Joe Bopp
Another very defensible President Trump administration position is seen as racist for some reason somehow by the libs at the Sacramento Bees opinion section. Also, the DOJ says, hey, Ms. Pelosi, the threats that you're making are not gonna fly with us. And also, one of the things that isn't happening according to the libs, well, we don't want that outlawed, but even though it's not happening, so it shouldn't be a problem, but also still don't do it. I know that was confusing, but that's the way the mind of the lib works. All that and more coming up on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bopp. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback through the mockery of terrible lib ideas, among many other things. This is Turning Point tonight. You can email the show anytime you want. Tptpusa.com love seeing each and every one of your emails. As you can see, we're not in the studio today. We are in beautiful downtown San Antonio, Texas, where I'm on tour with Megyn Kelly. Fascinating night last night, listening to Don Jr. Specifically. And also Megan. She was great. But really, I'm not sure what I can talk because I think it's going to be a podcast eventually. So go find that conversation with Don Jr. Sneak peek, which maybe is kind of a promotion for the rest of the tour. We'll be in Dallas tomorrow at the Dickies Arena. But some notes from yesterday. Donald Trump Jr. Endorsed Kamala Harris for the the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. So that was hilarious. And Megyn Kelly said, should I say this? Am I allowed to say this quote is not in context? Let me just, let me give the context that this quote is not in context. But Megyn Kelly almost verb said Hunter Biden is making her curious to try crack cocaine. So no cut there. I'm giving you that quote without context. And the, that is my context. So hilarious jokes. You never know what's going to happen here. Catch us on the road at some point. Would love to see it. And if you see me around any of these tours, come and say hi. I've getting, I've gotten messages like, oh, I saw you walking around here and didn't want to say hi. Say hi. Let's, let's, let's have a, let's shake my hand. I'd love to, love to meet each and every one of you. Anyways, we're in Dallas tomorrow, San Antonio tonight. It has been a blast. But that is why we're not in the studio taking down the libs from the underground dungeon that we usually are. We're in a hotel room. So anyways, all of that to be said, got a lot to get to. Want to talk about this first? You know, if lying is not bad in your mind, well, you would do it a lot. People who don't have any moral compass, any virtues that they stick by, any ethical guidelines that they adhere to, well, they just lie because why would you not just lie about things? Which is exactly what is going on in Canada. The tariff talks have been stopped by President Trump. He said effective immediately, we are going to stop negotiating with Canada on the tariffs side because of a commercial that the premier of Ontario put. Now I'm going to play you the commercial and then give you the context in which they're airing this commercial, what they're trying to do with this commercial and how the commercial is in of itself misleading and not at all what they think, sorry, what they are trying to make it say. But first things first, just watch it. It's about, it's a minute long. They are spending, according to President Trump, $75 million to play this commercial on Newsmax, Bloomberg, Fox News, Fox Sports, NBC, CBS, CNBC, ESPN, ABC and local stations throughout the U.S. according to the CBC. In other words, they're playing this commercial. $75 million commercial. And this is it. And we will discuss the misrepresentation of former President Reagan, who is featured in this video. Check this out.
- [05:13]
Doug Ford
When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing, protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake.
- [06:11]
Joe Bopp
So it's important to keep in mind that is the government that put out, that's not a campaign, that's not some interest group, that's not some lobbyist firm. That is the government of Ontario, Canada. The premier there, what's his name? Doug Ford, unveiled that one minute ad from the government, paid for by the government, which means the taxpayers of Canada. Now, where the problem lies is the entirety of what Reagan said is probably defensible. And if you're coming from the position of tariffs being set at the onset, right. If you think, well, if there is a free market and then you institute tariffs, all of the things that Reagan warned about probably would happen. And that is why in a totally free, totally reciprocal market, there's not a lot of arguments for additional taxes, unless, of course, there's some workers. It's pretty nuanced situation. But what I think we're getting at here is that what Reagan was saying is that if everything is even, maybe try not to pile on different things because that will then force things to become uneven, unfair, not, not a good idea for the businesses, the economy or the consumer as a whole. Having said that, if that were the position that President Trump was in, this video would make sense. However, that's not the position that we're in. Because remember, the whole idea with tariffs with Canada, but also around the world is because they're not reciprocal, it's fair. And the only reason we're instituting them now, or at least President Trump is instituting them now, is saying we're trying to get back to fairness. And then from there we can discuss what it's going to look like going forward. I think President Trump would agree that we don't want this trade war to be long term. That was the premise of Reagan said, oh, these, these don't work long term. Well, yeah, we agreed nobody wants tariffs to be long term. Or at least as I understand it. Now, the most interesting part about this is that they conveniently left out this part of President Reagan's speech, which kind of clarifies what I mean President Trump is doing in order to actually maneuver something in a way that benefits America that is currently unfair. Also, side note, did you notice that in the first video they made it sound really scratchy, like an old timey audio thing. That's pretty clear audio when you watch the entire video, and if you do watch the entire video, you will see this part of that video play cut.
