Turning Point Tonight Host
What is this country supposed to be? Highlights from the speech that Erica Kirk gave yesterday. I think really, really hammer some very important points that we should all be aware of. Also we should deport one particular guy you're gonna really like. Who I think that we should get the heck out of our country. And we won in the whole trans whatever debate. There are some really interesting statistics that say the fight isn't entirely over, but we've pretty much dominated that field and the transgenderism is going bye bye. 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 continuing to chart the course of America's cultural comeback by mocking terrible lib ideas, among other things. This is Turning Point tonight. You can email the show anytime you want. Tptpusa.com youm can find that that at the bottom of the screen right there. TPTP USA.com we love hearing your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms.

Even though we love being on this channel. Go subscribe to our Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel. Subscribe as well as any of the other social media platforms. Just type in J O B o B. Be able to find pretty much anything that we are doing. I want to start the show off specifically, as I mentioned yesterday before we aired the entirety of Charlie Kirk's Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, I mentioned some words from the Declaration of Independence that I think are extremely important and need to be considered by everybody because they're, they're it is a living document that allows us to guide the way forward in the American idea. I want to first start off by playing a couple clips from Erica. Actually, one clip from Erica. Then I'll kind of restate what it is that we're talking about in the Declaration of Independence. Now, I recognize you come to this show and it's probably late at night where you're at, to see some levity and some humor. And we will get there. Like I said, there's one specific individual that we should deport immediately, and I think you'll like that. But first, I do think that this is a foundational thing that we should all be in understanding of. And I think Erica highlighted it so well yesterday that we should expand just a little bit more on that. So watch this clip from Erica yesterday and we'll kind of get into the. The Declaration of Independence and some more. Some more heady philosophy than you're probably used to seeing on this show. Watch this cut too.
- [03:24]
Erica Kirk
I believe the very existence of the Presidential Medal of Freedom reminds us that the national interest of the United States has always been freedom. Our founders etched it into the preamble of our Constitution. And those words are not relics on parchment. They are a living covenant. The blessings of liberty are not man's invention. They are God's endowment. Charlie lived for those blessings, not as abstract words, but as sacred promises.
- [04:02]
Turning Point Tonight Host
She said that so perfectly. And I know she's mentioning the Constitution, but I think the Declaration of Independence puts it a little bit more succinctly. So the words I said yesterday were the. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator, which will hit on again in a little bit with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of. Of happiness. That is exactly what Erica is mentioning, and it's exactly what I think we need to hold on to as a part of understanding what the American idea is. Now, as a part of that, what we need to understand is there are these things called first principles. It is the thing that you believe wholeheartedly because they are objectively true. Now, the beginning of this, this little statement that's from the Declaration of Independence says we hold these truths to be self evident. What is self evident actually mean? A cursory understanding is. Well, this is obvious, of course. This is. This is obvious. And everybody knows this in the way that it's obvious that the sky is blue, it's obvious that water is wet. All of these things are obvious. Yes, kind of. But that's not technically what self evident means here. Yes, it's obvious, but it's not obvious. To the plain sight of any individual. And it's obvious after you've thought and you've reasoned with these centuries of human thinking, the century of centuries of philosophical and religious thought, only after you've reckoned with all of that do things become clear and obvious. And that's what the founders meant by self evident. It wasn't obvious that men are created equal to the plain person's eyes. Actually, it's quite the opposite. If you look through the history of humanity, not everyone was equal. That's not a thing that existed in the course of human history up until the American experience started. The experiment started in 1776. What they mean by we hold these truths to be self evident means that we've wrestled with, we've grappled with the entirety of human philosophy and we've now come to understand that these are the things that are true. I want to briefly quote Descartes here, philosopher, way back when where he said this. Regarding the principles that we should consider, first we must commence this. We must commence with the investigation of those first causes, the first principles, which are called principles. Now these principles must possess two conditions. In the first place, they must be so clear and so evident that, that the human mind, when it attentively considers them, cannot doubt their truth. We hold these truths to be self evident. In the second place, the knowledge of other things must be so dependent on them, the first principles, as that though the principles themselves may indeed be known apart from what depends on them, the latter cannot nevertheless be known apart from the former. In other words, again after long consideration, that is when the truth becomes clear. That is when the truth that all men are created equal, that the system should be designed to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Only after we consider all of these things do those things become truth and self evident. Go ahead and play Cut two here. Sorry, cut three here from Erica where she continues on in. In that vein that the Founders were thinking about. Watch this.
