The Bill Martinez Show 02 13 26

0:00 Are you ready, Yeah, Okay, let's do it. Bill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Hey, good morning America. Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here. Just about six minutes after the top of the hour, we got to Rover Norquiz, the President for Americans for Tax Reform. A mister Rover, how. Are we doing doing well? Good to be with you. Hey, Once again, Congress is playing chicken with the American taxpayer in the backseat of the car. What's wrong with this picture? Well, the Democrats in Congress are very close in the House in the Senate, but close only counts and horseshoes and handredes. So they get very frustrated, as Republicans just do when they would be in the minority. And you only have leverage a few times, and one of them is when you do the budget, and you can stall and refuse to do the budget, and that gives the Republicans some leverage in the past. Right now, it's a tool the Democrats use now, mind you, the establishment press.

1:12 If the Republicans would shut the government down by not voting the way the Democrats wanted, they would be the ones who shut it down. Not even when Clinton was president didn't do a budget. The first year the Republicans took over the House and Senate, the Republicans did a budget in the House. In the Senate, they worked it out. They were Democrats in the committees that worked on it. They brought it, sent it to the president. He vetoed the whole thing okay, and ABC, CBS and NBC announced Republicans shut down government. Republicans wrote a budget, Republicans. That Democrats.

1:53 Participation in it, the President vetas vetos it, and Republicans shut down government. So then later. Do they just have a fixed template every time the government shuts down. They just go to the drawer and pull it out. And that way they don't even have to do any kind of creative writing whatsoever. Is that the deal? And when the Republican's president, if he doesn't go along with the Democratic budget, then the Republicans shut down of course government. Uh So, Republicans are understandably a little bit shy about using that power because when you do, you get attacked for shutting the government down because you didn't agree with the Democrats. The Democrats have shut the government down and they did worry about getting blamed for it, which is why if you remember the last time we did this a year ago, the Democratic leader in the Senate said in the spring, do not shut the government down.

2:51 We will get blamed because it would be us doing it, and there stuff out loud, and he said it in memos, and then they didn't, and then they got to the full All of the Democrats are tearing their hair out, demanding that they do something stupid and futile, like from animal house. And instead of fighting them, the Democratic leader jumped out in front and I'm leading this parade. We must shut the government down because this and it went on and I don't. Know that it really helped them very much. The Democrats, they didn't get as much blame as Republicans would have, but took they took some hits there. And comparison, as you say. Though, yeah, and their team, the more radical guys in the Democratic Party just wanted to do something because they were so frustrated. They feel the same way about the immigration issue. They feel the same way about closing the government.

3:48 But they but their complaints and what they're willing to shut down is like limited now to the Department of Homeland Security, which is not quite the leverage that they had when if you're shutting the military down or other things. So they're not shutting the government down, they're shutting the Department of Homeland Security, and maybe even in some cases only ice inside that they may be willing to do some of the other budgets. So they're trying to make the political statement, we can have that debate, we will, it'll move on. This is not going to upset the government on a regular basis. Is this? I mean, it just seems to me that this echoes of defund police all over again, which was not a winning calculus for them. They got hammered for that. And this is what happens every time. In fact, I was talking with another law enforcement officer this week, and every time we abandon law in order, we get disorder. Now, can you connect the dots or do we just have to keep on, you know, taking on the law gravity here.

4:55 Well, it is interesting because you had several things National Guard going into help in DC on crime, and the Washington Post not the editorial page, which is now fairly conservative at least free market on economics because Bezos runs it, and basis isn't a Bolshevik. He's also not. Willing to subsidize it forever, which is why he laid off a whole bunch of people. Interestingly on that, I just heard this the other day. There were nineteen writers covering climate change, nineteen full time people who had to come up every week with some story, which is why you keep hearing some story about some weird study or professor in some odd country comes up with some new theory about it, and so that's an article, or my goodness, how this is going to affect grasshoppers, on and on and on, because so they were just forced to write about this because those are nineteen people who didn't know how to do anything else. They would take press releases from every left wing group and stick the men those with the news articles. Fourteen of those people have to go get new jobs down So how do.

