people to know the Lord. We are called people. You know, we. We are called to let people see him through us and our actions. And that's what Charlie did. And Charlie is now being heard literally around the world. His voice is in rooms that would have never allowed him to be in. And he is changing hearts and minds at a rapid pace. And I'll tell you, I have two teenagers and the impact I knew. I knew that Charlie had impacted their lives, but I did not know to the degree until this occurred, and it is rare, you know, that. That my children kind of really, you know, will, as most teenagers, kind of. Kind of let you into one of these spaces. And this shook them, but it also shook them up, too, in the sense that they are more determined and more diligent and more convinced than ever that they need to leave a Mark, just like he did. And so I think he is going to inspire people for generations to come. And Joe Baba, I think the more that people hear his words, the more they're going to come to know and love him. And I think that is exactly what we are seeing right now. And I would just ask you, I mean, seeing how this has affected my own home and we did not have the privilege of having the kind of relationship that you had with Charlie. You know, how are you and what are y' all feeling in the midst of all of this and what are you seeing? Because I feel it not only at home and when I go to my kids and games, and I feel it in the airport when people are talking to me. I feel it in the halls of Congress. And how are you and how are you feeling at this moment in time?
Joe Bob
Well, I don't want to get choked up, but it's not good. My wife and I were talking the other day. It's difficult to hold our own kids without thinking about Charlie and Erica and their kids. I, I don't, you know, I, I don't want to sound too, I guess, tenacious maybe, but also, you know, in this sadness, there is much more of a. This, this can't be let aside. This is going to be a thing that is going to affect me for the rest of my life, not even the foreseeable future until, you know, I, I no longer. No longer alive. And I think that is one of the biggest. Again, you, obviously, I would give all of the attitudes up for, for the, for the guy back. Right. Nobody wanted to see any of this happen, but this is a galvanized myself and the turning point community and just the country as a whole in a way that I don't think anybody could have expected. And, you know, again, the tragedy aside, I think this is exactly what Charlie would have wanted. And I think continuing to do the work that he was doing is, you know, something that I will cherish forever because of, you know, the impact that he had on me personally.
Senator Katie Britt
Well, thank you for doing that. And just know people that would have never heard his words are hearing them, and they'll come up and say, hey, did you. And I. And I, you know, and I had, I had misjudged him or boy, he makes like this makes sense and we need more of this. And I. So it is absolutely happening and I have seen it firsthand. I. Wow.
Joe Bob
Well, Senator, I'm sad that I didn't get to ask you about any of the other, the other important issues, but I Don't know. I think this conversation was much more important and maybe we'll have you back to talk about debanking and all of the other things that are important, important work that continue going. But I actually, I really appreciated this conversation. Thank you so much for taking it that direction.
Senator Katie Britt
Well, hey, I appreciate it too. And look, let's do, let's come back on, let's talk about it. When you look at debanking, we look at what happened over the Joe Biden administration using reputational risk in order to literally debunk conservatives. We have been standing up to that. Obviously we've got what the president has done. We're so grateful for that. We've got legislation but we have to continue to call it out. We've had hearings before but we'll keep doing it if that is what is necessary to make sure that we stop this. So yeah, let's definitely talk about that. We can also talk about Democrats shutting the government down and the ridiculousness of that. And there are no shortage of topics topic. So I certainly look forward to coming back on.
Joe Bob
Really, really appreciate you taking the time. Thank you so much. And keep, keep fighting the good fight.
Senator Katie Britt
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. It's an honor you.