- [08:36]
Doug Ford
Well, I've never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well in certain select cases, like the Japanese semiconductors, we've taken steps to stop unfair practices against American products. But we've still maintained our basic long term commitment to free trade and economic growth.
- [08:58]
Joe Bopp
Hmm.
- [08:59]
Joe Bob
Wow.
- [08:59]
Joe Bopp
I wonder why they would leave that part out of there. Because President Reagan says, oh, yeah, in this particular situation where things are unfair. Yeah. Using leverage in order to get it back to fairness. I feel like there's somebody currently in the White House that's trying to do the same thing with American imports and Expo. Oh, it's exactly what President Trump is trying to do. So Canada. Yeah. Maple syrup guzzling Canadians. Yeah, that's the whole point. To misrepresent what President Reagan said and claim that he's like, well, none of, none of this ever makes sense in any context, in any, in any way is terribly misleading. The Reagan foundation actually came out in a statement and said just as much. Let me pull that up for you right now, Glenn. Yeah, there we go. There it is. I can't read that on my screen, so I'm pulling it up here. The Ronald Reagan Presidential foundation and the Institute learned of the government of Canada, Ontario, Canada created a campaign using selective audio from President Reagan delivering his radio address to the nation. Fee and free and fair trade. That happened April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents President the presidential radio address. And the government of Ontario did not seek or receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Reagan Presidential foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter and then they encourage you to watch the entire video, which of course we did. Which is how we come to the context of. Yeah, generally speaking, in a totally free and a totally flat and a totally fair economy, you can not really a good argument for a ton of terrorists. But that's not what's happening. President Trump has said repeatedly across the globe we are fighting for reciprocal trade tariffs, and if we don't get those, then we're going to use the leverage that we have, which President Reagan also advocated for in the specific scenario of the Japanese semiconductors that he was talking about. That's what it is that we are doing. That is what President Trump is doing. That's at least what he said he's doing, and I have no reason to doubt him doing so. It's also crazy, too, that the libs are lying about lying. Several media outlets, including the Midas Touch, says the Reagan library is lying. They're trying to edit the truth, edit history, rewrite the historical remarks of the president. But no, like, they literally said, go watch the whole video, see for yourself what he said. And then the folks over at Midas didn't do that and just decided to lie about them lying. The like cycle of lying is just, it's so hard. It's actually interesting. Jesse Kelly, who's also at the Megyn Kelly event last night, no relation, by the way. I assumed that they were brother and sister. Turns out that's not the case. They just have the same last name. Anyways, Jesse Kelly said, well, they lie. This lives just lie. I know, I've said that too. But it's, it's better coming out of his mouth because he's a very smart guy. Why would you not lie? And if, if you have no moral virtual compass, then you have no reason to not lie. There's no reason that you wouldn't try to push your own narrative, regardless of how true it is. And in this case, it's none. But, you know, such as par for the course for the libs that continue to push their side of quote unquote reality and don't adhere to the same standards. Oh, that's. Sorry, I lost my train of thought. Jesse said. It's very, very difficult for you and I to put ourselves in that headspace, which is exactly true. It is hard for me to understand the idea of just lying to cover up a lie or lying about something that isn't a lie, calling it a lie because, you know, we have this crazy thing called morals and religion and ethics. But yeah, if you don't have that very, very, it's very difficult for a person like me or you to put our heads there and be able to even envision what that would look like. Anyways, a lot of stuff to get to the Sacramento Bee, put out an opinion piece that called an unbelievably defensible policy from Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, and turned it into an ant seek article. It's, it's, it's actually quite interesting. Nancy Pelosi is rebuked by the doj. Find out what she said and the response from the doj, which I thought was very, very interesting. We're also going to talk to Hannah Faulkner about a bunch of different things. Show favorite good friend of the show. She'll be on in just a quick second right after the break.

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi 9 times out of 10 they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes or just asked why Benghazi.
- [16:01]
Joe Bopp
The truth became a web of lies.
- [16:03]
Leon Neyfakh
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
- [16:07]
Joe Bopp
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
- [16:10]
Leon Neyfakh
Bad faith, political warfare and frankly, bullshit.
- [16:14]
Joe Bob
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together.
- [16:19]
Leon Neyfakh
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
- [16:23]
Joe Bopp
Benghazi is a Rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

Welcome back to Turning Point tonight where together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback, generally through the mockery of terrible lib ideas, but also through the promotion of great ideas that are conservative values based. Email the show tptpusa.com take 2. Email the show anytime you want tptpusa.com we love seeing each and every one of your emails. Also go subscribe to our YouTube channel, Turning Point Tonight on YouTube where you get exclusive content that you can't find on this show because there's too much to talk about. There's too much to talk about. There's too little time. You can only find it on our social media platforms, YouTube, Rumble, all of the above. It is so much fun to talk to Hannah Faulkner, host of the Hannah Faulkner show, and she joins us now to discuss. Well, Hannah, first of all, did you know that you know when you're in Chicago, it's among the safest cities in the world. There's almost zero percent chance of you getting murdered. Of course I kid, but Hannah, thank you for joining us. Welcome to the show.