- [07:35]
Erica Kirk
Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos. And he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth. And I remember in one of his speeches he told the audience that the opposite of liberty isn't law, he said it's captivity. And that the freest people in the world are those whose hearts belong to Christ.
- [08:06]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Which again is exactly true. I'm going to play another cut from Erica a little bit later. That kind of hammers down that point a little bit more. But before that we want to discuss what's going on a little bit later on in the Declaration of Independence where it says prudence. Indeed, prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light or transient causes. In other words, in if you understand the self evident truths that come from understanding the entire scope of philosophical and religious thought, specifically of Christian values, only then will you have the ability to discuss difficult topics with prudence. The government was not designed to go to the whims in this way and that way. And these people think this, and these people think men can be women and these people think that victims are, are actually the criminals, are actually the victims. All of that stuff is only possible when someone doesn't hold the self evident truths that the founders wanted to uphold. With that play cut 4, because this is where Eric, I think really brings it home.
- [09:08]
Erica Kirk
And he reminded us that in a world that tells us freedom is doing whatever you want to do, the real freedom is the power to live freely and to do what is right. And in one of his journal entries he wrote that he wanted everyone to know that you can't have liberty without moral responsibility. Freedom divorced from faith eventually just destroys itself.
- [09:37]
Turning Point Tonight Host
John Adams famously said that this country and this government was designed for a moral and religious people. And that is what Erica is hitting at so hard and so fervently and what Charlie was fighting so hard to maintain. This country was designed on truths that are self evident, on truths that have been wrestled with over the course of human history. And those truths became evident that all men are created equal and freedom is the maximum priority for the government to uphold. And if you lose the course of where that freedom comes from, where those self evident truths come from, you will lose your way entirely as an individual, but in this case specifically as a country. This country was designed for a moral and religious people. And if we don't have that as collective society, we will lose the country. That is what Charlie was fighting so hard for. That is what I am so encouraged that Erica understands very, very deeply. And that is what we are continuing to do here on the conservative side of the political spectrum here in the United States of America, we hold these truths to be self evident. We have wrestled with the thoughts and the philosophical diatribes of the past and we've come to an understanding of this is what our priorities are. Freedom only works if a person can control themselves. If a person is free to do whatever they want. That is exactly what Erica said. The country and the individual devolves into chaos. I continue to be so impressed with Erica again in the face of unbelievable tragedy. I know I've mentioned that before. But her speech yesterday, I think, really continues to further the tone that Charlie was taking in trying to maintain the ideas and the ideals that the founders set forth to guide this country in the proper and correct direction. So like I've said a million times, God bless Charlie Kirk, God bless Erica Kirk, God bless America. We are so encouraged by the continued direction of Turning Point usa. It's its new leader, and the direction of the conservative movement as a whole. I appreciate you. I appreciate you sticking with me. For you, that, again, probably more philosophical content that you probably see on this show. But I think that is so important that we all understand as this is the direction for the country and the conservative movement going forward with that. There's also some other interesting news that came out yesterday. Promises made and promises kept in so many different ways, especially revolving around the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. The. The State Department said, hey, we've got at least six. The six were mentioned yesterday. Six folks that were here on visas that are gonna go bye bye. No more visas for people who said some horrible things about one Charlie Kirk. I want to play you a clip from Marco Rubio just days after Charlie's assassination where he said, hey, we are going to do this. And he defended his reasoning behind that. Go ahead and play whatever this cut is about. Charlie Kirk, you're a foreigner and you're out just celebrating the assassination of someone who was speaking somewhere. I mean, we don't watch. Any questions. Why would we want to give a visa to someone who thinks it's good that someone was murdered in the