Joe Bob
Thank you. Thanks. Coming up next, we've got, we've got more. I really appreciated that. That was, that was really nice. And I hate to take the tone, you know, into a more comedic and satirical route, but that's what we're going to do here on turning point tonight. Tptpc.com is the email we'll be right back at after this. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback mainly through the mockery of terrible ideas. We're going to get back to that. And it was a very sentimental segment last time and I, I appreciated that conversation so much. I recognize that there's other policy issues that we need to continue to address, obviously. But you know, I think the, the overall just impact of a guy like Charlie needs to be continued to, to be echoed constantly throughout the, the culture and especially with everything that we do. Speaking of things that Charlie would have wanted, it's to make fun of the hilarious libs who are not intentionally hilarious. They're just, they're just hilarious because they're either dumb or stupid. Kind of a continuation of segment one here is this dumb or stupid. First, before we get that remind you tptpca.com love seeing each and every one of your emails. Tptpsa.com if you agree with everything we've ever said here or you're wrong. Doesn't matter. Tptposa.com Send us an email about your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. Is Katie Porter dumb or evil? Is Alex Padilla dumb or evil? Who are we talking about next? Oh, J.B. pritzker. Fat or evil? Sorry, sorry. Dumb or evil? I get. I don't know what happened there. It's just a Freudian slip of some kind. By the way, producer Glenn laughing off camera is not helpful to me keeping a straight face here, delivering the hard, cold facts to you folks. He's busting up over there. Again, my slip of the tongue. Who. Where were we? Speaking of Governor JB Pritzker continuing to go on and on about how the Trump administration is terrible and evil and calling them Nazis, literally doing that in this next clip. I think this is fascinating to watch just overall, but again, laughing humorously as we do at Libs with terrible ideas. Play cut 10 here. This is the governor of Illinois. Watch this.
Narrator/Commentator
What I know is in the early days of the Nazi regime, they started slowly but surely taking away people's rights. And what we're seeing now is the very same thing. They've gone into cities now with the military. Think about that. In your lifetime, have you ever seen anything like that?
Joe Bob
No, actually haven't. And in your lifetime, have you ever seen anything as bad as the streets of Chicago? Drastic times call for drastic measures. And also, that's assuming that the context in which he's talking about is true, which it is not. President Trump is saying, yeah, we're gonna go ahead and protect all of the federal agents that are doing the job of the federal government, which is the law. So, yeah, it's not a military occupation there. Jb, keep munching on that sandwich and try and figure out what reality looks like to you. And hopefully eventually that'll line up with what reality actually is. But I thought the most interesting thing about, well, coming out of illinois was not JB's comments on the Nazis. It was actually the mayor of Chicago, 1, Brandon Johnson, who we like to make fun of frequently on this show. Uh, Trump tweeted out, hey, maybe you guys should follow the law or you should be arrested. Which we talked at length about this on, on the Internet, actually talking about. I think it's Adam Schiff, specifically Senator D. California, who was just aghast by the fact that Trump would even dare tweet, hey, maybe if you broke the law, you should be in jail. So not like, you know, he did that for Eight years in a row. But all that's beside the point. President Trump tweeted this and the response from the mayor of Chicago was in fact hilarious. Go ahead and pull up this graphic here. Trump said Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers. Yeah, it's part of your job to protect people. And if ICE officers are doing their job in your city, maybe don't let the rioters attack them starting there. But of course, this truth tweet. I call everything a tweet. It's just, I don't. That's just easier for me and my brain to X post Facebook posts, tweet, Instagram, whatever. All of it's a tweet to me. So don't get hung up on that. Don't send your emails. Also send your emails. TBT Tv com posted this and I thought this was hilarious from Mayor Brandon Johnson. What do you think? You're reading it on the screen, but what do you think he's going to go with here? This is not the first time. I'm not gonna get through this. Trump has tried to have a black man unjustly, justly arrested. I'm not going anywhere. Nobody cares that you're black, dude. We care that you're an idiot. They're two very, very different things. Of course he brings race into it. Of course he does. And no, nowhere in any part of this did Trump say the black mayor of Chicago should be arrested because he's black. Like, no, he said the mayor of Chicago maybe should do his job. Had nothing to do with race. But of course, of course you brought race to do it. Uh, that's why, that's why people beclown you so much. I think it was Thomas Sowell and I gotta memorize this quote. There's a lot of intricacies to what Thomas Sowell says in the diction that he uses, but he basically says racism is dead, but only kept alive by the grifters and people who continue pushing race because it's the only thing they have left. Mayor Brandon Johnson seems to be exactly one of them. But one of the reasons why he's so upset about this, among many other things, is, well, that ICE is taking to the streets to arrest people who are here illegally. And that's actually what the shutdown is over. In case, you know, I'm not going to pretend that you don't know and re explain it to you. Illegal health care is a big sticking point. With the shutdown. Democrats or libs want to healthcare for illegals and then Claim to say that. No, we don't. Here is the leader of the minority Senate, Senator Chuck Schumer out of New York, saying that it's just not true. It's not true. We are not giving health care to illegals. Play cut 8. We're not pushing to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants. That's a lie. It's been proven to be a lie over and over again. But he doesn't. He just keeps restating the lie because he's so afraid of the truth. Lying about lying is always such an interesting thing in the modern world. Uh, yeah. No one is saying health insurance. We're saying healthcare. We're being very precise with our language. Senator, maybe you should continue doing the same or at least try doing the same. Um, interestingly enough, again, we are not giving healthcare to illegals in this country under any circumstances. That's definitely not happening. And also, when the previous administration let the border wide open, we had reports like this. Play cut nine.