- [17:52]
Hannah Faulkner
Thank you so much for having me. I definitely know some residents there that would say a lot different than it being safe and totally free to walk around at night. But we'll get into that today, especially.
- [18:03]
Joe Bopp
If you're going to subway at 2am in the icy cold winter. You might be walking around in maga country. But of course a reference that a lot of viewers hopefully will get. Hannah, I wanted to play you this clip because I setting this topic up of Chicago being a totally safe and not murdery city. Brett Baer had the governor of Chicago on JB Pritzker who had just come from a pizza place and was on his way to a pizza place and stopped by Brett Bear's studio. That's mean. I shouldn't, I shouldn't make fun of the man like that, but it's, it's too, the, too low hanging fruit for me. But he had this really interesting exchange which I think you'll enjoy and I'd love to get your comments after this. Watch this.
- [18:47]
Joe Bob
Well, they're doing everything by the book.
- [18:48]
Doug Ford
Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all the big cities?
- [18:53]
Joe Bob
Well, we are not in the top 30 in terms of our murder rate. Our murder rate has been cut in half over the last four years and every year it's gone down by double digits. And if you look at all of the, the violent crime over the last four years map, they've all gone down.
- [19:09]
Doug Ford
US cities 17.47 per 100,000 population. Chicago is number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York and San Diego.
- [19:20]
Joe Bob
What I'm explaining to you now, you're talking about violent crime. Look, you can pull statistics up.
- [19:24]
Doug Ford
These are murders.
- [19:25]
Joe Bob
I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been cut in half. And very importantly. Brett, you got to, to hear this. Very importantly, we've been doing the things that are necessary to bring crime down. Right. We've invested in community violence interruption. We've invested in police.
- [19:43]
Joe Bopp
Wow. I have so much to comment on. But the very end of that, we've invested in police. Hannah, there is a movement. I'm not sure you've heard about it, but it was pretty big. It's called, what was it? Oh, defund the police. A lot of that took place in Chicago and in places like Illinois. But again, you know, they're, they're funding the police there. Hannah, your initial thoughts on the governor there?
- [20:06]
Hannah Faulkner
Yeah, it's, it's sad, but it's, it's laughable. It is. These people deny the truth of what's right in front of them. I mean, he even said, the governor of this state literally said that he can bring up Red Bear, can bring the statistics, he can bring the facts, bring the data. But we just need to listen to this man himself again. As you said, he, you know, just got done eating pizza, is going to go get more. I think that's totally a valid joke. That should be rather. They're a Democrat. We can use it for Chris Christie. We're gonna use it for JB Pritzker anyways. No, it's actually laughable at this point. I mean, you go to these. No Kings protests, you show up. I mean, what is even a debate anymore with these people? They just deny that the sky is blue and the grass is green. It is a total joke what the Democratic Party has become. And we see that right here, clip after clip every single day. More of a joke from the Democratic Party.
- [20:56]
Joe Bopp
Well, it's also fascinating to the way that they try to like, maneuver around statistics. Like, if you're getting punched in the face 30 times a day, which, God help you, that's a lot of times to get punched in the face. And you say, well, let's just say that that gets cut in half. You politicians like Pritzker will go out and say, well, look, we've. We've cut our murder rate in half. Which is like saying, I now only get punched in the face 15 times a day. And while I guess that sounds good to people who aren't necessarily paying attention, you're still getting punch in the face 15 times a day. It doesn't make it good that the number is less. I mean, I guess it's better, but let's not pretend that like, oh, this is all hunky dory now. I'm still getting punched 15 times in the face every single day. But at least it was. It's less than what it was before now. It's still bad. Dude, don't try and obfuscate your statistics to twist your point into something that it's not. Hannah, do you have anything more to say on the Chicago crime rate before we move on to the more murdery topic?
- [21:58]
Hannah Faulkner
Yeah, well, I think this is just. It should just be very clear. I mean, these, these cities that have extremely high murder rates, crime rates as a whole are some of the most strict on gun control. They have taken the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens who want to protect themselves and defend themselves. You know, God forbid they ever find themselves in a situation where their, their life is on the line. Or at the end of the day, what our founding fathers intended the second amendment to be there for is to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government, to defend ourselves from tyrannical dictators like this Governor JB Pritzker. So it's hard. It's laughable. It's a joke. But it is also quite fascinating, as you said, as these Democrats like Jasmine Crockett, J.B. pritzker, I mean, the list is so endless, we can name them all that they try to maneuver and go around the obvious facts of what is right in front of them, yet they continue to ignore them. It's disgusting.