public square? It's just common sense to me. Which is exactly the case. Yeah. Why would we want these people in our country? They don't share the values that this country was built on. Because clearly, if you celebrate the murder of any individual, more specifically an individual as so, so prominent as Charlie, well, then you don't think all men are created equal and therefore you don't share the values that are self evident in this country, and therefore you should leave. I've said a number of times I think more people should have gotten fired and maybe they will. Maybe they'll be. They'll. They'll face that sort of justice when it comes. Eventually down the line, maybe that'll happen. But the people that said horrible, horrible things about Charlie should face consequences in the real world. And more specifically, if you're in this country because you asked to be here. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and make sure you adhere to the, the values of the country that you so desperately want to Come into the New York Times, interestingly enough, had a different way of phrasing this. Let me read you a little bit from the New York Times article about this. Among the examples the State Department listed on Tuesday was an Argentine. I don't want to read her words. Just trust me in saying that they, they are horrible. Let's pull up this, this first. This graphic of this, of this lady. I'm not sure if it's a lady specifically. She's got all of the, the colors. But, yeah, person who has all of the things in her bio visa goes bye bye. She said some. She said some crazy. She said, Charlie's obviously a racist, a xenophobe, misogynistic, and deserves to burn in hell. Sorry, I didn't think I wanted to share what she specifically said, but I, I don't know. Now I'm angry. Uh, so, yeah, uh, bye bye. What was also interesting too is, well, the New York Times continues to say the other examples was of a German who said that when fascists die, Democrats don't complain, which again, is disgusting and horrible. And a Brazilian who posted that Mr. Kirk died too late, which again is grounds for saying goodbye, no longer welcome in this country because you don't adhere to the values of this country. I do want to pull up some of the comments that were in the comments section of that article on Facebook, specifically. Go ahead and throw those on the screen if you can. I don't know who this person is, just a random person. But this really kind of summarizes the sentiment of people in the comments section. I would like to see what they call celebrating his death. Basically casting some sort of doubt of like, no, no, they're just kicking people out. They don't want. No. All of the examples that even the New York Times given, if this doofus had just clicked the article. Yeah, clearly these are celebratory posts and our grounds for getting your visa removed. Then the comment that responds there. Anyone who doesn't feel the need to mourn, the guy is apparently celebrating. Uh, yeah, again, no, if you just clicked the article dum dum, you would have figured out that, no, these are people actually celebrating, again, the death of a person. There were also comments talking about freedom of speech. Um, and that's fine. The Constitution allows for anybody in the country to have freedom of speech, even if they're not here as American citizens. But the obvious argument to that is, well, you don't need to be in this country, and words have consequences. Uh, if they were being charged criminally, that would be a First Amendment violation. I would be against them being charged criminally, of course, unless there's a threat and there's obviously nuance there. But none of these people are being charged criminally with anything. So this isn't a First Amendment thing. It's an immigration thing. And if the secretary of State and the State Department as a whole deems people by what they say to not be in alignment with what we want in the United States of America, we go back to the Marco Rubio clip of effectively saying, we don't want you here. Bye, bye. So that's that. Like I said, I think more people should have gotten fired and maybe they will. Hopefully they will. But having free speech means that you won't be criminally prosecuted for things that you say. It doesn't mean that we have to let you in to the country that we are trying so desperately to save. We have a ton of stuff to get to today. Again, like I said, one specific guy that I think we all can agree should be deported. I think that should be a high priority for the State Department for the immigration people to get this guy out of the country. He's dating a pop singer and spotted off the coast of California, in which case, why was he in the United States to begin with? I'm mostly kidding on that, as well as a ton of stuff. We're going to talk to Turning Points White House correspondent Monica Page about the memorial yesterday and kind of the feeling I really liked her description of what she gave of what it was like in the Rose Garden yesterday during the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, among so much more.