6:09 They, yeah, and how do they feel now that Trump is I mean, all this is exposed. I mean even climate change has become a ninety ten or an eighty twenty issue that the Democrats still want to hold on to that fraction of an issue, you know, because they hate Trump so much and they're so ideologically fixed that they cannot you know, measure the room, so to speak. But how do they feel now? I mean, these people that have dedicated how many years of their lives focusing on climate change and they realize, oh my god, I am a hookster. Well, and now you have the decision the Executive Order regulation that undoes a lot of the regulations that Biden and Obaba and others. And what they do is have these wrap around found one regulation sites another one, and they wrapped themselves around and evidently taking it apart is like undoing the Gordian knot. You need to do this and then this, and then this and then this and then this in order to open but they in a year somehow they couldn't get done the first time. Now they have a little more control I think over the EPA and very serious leadership at the Environmental Protection Agency not to do crazy things. And so they've they basically unraveled it all. And because they said X, that's why we all had to have cars that were made out of plastic instead of metal and the car would stop

7:43 when whenever you stop, the car would turn off, and all of the other annoying things that they put into our cars because global warming but those were those rules were only allowed because of some earlier decisions in somebody else's hands. They had to bring them all together and undo them together. There's three years now where American businesses and consumers will look around and go, we don't have to do stupid because the government said so anymore. Perhaps we could make you know, trucks and buses and cars that people want, and electrical you know, accessories such as doing your laundry not having it take two hours to get done because somebody had a rule. So this could I mean with three years before the other team could get in and do anything to stop it.

8:40 We're in a really good position. To reorient things to what Americans want, to what consumers want, not to what some bunch of self appointed nannies. And what do you think? What do you think the effect will be on the GDP and our and our budget because we've wasted trillions of dollars over the decades. Got to go to a quick break. We got more from Grover Norquest.

He's the president of Americans for Tax Reform, America's pre eminent center right expert on taxes.

13:47 As we were saying before the break, Grover, I mean, you think about all the wasted money. You and I've had this discussion before, is how do you get to the point of being thirty nine trillion dollars in debt? And we see how this money, you know, goes into the coffers of elected officials, you know, and some of this stuff we're just you know, you talk about a Gardian nut. I mean when you talk about the rewards and benefits of elected officials like elon Omar, who makes one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year and she's leveraged that and a couple of years to thirty million, how do you know, come on, give me a break, right. Well, we should ask her for advice on how to invest in government contracts, perhaps, but the savings from deregulation on that just came out, undoing some of the nonsense from global warming hysteria. One estimate is more than a trillion dollars in lower consumer costs. You want affordability, that's a trillion dollars of unnecessary, make believe benefits and very real costs imposed on the American people by a bunch of regulators, not congressmen at centers that you can vote out of office, not presidents that you can vote out of office, by jerk bureaucrats who have no business and no legitimate power to be able to do this. And that is very important. And that's just one industry. We also have to look at energy production, at electricity lots

15:19 and lots of opportunities to have less regulations, deadwaight. Cost to government is every dollar they spend because that's not available to be used in the private sector, plus the regulatory costs. So I always keep an eye total spending. Don't focus so much on the deficit. The deficit just tells you they spend so much. They're scared to take it all intax because they think they'd lose the election, so they don't take it all. They borrow some of it, but they steal as much as they can. It's total spending that damages the economy. Whether you borrow it or take it in taxes, it's gone, and then the regulatory costs add those. That's the cost of government.

16:00 Keep regulation cost down, keep total spending down. Yes, you're gonna have less deficit if you spend less, But focus on the spending. Yeah, I mean you're talking the cost of running this government, the regulation nation. What are we talking about in terms of the budget. What does that represent? How much percent do you think? Well, a couple of trillion dollars a year is the regulatory cost. And that's a. Couple of trillion dollars a year on a government what our government right now? Okay, so when they tell us that we're spending about six trillion dollars a year on our government, you have to add another two to cover the regulatory cost. Yes, it's it's extremely damaging. We need to undo it. And and that's a reasonable estimate. But it doesn't get into the costs of things we don't invent, improvements we don't make because people are spending so much money. The smartest guys and certain businesses are spending all their time following regulations instead of looking for new ideas.