- [22:52]
Joe Bopp
You know, Hannah, I hate to continue on the murder. This is a very murdery segment and I didn't mean it necessarily to be that way. But speaking of murder, a Boulder, Colorado abortion clinic is basically said, yeah, you can, you can murder your baby at any point, at any time you want. Which is fascinating because conservatives, obviously pro lifers, don't want that to happen. And live to say, well, it's not happening. I was like, okay, well, it's not happening. Then why are you mad that we're trying to make it outlawed? Right. There's kind of like a two sides of this where you can't have your cake and eat it too. It doesn't make any sense. If it's not happening, then there should be no problem with us outlawing it. And if it is happening, well, then you can't say it's not happening. Your thoughts on? Well, one, you mentioned some pretty interesting things when we were talking before. This, this abortion clinic in Colorado that offers third, third trimester abortions for any reason, but also the broader pro life movement and what that looks like, especially with kind of the twists and turns that Planned Parenthood is taking.
- [24:00]
Hannah Faulkner
Yeah. Well, I just want to say you mentioned this being, you know, I guess a murderous type segment that we're talking about. And it is unfortunate that we have to talk about these things, but it's endless. I mean, every time you click on the news, it's like something else is happening. A young girl is being murdered by an illegal alien. TR drivers that are driving illegally and are in this country illegally killing innocent civilians. Drivers on the highway. I mean, it is, it's. I mean, now you've got Tulsi Gabbard releasing information about baby trafficking at the southern border because of the previous administration's negligence. It's endless. But talking about this Colorado abortion facility, you know, the left and the abortion. The pro abortionist always said that it's safe, legal and rare. Right. Abortion really is just something that's happening every now and then. It's only for cases of rape, incest and life of the mother.
- [24:49]
Joe Bopp
That's it.
- [24:50]
Hannah Faulkner
That's all that's happening. And of course, now we know that 97, at least 97% of abortions are for the sake of sexual convenience. Less than 3% is for life of the mother, rape and incest. So it's not safe, legal and rare. It's not safe. And of course it's legal in Colorado, but it's not safe and it's not rare because not only is it killing an innocent life. But it also causes insane amount of statistics of depression, of anxiety, of suicidal behavior to rise and these women who are killing the life that was conceived inside of them. But it's not rare, of course, when nearly a million babies are being murdered every single year. And now up until the third trimester in Boulder, Colorado, and that is the left's goal. They want to murder these babies up until birth. I mean, we saw what the Democrats did a few months back in their congressional session where every single Democrat voted to leave babies on the table if they survive an attempted abortion, to leave them to suffocate and die. It's disgusting, but it's no coincidence. This is the party of death, as we've been talking about, but talking about the broader point of the pro life movement. A lot of pro lifers are celebrating that huge and massive Planned Parenthood clinics across the country are shutting down. They're celebrating, they're posting it all over their social media that this is a huge win for the pro life movement. But I just wanna suggest this because that's not exactly what the Planned Parenthood directors themselves are saying at these abortion facilities. They're not sad that they're shutting down. They're actually happy because they're shifting, they're shifting their mission and their goal from a brick and mortar facility to a mailbox near you where it's discreet. They can send it to a minor, they can send it to anyone and nobody will ever know about it because it's in a chemical abortion pill, which is 60% of abortions right now, to a mailbox near you. So I think that's something that we as pro lifers really need to be honing in on, especially the Trump administration is the chemical abortion pill, since that has become a massive issue with the abortion topic.
- [26:39]
Joe Bopp
Topic. Wow, that is actually, I mean, great insight, but obviously a tragic and horrible situation to begin with. Hannah, I. It's a Friday. What am I doing here? Talking about kind of a downer, downer Friday topics, but at the same time feels very important. Appreciate you bringing that perspective to it. And. Wow.
- [26:58]
Joe Bob
Yeah.
- [26:59]
Joe Bopp
So the, the fight is not over against Planned Parenthood. We'll probably have to dive deeper into that more. But Hannah Faulkner, thank you so much for joining. Really appreciate you taking the time.
- [27:06]
Monica Page
Time.
- [27:07]
Hannah Faulkner
Thanks for having me again.