You can email the show anytime you want. Tbtpusa.com Send in your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. Are we on track to maintain the American idea of or have we deviated? Let us know tptpusa.com also subscribe to our YouTube channel as well as any other of the social media platforms where you can catch any segment that you missed, including some exclusive content. Love to see you on the social media apps as well. Like I mentioned, we are winning in the transgender fight. It may not seem like it because I think the media and the academy are really late to play catch up to where the society and the culture culture is, but I think this study and these graphs have definitively placed us in an advantageous position into crushing the idea of transgenderism. Go ahead and pull this crap up here Glenn. The study done. This is actually a culmination of a lot of different studies, but over the course of the last couple years, specifically as transgenderism has become a hot button issue, especially among conservative circles in that push the the identification of many young people, students specifically identifying as neither female or male and some non binary trans whatever is tanking. Thank goodness all of the numbers seem to be going in the correct direction because, well, reality is a thing. And I think more people are continuing to wake up because they're watching channels like Real America's Voice, they are watching independent media and they're not beholden to the the Alphabet networks that push a one track narrative and are also a bunch of godless heathens. But we don't need to necessarily get into that at the moment you may ask, well, well, how is it that we are winning so much? And that's a valid question. I think it probably can be stilled. Most distilled, most aptly in videos like this where people who have eyes and understand the way the world works can see that the whole transgender everything is bat s crazy. This is a clip from a volleyball game that was covered by Rebel News in the communist hellhole that is Canada. In which. Well, I'll let the video explain for itself. Play this cut 5 and get an idea of why people are realizing, oh, this is insane. Check this out. Female volleyball game that we witnessed earlier featured not one, not two, not three, not four, but five men pretending to be females. Three were on Seneca, two were on Centennial. Gee, can you imagine which side won? Not only that, the male players were always on the ground court. So you had biological female substitutes just sitting on the bench for the entire game. Yeah, that's going on in Canada. And those of us with eyes and sentience go, oh that, that's crazy. Now interestingly enough, in Canada this is a 22 community colleges outside of the Toronto area, which is in the province of Ontario, which is houses the capital of Canada and is probably the wokest of the providences. But even in Canada there is good news around these Province of Alberta as of as of September 1, 2025 have said, hey, you got to compete in the sports that your gender is. Your gender is. I was going to say your gender is assigned, but that even plays into the language that they have. What you are is what sport that you're going to compete in. No ifs, ands or buts, no questions, asks. That's just reality. And that's what we're going to stick to. Like I said, we are winning this argument because sane people have eyes. And when people like this in the next clip present alternatives, this is what the woke mind virus promotes as a good enough answer. Go ahead and play. Cut, cut nine here. I don't know who this is, but this is representative of how many many of the woksters view this whole. This whole trans sports issue. Play this cut 9. So John's suggestion is to have a.
- [24:58]
Joe Bob
Women'S and an open category and the.
- [25:02]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Open category will be 99 cisgender male.
- [25:07]
Joe Bob
And so what you are asking is.
- [25:10]
Turning Point Tonight Host
For trans women to compete in a category which is virtually entirely CIS men.
- [25:19]
Joe Bob
And just call it an open category.
- [25:23]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Most trans women, myself included, would rather quit their sport than to compete in such a category. Is that a threat or a promise? Is that. Hold on, you you're saying you would rather not compete at all than compete in an open category. Now, by the way, I don't subscribe to any of those sorts of things. Having a women and an open, that, that's just crazy. Just have men and women's sports like people have done since, I don't know, the dawn of time. But to then make the argument, well, this is not going to be fair because trans women, so men are going to have to compete against men. I. We might as well just opt out. As long as you promise. I think we're all going to be okay in accepting that. Now, like I said, the fight is not necessarily over. There's a lot of work still to be done because there are still academia and the mainstream media that haven't yet caught up with the WOKE Mind virus and how that's taken over so much of the powerful in our society. But at the same time, uh, we've mentioned a couple weeks ago that there are various changes, a lot across a lot of the universities and a lot of the mainstream media. CBS specifically is getting rid of Colbert because he had low ratings and wasn't bringing in any money. But also he had low ratings. He wasn't bringing in any money because he was a part of the WOKE system and therefore nobody wanted to watch that. CBS took note, hired Bari Weiss, who again, I saw the emails, a bunch of you are not big Barry Weiss fans, and that's okay. There's a lot of things that I disagree with her fervently on, but she also subscribes to the idea that, well, reality is a thing and we should continue to defend reality and therefore the west as a whole. The bottom line is, judging by those graphs and judging by the videos that you just watched, know that the majority of the culture and the majority of society understand that what is being pushed by the, quote, unquote powerful elite. We all know that's nonsense, and we are going to continue to recognize it as nonsense until we have entirely won. We are winning. We have won in so many ways and in so many facets, but we will eventually win out entirely. And that is what I am rooting for. And that's what you folks at home can help us do in shifting the culture towards conservative and American values. You can email the show anytime you want. TBTPUSA.com would love to see your thoughts. What would you do if you were watching that volleyball game in Canada? Let us know with the email. TBT tbusa.com Would you just leave?