17:01 So I guess the bottom line of them. You sit there and you think about this, So regulation nation, are they adding or taking away? Are they adding value? You know? Are they just like the PBMs? Of the pharmacy business. They're just a middleman just collecting money. Well, you may be able to argue, oh, there's this benefit here, but that's maybe a benefit according to some bureaucrap. They think it's a good benefit. It isn't something the American people voted and said I want this, and it's not clear that the regulation gets you this either. Right, So the costs are very real. The benefits are sometimes things left wingers want as opposed to things Americans want. And the cost is also understated because we don't know how much damage is done when you take and you tele company spend a million dollars filling out forms for the EPA, What might that million dollars have done to make life better for Americans?

18:03 Right exactly? You know you said something earlier, and I want to come back to this because this is key in today's vernacular, affordability, and you're you know, you're saying something that I haven't heard anybody say yet, which is so critical, and that is tell me what affordability is. Define affordability, and then when we know what affordability represents, then we can address and you know, present proposals that will do something and move the needle as opposed to these regulatory parts of the bureaucracy that are nebulous. And you sit there and say, well, I spend all this money, but I'm not sure if it's doing any good. Yeah. Well, there are also two parts to affordability. Every tax is a pay cut. Every tax makes your life more unaffordable, not just a particular product. Everything in your life becomes less affordable if your income is reduced by taxes and so, and every tax cut is a pay increase. Every time you reduce taxes, the world becomes more affordable to you.

19:13 You have an extra thousand dollars, you know, because of tax reform, tax reduction. Okay, whatever it is you want to buy, you get one thousand dollars more before you could. You can pay for more things with the thousand dollars that you didn't have before. Then there are also regulations which make when you buy something, it becomes less affordable because it's more expensive. And then the taxes on the product make it less affordable. Uh So, affordability is price, it's and we're living with twenty percent of everything you buy is little bien poking. Your tet up. Aha, this got twenty percent more because I did that. Ah, and that doesn't go away, right. No, Trump can't make it away. You and I can't make it go right.

20:01 It's there that twenty percent is lost to America. That they printed money, They cheated us, they stole us our value, They made everything in our life less affordable. And now inflation's down, which means it's not going up as rapidly. But we never get that twenty percent back. That is permanent damage by Biden. And so when people say things are unaffordable, things are too expensive, they're right. Over the last six years, things have gotten very expensive during the Biden years, less much less so during the Trump years. But we are paying Biden taxes, Biden inflation whenever we do anything a house, a car, a sandwich. We haven't gotten rid of that, and you can't.

20:51 You can't. The best we can do is grow away from it, get people's wages up so that Biden's twenty percent is less damaging in your life. You know, you say Biden, but it's the Democratic Party. It's the Democrats, right, you know, we blame it on Biden, we blame it on Obama, but it was the Democrats. I mean, it's just like in California, you got the uniparty there. The Democrats have destroyed, you know, California. I was just watching on the football game they had, and because you have to be there to play for two weeks if you're a football player, they take the California demands that divide your salary into twelve and that's per month, and then again in half, so one twenty fourth of your your salary for the year. They want to tax because you're there. Then they want to tax the money you specifically earned there because you were part of the football championship. And it's expensive for some of these guys to have played in California. There is a discussion these things have to be should be done in Florida, Texas, Nevada states without income taxes. It's not just a handful of players, it's the coaches, it's everybody who works.

22:12 Yeah, the employees, the guys that make you know, almost you know, a little bit better than minimum wage. But they're not making you know, they're not getting paid millions of dollars. They're you know, picking up towels and doing you know, cleaning up after the players. Right, yeah, they we can do you know, these championship games in California when they get rid of their income tax. But until then, let's stay in a state with either no income tax or a very low income tax. Cheerful news. Within days, South Carolina is going Senate. It's going to pass what the House has already passed to face the income tax down to zero. Huge, huge wed another state on the way to zero. Very exciting.

22:54 What's what's the count now? At Grover there are eight states at zero. There are five states that have passed laws that will automatically trigger them down to zero as revenue comes in. Take the income tax down step by step. In the next fifteen years faster, if the economy grows faster, the income tax will be at zero and add one South Carolina and perhaps also North Carolina pretty quickly. But they're twelve that are trying to do it. Five have gotten the law passed all the way. The other twelve gotten halfway there. In Arizona, we got halfway there. In Iowa, we are maybe we're getting there in Arkansas. They're just not on an automatic pilot to do it. So I really urge everyone to set up the triggers so there's revenue comes down, so if you have a bad governor, it doesn't get in the way of continuing to take the income tax down.