Joe Bopp
Thank you. Coming up next, a hilarious dumb opinion piece in the Sacramento Bee which turned a very reasonable and defensible position taken by the Trump administration into racism, because everything is racism. Tptpsa.com is the email address if you happen to be in the Dallas area, I will be with Megyn Kelly tomorrow night at the Dickies arena in Fort Worth. Would love to see you there. If you see me, come and say hi. Also, subscribe to our YouTube channel Turning Point tonight on YouTube. We will be right back after the break. Don't go away. Welcome back to Turning Point. Tonight we're together. We are continuing to chart the course of America's cultural comeback. You can email the show anytime you want. Tptpusa.com also go subscribe to our YouTube channel Turning Point tonight on YouTube, where there's exclusive content you'll never see anywhere else. Unless we run out of things to say here, which is generally never the case because that's why we added another segment that you can only see on the Internet. So that's why you should go to our YouTube, subscribe to the Turning Point Tonight YouTube channel and email us anytime you want. Tptpusa.com There are so many interesting stories and more particularly they're more interesting opinions on how people view the world that I just tend to go and I'm sure you do as well. How did you come to that conclusion from this? This is one of those instances in the Sacramento Bee there was an opinion piece entitled the Trump administration just upended the livelihoods of Sikh truckers. Sikhs is a certain religion that happens to be truck drivers a lot and well, you know what a Sikh is or looks like. There you go. There's a couple examples of some Sikhs which again the look the ever it doesn't mean anything to me, doesn't mean anything to anyone. But for some reason this opinion piece decided to segment them off based on a decision made by the administration which is unimaginably defensible. The article starts off like this. The U.S. transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, recently announced sweeping changes to significantly restrict the insure the issuances of commercial driver's licenses to immigrant workers with temporary work authorization, which is a flowery and nice way of putting not Americans. Again, I it's weird that this is hills that people decide to die on rhetorically speaking and in their arguments and because they again, they want to say this, the rule changes, the federal minimum eligibility requirements, immigrants and again they use the word immigrants. I use the term illegal or at the very least asylum seekers. But they say these are just immigrants. Asylum seekers, let's see, for example, can no longer receive a commercial driver's license with a work permit alone. To which I think me and everyone watching this show probably said, hold on, they could receive a driver's license, a commercial. So you're telling me that before now, people who were here, asylum seekers, but also illegally. Because remember, people cross the border and then once they get caught, they go, I'm here for asylum. So that's a whole different thing that we don't necessarily need to talk about right now. But just know that in a lot of cases, we're talking about illegals, even if they're quote, unquote seeking asylum. But apparently up until now, people who were here, not in the country for a long term, not necessarily granted any sort of asylum, yet they've got pending cases. They were given licenses to drive big rig trucks. What kind of an insane place would do that? I mean, California, but that's just California, which is where this article is coming from. But you know, again, what kind of sane group of people allows somebody who is not supposed to be here or at the very least is pending a trial and whether or not they should be here? Because remember, a lot of asylum claims are not exactly as asylum y as one would think. If you just listen to the mainstream media and those people were allowed to drive trucks in our country, that that's crazy. This seems like a thoroughly reasonable thing for the administration to go, okay, hold on. You gotta be an American or at the very least hear illegally guaranteed by the courts in order to drive these big trucks. But that being said, this particular author decided to take it racial for some reason. Duffy's comments took particular aim at Californ. I wonder why that is. Is it because, oh, because California gives licenses to freaking illegals whose policies have been under strict scrutiny. This is continuing in the article after a California trucker was involved in an accident in Florida, killing three. Oh, is that. You're right. There's no reason for them to be under scrutiny. You know, it's just, you know, kind of, you know, vehicular manslaughter in Florida and then also one that just happened earlier this week, but it's just been under scrutiny. I don't know. I don't know why they're under scrutiny. Says this very, very dumb author of this article. The driver was a Sikh whose religious attire, such as a turban, drew comments from around the country. They say bigoted and racist comments. But remember a guy who writes an article like this, anything that says, hey, this guy's here illegally, which he was. Now we've have two illegals who have committed terrible acts that have killed people and are being, you know, looked at accordingly. Because if anybody says anything along the Lines of, hey, maybe he shouldn't have been in the country that's deemed as racist and bigoted by these types of people very, very frequently. He then goes on to make the case. Well, there is an estimated 150,000 Sikhs working in the trucking industry. To which I would say, and everyone would say, nobody cares if they're here legally or if they're citizens. If they are either one of those things, I do not care what they are. I do not care what they look like. I don't care particularly what religion they practice, what they wear on their head, what their facial hair looks like. I do not care. Are they here legally? That is the only question that I have. So to group in all of the whatever, 50,000, I don't know how many people are here either illegally or not. The only thing that matters is, are you here legally? Are you supposed to be in this country? And if you're not not, why in God's name would we give you permissions, elevated permissions, like a cdl, to drive a truck that is effectively a weapon? Again, I. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe there's like some bigger stretch of dial or dialogue that I've just confused on, but I feel like. I don't think so. I feel like the case is that the whole point is that if you're here legally, sure, do whatever you want. Do not whatever you want. Obviously, we have rules and laws, but get your driver's license, Go make a living for yourself. Live out the American dream. But the libs that continue to conflate the idea between legal immigration and illegal immigration are the problem with this country. And of course, this is coming out of California, where the immigration being enforced is not well accepted by pretty much anyone, including. Including Nancy Pelosi and several of her colleagues. This was really interesting. So there's been some pushback between some pushback. There's been a lot of big rhetorical firestorms being thrown around in the country's poopiest state, that is California, primarily poopy, because of San Francisco specifically. But this is really interesting. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, who I'm sure just hearing her name is making people, like, cringe a little bit, grind their teeth, which don't, by the way, your dentist will not appreciate that. Nancy Pelosi issued a statement with her fellow lib, Representative Kevin Mullen, and said this. Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law. And if they are convicted, the president cannot pardon them. What she's talking about is the ridiculous California rule, which, by the way, is going to get just crushed in the courts. When Gavin Newsom signed and said, well, you know, ICE agents, because they're being doxxed, can't wear masks. Now you have a congresswoman, and a very powerful congresswoman at that, saying, okay, well, our state's just going to go ahead and arrest them, literally in a statement saying that the two Congress people wrote they may be arresting federal agents if they break California law. Well, one, California law is not constitutional. Get thrown out in the courts, and that'll be that. Two, good luck with that. Fortunately, Federal Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said, hey, don't do that. Which is my favorite thing from the Trump administration. Basically just, I mean, it's obviously much more eloquently put, much more lawyerly, but issued a statement in a letter to the crazies in California saying, add on, don't try to arrest federal agents. Because I don't know if people know this. The federal government supersedes any state laws, especially ones that are gonna get thrown out by the courts anyways. And it's fascinating to see this because I think in prior administrations, prior conservative administrations, when libs did crazy things, they just kind of like, ah, you know, just. That's just them doing their thing and, and, you know, it's fine and we're not going to do anything about it. The rebuke that has been issued by the DOJ and the Trump administration saying, no, you can't arrest federal agents, and if you do, you will be sorry. Is. It's nice to see. It's nice to see somebody actually standing up for the law because that's, again, what the ICE agents are doing. They're enforcing the law. So arresting someone for enforcing the law. Okay, remember, this is all based on this whole mask thing where California thinks that if an ICE agent is making an arrest, they can't help them make that arrest because of sanctuary policies. But if the ICE agent is wearing a mask, they can instead arrest the ICE agent. But not if the ICE agent has Covid. Because you can wear a mask if you have Covid, but not if you're trying to protect yourself and your families from being doxed or by the crazy lips. Okay. All of that being said, Ms. Pelosi said, yeah, we might. We might actually be arresting federal agents if they are breaking California law. To which the DOJ said, pound sand. Effectively, Again, nicer terms. But such is the case for the Trump administration and the doj. Fascinating. Very exciting that that's happening. And we will look forward to seeing, well, if they decide to call the bluff of the administration, a lot of me doesn't want to see that happen, but a small part of me wants to be entertained just a little bit. We got so much more to get to. We're checking with Turning Points White House correspondent Monica Page after the break, among many other things. 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. TPTPUSA.com is the email. Go subscribe to our YouTube channel, Turning Point. Tonight on YouTube where there's extra segments not today, but generally speaking, there are extra segments that we just can't squeeze into the show because it's too short of a time span to get in all the things we want to talk about because I don't know if, you know, there's a lot to talk about all the time. And speaking of talking about things, let's bring in Turning Point's White House correspondent Monica Page over there again. Monica, what is that behind you?
- [39:11]
Monica Page
Believe it or not, this is the White House. It's still standing.
- [39:15]
Joe Bopp
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I've been told. I've been told there is no White House. It is gone forever. It has been demolished. This is, this is fake news. I believe Monica Page is pushing fake news propaganda on us, claiming that the White House is still standing. I watched MSNBC because I like to punish myself for my sister, and they told me the White House is gone. So.
- [39:38]
Monica Page
Well, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe the, the mainstream media has been lying to you, msdnc. They, for some reason, they have such an emotional attachment to that East Wing. And a lot of these people have such an emotional attachment to. I didn't realize how many people were just so in love with that East Wing. I don't even know what even happens in the East Wing most of the time. A bunch of offices. I know the first lady conducts work out of there, but it's still standing. It looks even more beautiful than ever with the beautiful fall weather coming in.
- [40:06]
Joe Bopp
Yeah, it's, I can't believe that story is still going on. Like, it's, it's blowing my. I thought this was gonna be like a flash in the pan type of thing. But, like, I just, I just, here's what I would like to say. Hey, libs, if you're gonna complain about it this much, the next time there's a lib president, you guys don't get to use the ballroom because that's, that's, let's just, let's just, how about we, we resolve to have that be the case because if you're complaining it this much, then maybe you don't want it to begin with. So anyways, sorry to the actual news of the day. President Trump is leaving for Asia tonight. Can you talk about where he's going, what he's talking about? Will he demolish their dignitary residential areas as well?
- [40:44]
Monica Page
That's such a funny question, Joe. Bob well, let me tell you, he plans on talking about a lot, whether it's destructing, you know, what's, whatever, wherever they'll be meeting in Asia, I don't know. But he's going to be causing quite, quite a stir in Asia because a lot of the news, a lot of the conversations that he's going to be talking about in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea all have to do with trade tariffs and the fentanyl crisis as well. So I'm sure he's going to be working on trying to topple that. It's going to be a very long week for the president. He's leaving tonight around 10:40pm Eastern Time. So it's going to be a long trip. He doesn't really have anything on his schedule today. We're kind of anticipating a, an executive order signing at some point today, but I think they took that off his schedule. So we're still kind of waiting to see if something opens up to the press. But I will tell you this, that Marine outside the Oval Office here in the West Wing has not left his post. So the president's in the Oval Office. He's been there all afternoon. So he's cooking up something, whether he's having phone calls, having meetings. He's still very much working and being active today, but his first stop will be Malaysia and then his second stop Japan, and then he'll be meeting in South, South Korea. And while he's in South Korea, I believe he'll be holding sideline conversations with China's President Xi Jinping. So the last time he was actually in South Korea, I believe it was 2019, where he crossed that DMZ border and shook hands with Kim Jong Un in North Korea. So I was kind of anticipating another photo friendly moment between the two, but I don't think that's going to happen this time around. I think he's really focused on China's relationship with Russia, especially as this war continues on with Ukraine and of course trade, tariff, fentanyl you know, some of your big hot button issues with Asia.