It's time to check in with Turning Point's White House correspondent, Monica Page at the White House. Monica, first things first. Yesterday you were at the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk. I just, broadly speaking, would love your thoughts overall of the ceremony, kind of the mood on the ground and what you, what you took in during what I think is a momentous occasion.
- [29:31]
Joe Bob
Well, Joe, Bob, it was kind of really hard to describe the feelings that you had on the ground there because at some points it felt like a celebration of life, of course, and other times, you know, it's just so sad and so tragic that this happened in general. So just to have, you know, the people there come together, his family, Erica's family, his close friends, members of our TPUSA family, be there. The music that they were playing on the speakers in the rose garden, the sun coming out from behind the clouds. I was describing it to your producer before our show started that, you know, it just felt very hauntingly beautiful. Like there was just something about it that was, I mean, of course it was so beautiful, but there was just a, a feeling of just solemn. It's very hard to describe. But alas, like, overall it was very beautiful. President Trump did right by Charlie and it was really beautiful to see him pay his respects, share some of his personal stories with Charlie and of course, you know, see his beautiful wife Erica and her remarks as well that were deeply emotional, especially when she mentioned her daughter of course, there wasn't a single dry eye, I don't think even among us in the press, because it's just, it's just a horrible, horrible situation to be going through.
- [30:45]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Yeah, we mentioned it a little bit yesterday and President Trump actually touched on it too. But what was that turnaround time like? Because, you know, he's, he's going about the world solving global crisis, but then still has time to make it all the way back. Obviously he was prioritizing this, made it something that he wasn't going to miss. But also, like, what was that as a part of, like the press pool? And I know you weren't in Jerusalem specifically, but that turnaround time seemed, had to be really, really tight. Was there any comments or you guys talking about that in the, in the press, about how tight that was?
- [31:18]
Joe Bob
Oh, yeah. I mean, it was just hours between events between him landing at 2:45am Eastern Time, between, you know, this event and handling matters in between those two events. Because it's not like he was doing nothing all day leading up to that event. For Charlie, he moved heaven and earth to be there. Like, he really made it his priority and his all because Charlie was a friend of his. So if he would do anything for anybody, especially a friend or a family member very close to him. So it just speaks volumes as to the President's character and who he is as a person. You know, Charlie deserved to be honored rightfully so and in the right way. And the President made it happen. And it was, it was just really beautiful to see.
- [31:59]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Yeah, it was. I can imagine. Being there on the ground was very, very moving. But even coming through the TV screen, it was also, also moving. My wife and I had to empty emptied a tissue box on our couch watching that beautiful Beatles there. And I like, I like how you described it. Hauntingly beautiful. It's, it's a pretty apt way to describe what was going on there. To change topics entirely. The Pentagon. You happen to be at the Pentagon today. Tell us what you were doing, what we can look forward to. And also some of the other new. You may have been the last reporter in the Pentagon, possibly. Monica Page, Turning points White House correspondent.