23:51 Yeah, without a doubt. Grover Norquest, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, America's pream and a center right expert on taxes. Check out the website the website.

Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here along with Droi Murnake, Manhattan based Fox News contributor and contributing editor at The American Spectator, among others outlets, including his new article at the Daily Signal dot com.

26:57 You want to check it out. Fbis Fool County election rate better six years late than never? Well, you wrote out loud what a lot of people have been saying ever since the raid happened. Deroy Yeah, Bill, great to talk to you. You know a lot of people heard, oh my god, the FBI is doing this raid and it's just it's just fascist, and it's just the worst things. It's not the Germany blah blah blah. Yeah. And I did a piece where I id a couple of things. One is the really awful situation there with voter registration. There's a state center that's centered there. A Republican by the name of dolaz Al is his name, and he took a look at some of the registrations in various parts of Fulton County, which is basically Atlanta, Georgia, and what he found there was really astonishing. One is, for example, placed address eight fifty Oak Street. Nineteen people are supposedly registered to vote there. And in the article you'll see some photos. We're adding if the house is broken down, its windows are boarded up, were broken, the door is ajar, and there's like this giant blob of brown and green weeds and ivy crawling over the house.

28:05 It's like just devouring the thing. There's some pictures I found online at reeltor dot com. You can see the inside of the house. The inside of the house completely abandoned, a toilet, broken tile coming off the walls, very very clearly, and obviously nobody lives in this house. His house is totally abandoned. Yet nineteen people are registered to vote here vote there as of. January of this Do you find this house in Minnesota? Well, the problem with this and I don't really They mentioned it briefly at the end of this article. This is not just Atlanta. Before the twenty twenty four election, I took a look at a number of places. Nevada was one. I believe Wisconsin's another where you found people registered to vote in let's see abandoned yoga studio near Las Vegas. People are rester vote casinos. People are registered to vote at an empty lot in Las Vegas, an emptied lot in Reno registered vote I think in Wisconsin at a auto parts company. I mean, you're supposed to register vote at your residence, not at all. Sorts of other unusual places. Back to my article. Address for seven to seven Peach Street to northeast, I believe it is seventy people are registered to vote and at a homeless shelter.

29:18 Now it would be bad enough if these are people are homeless at a shelter, who don't have any real attached to any real property. But instead this is a homeless shelter that closed in twenty seventeen. It's been closed almost for nine years. That is an abandoned building, and not one, two or three, but seven zero seventy people are resured to vote there. And so you have these registrations that exist in these swing states and swing cities where if you have a very tight election and you have these ghost voters who don't really exist, where ballots are being sent around, ballots being collected, handed out to people, and who knows if these folks are voting. Are American citizens, are they foreign citizens? Are they even legal foreign citizens?

29:59 Or the illegal ailllians. We heard just the other day that a legal alien voted in this just broken the news just the other night, and she apparently did vote in the election of twenty twenty four. So this is a real problem. And this ties into the Save America Act, which I guess it may they vote any day now. She basically says, if you're in a federal election, you have to show photo ID to vote, and the Democrats respond as if this is I think Chuck Schumer called it Jim Crow two point zero and the most racist thing ever. And I went through the airport plying to Salt Lake City back just just last week. In fact, I came back on Monday and guess what they asked me for? Vote photo by d And just because I'm black?

30:40 They how dare they do that? Black? You know we're going to go how dare they? And I didn't see anybody, you know saying Jim Crow with the KKK, you know, ready to lynch me if I didn't show a D cart. This is just so sick and so twisted. And just if you want to go in to see Chuck Schumer and talk about you know why Jim Crow two point zero vote idea is a bad thing, They're going to stop it. You know, you've got to show idea to get into the US capital, you've got to get into use it to get into almost any feneral building, et cetera. So this is there's nothing unusual. And the idea that black folks don't have ID is one of the most racist what racism? That is a racist thing to claim that black people are just too too poor, too stupid, or too confused to go out and get to show the voter idea, the idea that we used to get on planes to go to the bank to buy alcohol, whatever it might be.