Interviewer
Now a new warning. A thousand miles away in New York City, where officials tell us resources are overwhelmed across public hospitals in New York City, a quarter of the patients are now migrants. Over the last year, nearly 30,000 visits by migrants and 300 new babies born to migrant moms.
Joe Bob
Okay, so 30,000 would say 300,000 or 30,000. I got flipped up with the 300 new illegals moms. But 25% of hospital visits in New York City were illegals. Now that's not healthcare, by the way. That's just hospital visits that the taxpayer ends up footing the bill for. That. That's. That's not health care at all. That's just, well, illegals using our healthcare system and us taxpayers getting the bill for it. That is the sticking point there. Libs want to expand the Medicaid coverages that went crazy overboard during COVID And conservatives are just like, hey, maybe we should like put this back into what it was pre Covid. And libs are like, you're taking away people's health care. This is crazy. It was interesting too. The Washington Post, of all places, had a big article. Maybe we should bring this on later on in the week week about. Yeah, one of the biggest problems is the Affordable Healthcare act, which made healthcare extremely unaffordable. Ironically named by the Obama administration. But we can dig into that a little bit more a little bit later. Geez. I want to tell you about this chef that was deported. The Texas Tribune did a really big feel good piece. We'll do it very, very quickly as we're limited on time because I ramble too long and talk to a senator and, and it's my fault we're running out of time. But I, I'm, I'm wasting time talking about how we're running out of time. Uh, the Texas Tribune said a well known business owner who, who won international following in the years when George W. Bush brought hordes of journalists and politicians to Waco was deported within 24 hours by the ICE people, who are the mean, mean ICE people who were deporting people. Uh, later on in the article it says he had no criminal record. How could they do that? Only a two decade old deportion order for illegal re entry that immigration officials had never attempted to enforce. Oh, all right. This beloved chef, which I, we probably could go on at length about this was deported, no criminal record except for the crime of re entering the country illegally and being told to leave. That the only reason he got deported. Hilarious. Doubt that story is going to make any headway, but if it becomes a thing, maybe we'll go bigger on it. There's some really interesting details about that, but we're running out of time. We will be right back Here on Turning Point tonight, there is a new business that is getting the Bud Light treatment which I'm sure you're aware of and I'm sure you've seen Netflix spoiler alert. So stay tuned after the break. We're going to discuss that. And then the following segment is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard in your entire life and I swear to you, it is serious. All that more coming up after the break. Don't go away. We'll be right back. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback through the mockery of terrible ideas, or in this case, the boycott of terrible companies pushing terrible ideas. We'll get to that in just a second. I got to remind you about the email. Tptpusa.com Love seeing each and every one of your emails. Also got to remind you of the social media platforms. I got to keep pushing this a little bit more. We're doing more. Love doing this show and there are some things that we could say on Real America's Voice that we can't say on the Internet. So it's kind of like a two way street here. You got to follow us on all of these social media platforms. Just type in job, you'll be able to find me. But also the Turning Point tonight, YouTube channel and Rumble channel. Well, I'm not sure if we have a rumble channel so you'll be able to find it. But you do got to go find that on social media because there's going to be new and exclusive stuff only coming to the social media platforms. And you also have to keep watching here because there's exclusive things happening here that we can't post on social media under threat of censorship by the people who claim that we're doing the censorship. Interestingly enough, and ironically enough Anyways, Social Media TBT tbsa.com is the email There is a new Bud Light in town and it is Netflix. And I know people have been talking about this for a week, but I found an interesting compilation I think put out by libs of TikTok who is doing fantastic work. They are sitting through the eye bleeding inducing content that apparently Netflix is putting out for your kids. I'm going to play you a clip of this. It's kind of a compilation here, a little bit, a little bit longer, but it's worth seeing. And then we'll get to some of the numbers of people fleeing Netflix. Watch this.