- [42:26]
Joe Bopp
Monica, I, this is, it's a Friday, so we're gonna just talk about this because I think it's fun. So last night in Houston, the Houston area, I've been corrected. We were actually in Sugarland, Texas, Megan Kelly's guest. One of her guests was Donald Trump Jr. Who is fascinating and super fun to listen to. But you're mentioning the Marine is still outside the Oval Office means President Trump is still working despite having a late night flight. Despite having. He's still there, he's still working. Don Jr. Told a story about an Election Day 2024 in which Trump did just countless amounts of rallies. And then Don Jr. Was doing the rallies with him. They get back to wherever they were going, New York, dc, whatever they were at. And he says, all I wanted to do was go to bed. But he turned on the TV right before he was about to go to bed, about 6am and the president is doing interviews on Fox News. And he's like, I can't have this guy outwork me. And ultimately he said that the election night, when President Trump won again in 2024, Don Jr. Was like, I was so tired, I couldn't even enjoy it.
- [43:35]
Monica Page
Yeah, I mean, that's what it is. That's absolutely what it's like. I mean, I only got to travel on Air Force One once, but I can tell you that those who regularly do, it's like that. I mean, the man just doesn't sleep. Maybe he gets four hours max when he does get some rest. But he's always working, he's always talking to people. I don't know how he does it there.
- [43:58]
Joe Bopp
Well, and he mentioned too, and I'm curious to see her, your thoughts on those people in the back of the plane during the press side? They can't go to sleep either because at any point at 2 or 3 in the morning, he can come back and just do a gaggle. And you don't want to be the press person in the back of the plane that fell asleep with the president is giving some breaking news.
- [44:17]
Monica Page
We'll tell you that's absolutely true because when we were coming back from Arizona for Charlie's memorial service, he came back almost immediately, which I was very grateful for on that way home because we were all really tired. It was just a really long travel day. And he came back before we ate dinner. So that was also very helpful because on the way to Arizona, we were kind of like all eating breakfast, lunch, and then all of a Sudden people were like he's going to come back and gaggle. And then here comes the waiter on, on Air Force One taking all of our trays up. Everyone's scrambling. Here comes the cameraman. Here comes people with the microphones. People were out of control. Like we gotta move like people it was just there was no room for anybody to move because when the president comes back, we all got to stand up and crowd around the door while he's standing in that doorway. And when the trees are out and you know, everyone's just kind of relaxing, that doesn't help the situation. So you gotta move fast and you gotta stay away. So that's very accurate.
- [45:14]
Joe Bopp
That's so funny. I would imagine it's a very jolting experience from the folks who are covering the Biden administration to now. It's like we slept the whole time on the Biden administration and now all of a sudden we are at the ready all hours of 24, 77 days a week, 365 days of the year. Anyways, Monica, thank you so much for enduring that conversation. I think it's really interesting that you mentioned just he's just always doing something which is fascinating and incredible. Monica Pace, Turningpoints White House correspondent, thanks so much for taking the time.
- [45:43]
Monica Page
Thanks Joe.
- [45:44]
Joe Bopp
Bob, thank you. Always fun to have a not planned conversation with Turningpoints White House correspondent Monica Page. We're actually going to take a break here because there's some fun videos that I want to make sure we have time for. TPTPUSA.com would love to see your emails. Also go subscribe to our YouTube channel and if you're in the Dallas area tomorrow night I will be with Megyn Kelly at the Dickey's arena in Fort Worth. Come check it out. The tour has been fantastic so far. We will be right back after the break to get to several videos that are going to make you hopefully not scream. Laughing. Let me, let me say it is that we'll be right back after the break. Don't go away. Welcome back to Turning Point. Tonight we're together we are charting the course of America's cultural comeback through the mockery of terrible lib ideas we which are on full display here in this MSB MSNBC clip that we're about to play you tptpsa.com is the email. Go subscribe to our YouTube channel Turning Point tonight on YouTube Rumble all of the all of the channels go subscribe to it. Never before and seeing clips will be aired there. This I just I this I just can't I can't. I just can't. Watch this clip. We cut it down. There's a longer, the longer clip is floating around the Internet. Internet. But we cut this one down because it, this is all you need to see. Watch this. It really is incredible. And you have Abigail Spanberg or Mikey Sheryl, her background, all the different jobs that she has held.
- [47:15]
Joe Bob
But of course that does fall into the same misogynistic trap.