- [32:36]
Joe Bob
It was so cool. Okay, so it was completely like, it wasn't even planned. But I mean the interview that I had with the press secretary of the Department of War, Kingsley Wilson, that was planned, but unbeknownst to us, they would be telling the members of the press who cover the Pentagon you better clear out your workspace by 5pm Eastern time. Or, you know, we're going to call security and get you out of here ourselves. Essentially why that is the way it is. There's a huge memo going around on social media. I'm sure many of our audience have seen it. It's, it's the Department of War saying, listen, here are specific guidelines to cover the Pentagon and here's how you can avoid getting in trouble. Essentially, there are specific wings and areas of the Pentagon where press and reporters can access, and there are many places where they cannot access. And when I was speaking to the press secretary, she told me she kind of likened it and compared it to how we cover the White House here. Just, you wouldn't just waltz into Secretary Pete Hegseth's office on any day, just like we wouldn't just waltz into the Oval Office and looked for President Trump. That's just not how things work. A lot of the things that happen are discussed, are very classified material at the Pentagon. It's highly confidential, and it's just a national security risk to have any sort of reporter running around, wandering, roaming through the walls in the halls of the Pentagon. So they're saying, listen, if you want specific interviews, contact us. We're happy to give you more information. If you still want to cover the Pentagon, you can do so from your bureau. But please, like, sign on and just acknowledge that you understand our new rules. And of the mainstream media is just kind of blowing it out of proportion, saying this is an attack on our First Amendment rights as reporters, as journalists. But essentially it's common sense rules. You know, you shouldn't be wandering the halls of raising Cain's office and wandering around Pete Hegsett's office. That's just not how you should be conducting yourself, especially as a journalist. You know, you should be going about things the right way, asking for permission for interviews, you know, what can we expect? Get more information. But essentially, I'm very excited to share that interview with you guys as it comes out. We just did the interview with the Department of War press secretary, Kingsley Wilson. She's fantastic. She dives into all of this and explains it for herself, but she really made it seem like, hey, listen, the mainstream media is really blowing this out. And Joe Bob, it was really funny because I saw the workspaces and the offices of these media outlets that were literally clearing out their desks because they didn't want to sign the I understand memo from the Pentagon. So I saw desks and chairs being wheeled out of these offices. I believe only one media outlet signed on, and that's one America News And I think that they're going to be looking to, to maybe even replace some of the workspaces that are empty now with new ones. And that could mean maybe more news outlets, maybe independent media as well. So they're kind of exhausting all different kinds of options right now. But they seem very excited. The mood in the Pentagon today was very excited. They're very happy that, you know, the bad apples just kind of weed themselves out essentially.

So Monica, if I get this correct, you can't just walk into the Oval Office wearing a banana suit, Is that. That's correct?
- [35:43]
Joe Bob
No, that's censorship.
- [35:45]
Turning Point Tonight Host
That is censorship. Any rules are censorship.
- [35:49]
Joe Bob
That's, yeah, I, my First Amendment is under attack.
- [35:52]
Turning Point Tonight Host
Joe Bob yeah, I look forward to them trying to rebuttal that. My, my guess is they'll make a big stink about this and then in two weeks they'll go, yeah, these rules are pretty reasonable. We'll go ahead and abide by again, the rules that probably need to exist in a place that has the world's most coveted secrets, the Pentagon. So makes makes sense to me. But looking forward to seeing that interview with you tomorrow, hopefully, or when you get it. It's, I recognize the editing process takes a little while, but yeah. Monica Page, Turning Points White House correspondent. Thanks so much for checking in. Really interesting information and I love the perspective from the memorial yesterday in the Rose Garden. Thank you so much.

Joe Bob

Turning Point Tonight Host
Thank you. Great talking to Monica Page, Turning Points White House Correspondent. Remember, you can email the show anytime you want. Tptpusa.com what are your thoughts about the new rules for covering the Pentagon, which famously has way too many leaks for again, the hotbed of intelligence globally not even mentioned, the United States of America. Obviously you don't want our secrets being out there, but what do you think of setting up some rules and parameters into what places you can go, into what places you can't and how the media should conduct themselves? Is that a violation of the First Amendment? I'd love your thoughts. TBD Also, subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can get exclusive content that can't air on this show because of time constraints, but will air on our YouTube channel as well as our social media platforms elsewhere. We will be right back after the break. Don't go away. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. The lying liars and the lies that they lie. I realize that's a lot of saying lie, but there's no better way to describe what the media is doing so often. TBT pusa.com is the email. Send us your thoughts, comments, concerns, critics, criticisms. What do you think about the new the. The Pentagon rules? Apparently you can't show up in a banana suit to be heads against office, which is in my opinion, in total infringement of the First Amendment censorship at the highest level, or it's totally reasonable. What do you think? TBT tbusa.com I wanted to address this whole illegal immigrants on Medicaid thing because it continues to be a problem in the federal government shutdown. What is happening in the media is it would be hilarious if it didn't have the actual implications that it does have. This I thought was freaking fascinating. ABC News, who I think their main news guy is George Nuffle uploads whatever his name is, who, remember, ran Bill Clinton's campaign and was the lead Bill Clinton defender. And when any woman decided they were going to accuse Bill Clinton of things that he probably did, it was George Stephanopoulos, his job to ruin that woman's life. So upstanding moral citizen we've got there running over ABC News. But ABC News put out this story in response to the idea that illegals are getting health care. And this is just a Republican and conservative lie. They're not getting health care. Uh, the article was entitled Emergency Medical Medicaid for undocumented immigrants accounts for less than 1% of state spending, a study finds. Emergency spending for illegal immigrants on Medicaid amounted to just about $9 and 63 cents per resident. Emergency Medicaid for undocumented undocumented immigrants, I call them illegals, made up for only 0.4% of total Medicaid spending, a new study finds. I'll get to the kicker in just a very quick second. But we already did this story last week where last year alone, the illegals that were bussed to New York City, which again, was the best political stunt that I've ever seen, like political stunts are usually made to prove a point. This actually proved the point exactly to what the Governor DeSantis and Governor Abbott were trying to do, which was hilarious. But that's a conversation for a different time. We already covered the story that after they did that 25% of emergency room visits were for illegal immigrants. So how does this statistic that only 0.54% of hospital bills or emergency Medicaid was covered for illegal immigrants? Well, that's because buried in the article that ABC News released that tries to skew people to one side or the other, they mentioned, oh, these are numbers from 2022 oh, so like right after President Trump was in office and the border was effectively closed and right before Joe Biden let a million, it's not a million. Several million people into the country. Oh, so that's where those numbers are for. Interesting. Wow, ABC News. I wonder if you meant to do that or you just were trying to lie and omit certain facts in such a way that would lead the viewer to think something that is the opposite of the truth. What's also interesting is further down in this ABC article, they accidentally say the real thing that's going on because, you know, the article is prefaced with, well, this, this is actually isn't a problem. Illegal immigrants on Medicaid isn't an issue that we have to worry about because, look, it's only, it's less than 1% of overall Medicaid emergency spending. But they do note that the authors of all of the, the federal shutdown bills that they're trying to resolve the government and get it back open proposed in the 2025 budget would save little and harm states with large proportions of undocumented immigrants. Okay, wait, so is it, are they not using it or is taking it away going to harm them? Those, those two things don't square in the way that you might think they do because either they're not using it and therefore having it go away. Well, that, that wouldn't really be a problem, or they are using it a lot, which is opposite of what the headline in the story is premised on. And well, taking it away would really, really disproportionately harm illegal immigrants. They go on. Additionally, the cuts would disproportionately harm safety net hospitals and clinicians caring for immigrant communities. So what are we talking about here, ABC News? Like, I just, I'm trying to get through to how this makes sense really in any way, shape or form, like I said, and I don't want to be too repetitive here, are these cuts to illegals getting healthcare, which again, by the way, they're not, they, they aren't doing, according to Senator Schumer and many others on the lib side, are the cuts either going to hurt the illegal immigrant community because they're being taken away, which again, they're not using, or are they not using them and therefore the cuts that are being proposed not really going to have any effect? He can't have it both ways, Libs. And specifically ABC News, which again is run by the guy who ruined women's lives, who accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting them. What you can't have it both ways. The media biased is unbelievable and continues to happen. I know we talked a little bit earlier about the trans issue and the fact that we are winning that in so many ways. But there is so much work still to be done on the mainstream media because they still push out crap like this and expect us to buy it, which of course we don't. I know if you're watching this show, you're probably above average intelligence because that's the type of crowd that generally watches conservative news shows because conservative news shows have a little bit of nuance to them, unlike a bunch of the lib outlets that just say believe what we tell you. Two legs, four legs good. Two legs better. Animal Farm reference in case you're unaware. But that's fascinating. You know, I I don't know if I have time to play these other clips. I probably rambled on a little bit too long. We might get to these tomorrow. But they're a fascinating voting for illegals that is happening probably in Minnesota. We will touch on that tomorrow, I promise you. Because I got to Next segment get to the one person that we should deport in this country. He's dating a pop singer and was spotted off the coast of California on a yacht and why he's in this country I don't know. TBTPUSA.com is the email.