Katie Porter
I'm Trans Norma.
Joe Bob
How about you break out those moves for your two biggest fans?
Katie Porter
I Shades pronouns are they them, he or she Just doesn't fit who I am.
Joe Bob
As a transberry I love living out.
Senator Katie Britt
Loud as my most authentic self.
Interviewer
Well, my heart says that the way I feel most myself is to go by the name Fred. That's because I'm non binary and Fred is the name that fits me best.
Joe Bob
The entire point of all of this sort of stuff is to show that conservatives do have power in the market marketplace. Elon Musk interestingly tacked onto this, which resulted in up at this point a 5% loss in all of Netflix stock. And also too I I want to make it clear that I think that actually has more of an impact than if it was like a big massive loss. Because a big massive loss could have been all the hedge fund guys trying to pile on to a cultural thing that is happening and therefore they're going to buy a bunch of the stock at a cheap level and increase the the price of it, or at least let it go back to normal. That would have would have what I would have thought if it was a bigger dip. Instead it seems to be people genuinely concerned retail investors, if you will, not necessarily investing institutions that are pulling their money out of Netflix. Netflix also is putting some question marks in the air of whether or not they're going to keep their DEI higher, which there's not enough time to get into specifically because I Do want to play in the next segment? One of the most interesting and funny and hilarious and also scary things I think I saw on the Internet in the last couple days. There's more to get on this in the. In the weeds, but the guy that they had brought in a couple of years ago to do the DEI ness at Netflix is troubling, to say the least. I'm gonna promise myself. We're gonna break on time. We're gonna go to a break. Stick around, because this interview on the streets of New York on October 7, the two years since the date of the horrible attack on Israel, is unbelievable. Don't go away. We'll be right back. Welcome back to Turning Point. Tonight, together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. You can email the show anytime you want. Tbtpusa.com Point us in the direction that we should be going in. Stories that you might hear in your local neighborhood that should be national stories. TPTP USA.com love to see each and every one of your emails. Also go to YouTube, our YouTube channel. Subscribe there. You can also find me on my personal Facebook accounts, Instagram, all this, the social media platforms. That's where you keep up with all of the things going on. That's where you can also participate in little gimmicks like the jokes on you and all that sort of stuff. But social media, email, do it. We love to see you do it. I appreciate you sticking around and tuning in. As promised, the craziest things I think I've heard in a very long time. Now, to preface, I reserve the right to, I guess recant, but I don't even necessarily know that if this is a joke, it could be. It very. I kind of hope this is a joke, to be honest with you. At this point in time, there's nothing that I have found on the Internet. After scrolling for a while to show me that this is clearly and definitively objectively satire or a joke, I have not found that yet. Although if that con. If that becomes true, honestly, I, I think I. It would be less. It would make more sense to me if this was a joke. But at this point in time, I have no evidence to know to, to, to point to the fact that this guy is kidding. Without further ado, the craziest thing you'll hear all week. Watch this.
Interviewer 2
Is this the. This is the translate.
Controversial Guest
This is the Palestinian flag mixed with the translate. Okay.
Interviewer 2
What do you say to those who, who say that trans people would be killed in Palestine?
Controversial Guest
I mean, I don't know about that, but I know that I, I'm standing here Today, at least 50% of the Gazan government needs to be trans women like Muhammad himself. Muhammad herself was her sacked a trans lesbian.
Interviewer 2
Muhammad was a woman.
Controversial Guest
Yeah. Islam is a trans idea. It's a trans religion. If Muhammad herself was a proud trans lesbian.