31:27 And then looking past and have at least that one check, right, but one welcome potential vote from this sum. Well exactly, well, you say, you know, look at Americans on voter idea. According to the LAVES polling, eighty three percent support, only sixteen percent oppose it sixteen percent. That's it, m seventy one percent, Republicans ninety five percent, Latinos eighty six Blacks seventy one percent. The numbers are there. And then let's remind everybody de roi Fulton County, which created all kinds of all kinds of havoc and controversy with Roethinsburg and the governor there when Donald Trump said asked Roethinsberger, hey, can.

32:13 You do me a favor? Can you find you know, eleven twelve thousand votes? Because eleven seven hundred and seventy nine votes is all it took to determine the winner in Georgia. Right, and you got right, and in fact, god right. No. I was going to say, say your article you got three hundred and fifteen thousand ballots from that election that weren't even properly certified that they've now confirmed. Right, Yeah, that's right. In this article, I having the daily signal on the FBI rate in Fulton County. I've got some really jaw dropping numbers that I got from something called the Election Oversight Group LLC. They did a report on the twenty twenty election of Fulton County and it's just shocking, I mean chilling, the figures that got in there. As you say, three hundred and fifteen thousand votes, we're supposed to have gone through signature registration or I should say, a signature check. That didn't happen. Those just flew right through without any bother to make sure that signatures were okay. That numbers actually, I think one hundred and forty eight thousand actually were put through without signature verification.

33:19 Then you had let's see, this is another amazing figure you had early on in the collection of these ballots, one hundred and forty eight thousand changed abstite ballots were counted, but only one hundred and twenty five one hundred twenty six thousand voters we recorded as casting ballots. Therefore, twenty two thousand, five hundred and thirty five more ballots were counted than voters who were given credit for voting. We have a phrase for that in the English language. That's called stuff in the ballot box. Twenty two, five hundred and thirty five votes. Now, if only fifty two percent of those votes were for Joe Biden, that would explain and equal his eleven thousand, seven hundred and sixty nine vote marginal victory. A lot of numbers you just heard there, and the basic point is about twenty two more ballots were counted than a human beings who voted, and that's roughly double Joe Biden's margin of victory. I mean that alone should be reason enough for indictments to fly and for people to be arrested and for people to be prosecuted.

34:14 You don't, You should not have you know where I'm talking about one, two, three, four ballots that are floating around twenty two thousand and change ballots more than were voters equal to double Joe Biden's margin at victory in Georgia. And that's the problem. In Georgia. You had very questionable and similar circumstances in Nevada, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, in the swing states where Donald J. Trump lost in twenty twenty. So I think there's a lot more. There's a lot of smoke. I think there's fire by the smoke. And it's not just in Georgia. It's in the other swing states. And one of the arguments that Democrats make is, oh, well, there's no widespread fraud in America. You do not need widespread fraud within the White House. You basically need you need some fraud in Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, Detroit, Pennsylvan Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta. And if you can have fraud in those places, it doesn't have to be the whole state. It needs to be a few precincts those cities.

35:12 You get enough votes to win those cities. If you win those cities, win those states, You win those states, win the electoral votes, and if you win the electoral votes, who win the White House. You don't have to have fraud in Oregon and then fraud in Idaho, and then fraud in South Carolina and fraud in main You need fraud into about six or seven precincts in six or seven swing cities. You win, you win the swing swing cities. You win the swing states, you win the swing states, you win the White House. So there's no need for widespread fraud. It's it's fraud about win you the White House. Exactly. It's a numbers game. And the thing is is what you're proving here is what you and I have been talking about for years. This is systemic. It's not just you know, happening in Fulton County as you said, you know Nevada, go down through the swing states and everything in Pennsylvania. I mean, all this stuff that we had, you know, the evidence that we saw that the courts didn't want to deal with because you didn't have standing or one thing or another, or they wanted to give cover to the Democratic Party and claim that, oh, we would disenfranchise the electorate if they knew that, you know, the whole twenty twenty election was a hoax, you know, whatever excuse they wanted to use to keep us in the dark, you know, treating us like mushrooms, you know, feeding us manure as they say, right.