So go to YouTube, TPT, Turningpoint Tonight, YouTube channel, just type in Jobob. Pretty much any social media platform you'll be, you'll be able to find it as long as well as all of the exclusive content. Now, finally, I've been teasing this the entire show. One guy who should be deported from this country. Glenn, if you wouldn't mind rolling those b roll clips up there, you will see. Okay, there it is. There's the guy. Justin Trudeau was spotted in our country on American soil making out with Katy Perry. Now, I don't particularly care about their romance, even though both people got divorced. I guess Katy Perry was never really even married to Orlando Bloom, but has a kid with him and for some reason decided to call it off. I, as a guy who doesn't understand divorce, really or especially doesn't understand it later on in life, think that, well, maybe these people aren't necessarily the most upstanding, moral people in the world and maybe we shouldn't be focusing on them entirely. So that's why instead, with these photos being taken off the coast of California on Katy Perry's bajillion dollar yacht, I have to pose the question, why is this guy allowed in our country? And I'm also only like 90% Siri or 90% kidding here because seriously, if President Trump can do, I don't know, the most hilarious thing, maybe revoking the passport of the former Canadian prime minister, who, by the way, if you're watching in Canada, uh, you understand, but everybody here understands that Justin Trudeau drove that country into the ground. Why are we allowing somebody like that into our country who doesn't share our values and like we mentioned earlier in the visa conversation, doesn't uphold what the American people believe to be the principal core, fundamental priorities of being an American. That is why I am semi seriously calling for the deportation of former Canadian Prime Minister and LGBTQ XYZ advocate, possibly a member of the community as well. I don't entirely know Justin Trudeau to be banished from the United States of America. Send your emails tptp USA.com maybe we'll get a petition going online, get Justin Trudeau out of our country before we accidentally get, you know, Canadian on us and then have to wash all of our clothes or whatever you have to do to get the stench of Canadian out from you as an American. But speaking of an American I want to play this clip because I thought this was great. We all are fans of the View, and by fans of the View, I mean loathe it and hate it and detest it in more ways than one. But Alyssa Farrow, the, the conservative on the View because remember, they always have to have like a token conservative so that all of the cackling hens can just hit her all day with rhetorical jabs. She had mentioned a while ago, I think, judging by the set decoration, that it was around Christmas time, that she was going to do something if one particular thing happened. And I wanted to play that for you folks here so that we can possibly hold her to her word. Watch this clip and we will discuss.

I my point when I say I'm not going to be apocalyptic. It's not changing a tune. It's not making every single thing a five alarm fire. If he does good, if he gets the Israeli hostages out, I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show and say thank you for doing it. Yeah, she'll knock it right off my head.

Turning Point Tonight Host
You all heard that, right? We all are. We're all aware of what, what the promise there was. And again, I don't know if you don't know this, you're following the news, but earlier this week, the President of the United States, who again is demonized on the left for causing a bunch of wars, actually ended another war. I think this is like his eighth war that he's ended. And, well, that, that kind of elicits the promise that was made by that View host. When are we going to see the MAGA hat? Because I, again, I could be misreading the situation, but I think we all heard very, very clearly that she made a promise. And the promise was if President Trump got the hostages released, which he did, she would wear a MAGA hat on the View. And she also mentioned that Whoopi and Sunny might knock it off of her head. I wasn't planning on this, but since we're talking about the wars that President Trump ended, I thought this clip was very cute. Glenn, this is clip 6, if you can cue that up. This is President Trump golfing with his granddaughter Kai and interestingly enough, having a cute conversation, which he talks about all of the wars that he ended. Play cut six.

Joe Bob
How has it been in the White House so far?
- [50:23]
Turning Point Tonight Host
It's been great. Having a good time. We're doing a great job. I stopped seven wars. Yeah, seven. And hopefully we get Putin and Zelinsky to stop killing everybody. But it's been very good. Economy has been great. You know, I recognize that that is not the normal granddaughter, grandfather relationship, but it's, it's, it's fun to see, you know, President Trump bringing in, you know, is his granddaughter who's asking questions and is very excited about what her grandpa is doing in the White House. Like he said, he's ended a bunch of wars. And I think that was prior to ending the war in the Middle East. But touting his, touting his accomplishments just to his granddaughter while playing golf, it's, it's fun to see. But we expect to see that MAGA hat coming soon onto the View. That's going to do it for us here at Turning Point tonight. We appreciate you tuning in. Go follow us on social media. We will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God bless America.