Joe Bob
I don't, I don't know. Like, here's the thing. Producer Glenn and I were talking about this. If this is a joke, one, he goes on for like five minutes. We're gonna play another quick clip of this, but he goes on for like five minutes. If this is a joke, that's, that's very well put together.
Katie Porter
And.
Joe Bob
Assuming that it's a joke, if it is a joke, joke, it's crazy that we can't tell. That's, that's, I think the biggest thing if, if, like it could be that this guy is serious. The fact that we don't know is part of the problem. Here's this next clip where it gets even more ridiculous, if you can believe that. Watch this. Cut 14.
Controversial Guest
Like, Islam is a gay religion.
Interviewer 2
They, they ask, they ask Muslims in Gaza what you would do with trans people. They say that we don't have that here. We kill those people.
Controversial Guest
I mean, I don't know. But that's why we need to protest harder that we need at least 50% of the Palestinian government to be trans women. How do we make the rest of.
Interviewer 2
The lgbt, how do we make that happen?
Controversial Guest
I mean, we have to protest. We have to push, put pressure on the Jews who control the world to make this happen. Like, we, they own everything. We have to make this.
Interviewer 2
Are you Jewish?
Controversial Guest
No, I, I'm, I'm Italian and Muslim.
Interviewer 2
But how did Jews start owning everything?
Controversial Guest
I don't know. They, they use their dark magic, I guess. Like, I, I'm Jewish and I, I.
Interviewer 2
I would like to have some magic, but I don't feel like I have any magic. How do you think I can access this dark magic?
Controversial Guest
I don't know if you're maybe using your magic on me right now.
Joe Bob
No, I. TBT tpusa.com if you have any input on whether or not this is a joke. Again, I did look, looked relatively hard to see if there was any. This guy, they pointed to a YouTube channel. The YouTube channel is, just doesn't really have any subscribers or any viewership. It, it just seems like a crazy person who started a YouTube channel, which leads me to believe that this guy is serious. But again, I reserve the right to be fooled. And if that is the case there is a bigger problem at play. The fact that I don't know and the fact that I'm not sure you all know. But again, tptpsa.com if you have any input on this is is the more concerning part. One of the problems with satirizing the libs is that however far you go and the Babylon Bee has run into this problem, there is a high likelihood that somebody on the left actually believes the thing that you're trying to satirize. That is a big problem. And those people tend to be more mainstream than I think I think people would be comfortable with admitting. So again, TPT tbsa.com if you want to weigh in on whether or not that is that is real or that is true. Appreciate you sticking around, tuning in. I will be in North Dakota tomorrow with Glenn Beck at the University of North Dakota at the continued Turning Point Tour. Would love to see if you, if you if you happen to be there, come and shake my hand. Would love to say hi. We will. Well tomorrow that's that's the gets going to be the show tomorrow. But I'll see you again Friday, same time, same place. God bless America. This is an I Heart podcast.

Original Air Date: October 9, 2025
On this episode of Turning Point Tonight, host Joe Bob delivers his signature blend of sharp political commentary and satirical mockery, focusing on evaluating prominent liberal politicians through the question: "Are libs dumb or evil?" The episode hones in on recent controversies surrounding California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter and Senator Alex Padilla, as well as a broader critique of progressive leadership, media narratives, and woke corporate policies. Later, Senator Katie Britt joins for a heartfelt discussion about faith, American values, and the legacy of Charlie Kirk. The show wraps up by lampooning woke content on Netflix, missteps by progressive politicians, and an unhinged viral street interview.
The episode is characterized by punchy satire, regular use of hyperbole, and irreverent humor—particularly in the monologue segments—mixed with moments of sincerity and pathos during the conversation with Senator Britt. Joe Bob consistently frames liberal policies and politicians as either incompetent, maliciously deceptive, or both, using news clips, personal anecdotes, and satirical summarization.
This episode of Turning Point Tonight encapsulates the show’s blend of conservative critique, biting satire, and cultural mockery, while pausing for a deeply personal conversation on faith, national identity, and the power of legacy. From lambasting woke corporations and progressive politicians to expressing heartfelt solidarity in the wake of tragedy, Joe Bob ties all themes back to the battle for America’s future and the importance of values, vigilance, and—above all—mockery of "terrible ideas."