40:53 And we're back with you. Bill Martinez here along with the Manhattan Bansed Engineers contributed to Droy Murdoch. Droy, as you were saying before the Oh, but there's. More, right, There is more, you know, Uh, there's a problem we've seen in Fulton County. There's this piece in the Daily Signal points out that I wrote and we do see see elsewhere in the country, which is which is routinely locales where there are more redstired voters, more people registered vote than there are adults over the age of eighteen. So you know, if everybody's register vote should equal one hundred percent, shouldn't equal any more than one hundred and in twenty twenty in Fulton County there were one hundred and thirteen point eight percent of the voters equal one hundred and fourteen percent roughly of the voting age population. So to make up you put in round numbers.

41:39 If you have a million people who adults over eighteen in Fulton County, you got one hundred million, one hundred and fourteen thousand people. That just doesn't make any sense where these extra people come one hundred and forty thousand, one hundred forty thousand people. Where are that extra one hundred and forty thousand people come from? Again, I'm musing round numbers just to prove, just to illustrate the point. In terms of ballots, a number of ballots that were available and around in twenty twenty equal one hundred and twenty six percent of the total number of registered voters. So you have a total number of registered voters and another twenty six percent more ballots than voters just floating around in that environment. What is going on there? Here's another bizarre and very disturbing fact in this story, three seventy six almost three hundred seventy seven thousand ballot images when they when they run the ballots through, they also take digital image of the ballots. Well, three hundred and seventy seven thousand of these ballot images were willfully destroyed in violation of state and federal law. You're going to tell me that that's not fraudulent digital images of these ballots and I'll guess what. They're destroyed, they're gone, they're raised.

42:45 Did anybody end up? Here's honest, No, no, there's no There are no consequences. We, unfortunately society treat ballot fraud and voter fraud largely speaking as kind of like a parking ticket or kind of like, oh gee, what what this is? America's political culture is that keep you know people, Oh look, people are voting from the graveyards isn't that hilarious. No, it's not funny at all. It's not funny. People who do this sort of thing should be in prison for ten or fifteen or twenty years, because you're not just cheating yourself, you're cheating every other voter who shows up, who's legitimate and honest and has a citizenship, et cetera. When you bring in these other votes, you're diluting or destroy basically destroying their ballots. Took their ballots and set them on fire, because you know, your vote one way destroys the person's vote who votes the other way. And a little bit of this here and there, you might say, well, that's administrative error, maybe some sloppiness, but when you see almost three hundred and seventy seven thousand ballot images destroyed, that's not just a little bit inefficiency. That is willful malice is what that is.

43:50 And anybody involved that without. Handcuffson and a jail cell for a long. Time, Well, our ballot is you know, it is a treasured possession. I mean, it is something that's holy to the Democratic Republic, it's foundational. You violate that, you violate the Constitution, and you violate the principles in which we believe in and the rule of law full stop. Yeah, well that's absolutely correct. And the Democrats always like to talk about one man, one vote, count every every vote, et cetera, et cetera. Well, if you really believe it, the one man, one vote is it's a kind of a sacred principle of our political culture. Imagining voters uh in homeless shelters that have been shut down. People quote unuote registered to vote. People are registered to vote, said people quotes. The register vote in this house is just completely falling pieces of nobody inside. Every one of those ballots that gets cast is eliminating the people who voted those ballots there. They're just completely negated. And this isn't cute or funny. Democrats have no interest in this. They don't just seem to have any interest in looking into this, investigating this, correcting this. They just stand in the way and say, oh, it's it's a conspiracy theory, it's a hoax, it's a fraud, it's an hallucination. And you see this over and over in these these swing cities. Primarily people are registered to vote in places where they shouldn't, which are not the residences and then all kinds of monkey

45:20 shines involving the tabulation of ballots. Ballots being counted twice in this report that's in my daily signal piece, and thirty ballots were intentionally scanned, the counted twice. What's that all about? You count them once, they'll count them over and over again. What does it say about these you know, these machines, these voting machines. Deroy doesn't it indict those voting machines and almost tell you, you know, you need to throw them out. Yeah, well, there's a lot of stuff fair questioning about these electronic machines. I think we should be voting on paper ballots. People should get receipts with their paper ballots. And if you have a paper ballot, you've got to figal item there that you can make sure is actually legit.