- [47:18]
Joe Bopp
Other countries have no problem electing women. Abigail Spanberg is facing horrible sexism that exists within the electorate populace of the United States of America. She is running for governor of Virginia and she is facing UN amounts, unbelievable amounts of misogyny and anti womanness. Now she's running against a woman. So that's kind of difficult to make the case about Winsome Sears, who by the way is a black woman. Doesn't matter to me. I agree with her ideas a little bit more, but I just, I don't know if they don't know or if they are so deluded that they assume. Well, I guess that would fall into the category of them not knowing. Hilarious. We can't. Other countries have no problem electing women. Well, yeah, they still, they're going to an elect to elect a woman regardless. You just don't want it to be our woman because then you can't say it's sexism. Hilarious, Hilarious. Hilarious. Hilarity knows no bounds with the good folks over at MSNBC or PMS now or whatever their show is called after, after the crossover of the branding takes place. I also thought this was funny and I'll be honest with you, I'm not even sure how accurate this is, but it's the last hour, the last segment of the last show of the week before we head into the weekend. So I just thought this was funny. This seems to be Rachel Maddow crying and there's some suggestion to what she's crying over, but it's her crying and well, enjoy Rachel Maddow crying with me to at least three. We put up the graphic of this.
- [49:20]
iHeart Radio Announcer
Thank you.
- [49:21]
Joe Bopp
Do we have it? I think I'm gonna have to hand this off. Yeah. Okay, so the chiron on there says that. But again, I, I'm skeptical of everything nowadays, as you should be too. But that was Rachel Maddow finding out that one of the donors to the donor funded, not taxpayer funded, ballroom that President Trump is building, which libs aren't going to be able to use by the way, because they're throwing so much of a fit about this. That's her Finding out that Comcast, her employer, is one of the donors that is paying for that. And she broke down crying in tears. Now, one of two things is happening. One, she's acting, and those are fake and she doesn't actually care, but she's trying to pander to the audience that may actually cry and therefore is acting to be as upset. I just, I can't even continue segment anymore. I gotta pass it off with somebody else. So that's either an act or she's a crazy person. Because what adult human would cry at the fact that there's renovations going on and that your boss gave a little money to the renovations? I, I mean, I, I, I don't know. Like, if Turning Point decided that they were going to, you know, build a park in a small town, but, you know, my ex girlfriend lived in that small town. I wouldn't cry over it. I don't know if that's a great equivalent. I also don't have any ex girlfriends, so. But you get what I'm saying here. This is, this is either, this is either a master class in acting or a lunatic guy. There's really no other option there, but that is that, you know, we got some time to squeak in some Glenn videos. And this is producer Glenn. This is his choice of videos sometimes can be very spicy. And the only goal that I have in this particular section of the show or the segment is to not get fired. So Glenn, as always, do your worst. Let's watch them in real time together. I've never seen any of these. He says, no peeking in the folders that these videos go into. So I don't. Because I'm an honest person, because we conservatives believe in honesty. Go and play whichever cut you feel is appropriate or interesting or funny that fits the end of the show on a Friday.

Monica Page
What years were World War I?
- [51:49]
Hannah Faulkner
1918 to 1940. I don't know. Probably like the 1600s.
- [51:55]
Monica Page
Pearl, come on.
- [51:56]
Joe Bopp
You're so close.
- [51:57]
Monica Page
So close. Oh, like the 1700s.
- [52:00]
Hannah Faulkner
No, I'm native American, so, like, my people got colonized, so I got colonized. So I'm just trying to think, like, wasn't World War II near, like, when Christopher Columbus was colonizing?
- [52:10]
Monica Page
No, World War I.
- [52:11]
Hannah Faulkner
And I don't really care about the war.
- [52:13]
Doug Ford
I'm not gonna lie.
- [52:13]
Hannah Faulkner
It's kind of overrated.
- [52:15]
Monica Page
Overrated.
- [52:16]
WashablesOfAs Announcer
So many lives were last.
- [52:18]
Hannah Faulkner
Final answer is 1600s.
- [52:22]
Monica Page
What about World War II?
- [52:26]
Joe Bob
Pass.
- [52:28]
WashablesOfAs Announcer
You got.
- [52:28]
Hannah Faulkner
Well, it's never been saying the 1940s may just be like, 1960s.
- [52:32]
Doug Ford
Wow.
- [52:32]
Joe Bopp
Good job, guys. Glenn you're fired. Like, as if I would wasn't cynical enough enough.
- [52:46]
Joe Bob
These.
- [52:48]
Joe Bopp
They can vote, and their vote counts the same as my vote. When Was World War I, World War II? I don't know. The 1600s, when Christopher Columbus came over and colonized the Indian. What? The what? What? What? Also, Christopher Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue in 1990 or 1492. We all.
- [53:09]
Monica Page
This is.
- [53:11]
Joe Bopp
We're not even in the same century. Glenn, you rehired. I feel like I overreacted there. I think. I just. I just. I'm gonna. I'm gonna get Rachel Madawi here. I'm. I'm sad for this country that those people are the way they are. And that's a great way to end a Friday, I guess. Wow, wow, wow. Just wow. That's gonna do it for us here at Turning Point tonight. Really appreciate you sticking around, tuning in each and every night here on Real America's Voice. Subscribe to our YouTube channel. Tptvsa.com is the email. If you would like to email us.