46:04 We've had people voting on machines. The machines sometimes malfunction, sometimes they you know, the votes are questionable. But at least of the paper ballot, you've got something can hold up and look at. And I think that's important. We need to go and if this SAYAC goes through, I believe we will go to paper ballots and we will be. It's a lot easier to toy around if they digitally with the machine that's just counting you know, bits and bytes and pixels as opposed to actual paper. And so I think we need to vote on actual paper ballots, and we need to have people sign in when they show up to vote. We need to make sure they show voter idea and that these are actual legitimate voters and not either foreign citizens or illegal aliens, or people who've moved moved in at the last second, or actually live elsewhere. And then the registration needs to be cleaned up.

46:50 This is I don't mention this. I mentioned this briefly then in my article, but we need to go through the voter rolls and compare them to the property rolls, the tax rolls, et cetera, and make sure that people are registered voted actual residences where people live, not in businesses, not in abandoned warehouses. In some cases, as I say, in Las Vegas, an empty lot, nothing but gravel, just pure gravel. If people register vote at a gravel lot, what is that? Yeah? I mean, look at this is common sense voting, you know, the Save Act. We've got to bring common sense back to voting. It's that important. And whatever you know, the Republicans can do between now in the midterms, this ought to be the hill they choose to die on. Deroy in my humble opinion, for the sake of the American people, especially with the polling evidence being what it is. When you've got such a super majority of Americans that want free and fair elections and have lost faith in that, you know, the way elections have been developed, where they can you know, stuff the ballot box and you know, and to get away with the shenanigans they've they've gotten away with. And the thing is, the onus is on the states. The states have controlled, they're supposed to do this.

48:01 And even Roethlisberger, I mean remember his claims, Oh, this was there's no doubt this was secure, the most secure election he said ever. Well, the evidence tells him he didn't know what the heck he's talking about. Yeah, this is definitely, in twenty twenty not the most secure election we've ever seen. I think Raethlisberger was threatened by Stacy Abrams, the far left democratic political activist. I think she said, basically, if he didn't do what I wanted to sit down on you and kill you. I think maybe that's what happened to him, and he's completely totally buckled in this race, in the twenty twenty race. And by the way, you mentioned something earlier that Trump said that said of Roethlisberger, you know, please find me twelve thousand votes roughly to win. What Trump actually said was I wish I could find twelve thousand votes. He didn't say go find me. He said yeah, he said more.

48:50 I don't have a quote front of if it said more or less I need twelve thousand votes to win, or I wish I had twelve thousand votes to win, which would mean like me saying, you know, I wish I had a million dollars. Now that does say, hey, Bill, go get me a million dollars. There's a bank, go rob it. This is the claim that left makes. He just said, you know, I need eleven thousand, seven hundred votes roughly to win. But he didn't tell anybody to go get them. So he's almost thinking out loud, saying would it be nice by these votes. He did not instruct Raethlisberger to find them, even though that's what the left is pushed for years. Well, the left in the media try to throw them in jail for that, right. Yeah, the left in the media said that. Yep. Yeah, they have said this over and over, and in fact, the Washington Post of multiple places wasn't it wasn't newsmax or Foxnews dot com. But Washington Post dot com has a transcript of it. You can look up Raethinsburger phone call Trump something like this, and in the transcript you'll see the quote what Trump says, despite everybody thinking that, he said, you better find me these votes or I'll break your break your kneecaps. Right, you said, you know more or less either I want twelve thousand votes or if I had twelve thousand votes, I'd win. He didn't instruct anybody to do anything about it, and yet the left wing media said this over and over and over.

50:02 This is correct. Yeah, even Wikipedia, I mean, you go right on down. I mean, it's all part and parcel. I mean they're all joined at the hip beer and giving us misinformation and leading us to believe this false narrative. I mean, in fact, that's what I remember. And thank you for clearing up that quote, because you know, the truth matters. De Roy. That's what this all comes down to. The Safe Act is because the truth matters in America. Is realizing this because you think about all the rigged elections that have taken place that have been orchestrated by the Party of the Left, the cheating party. How many trillions of dollars have they cost the American people?

50:43 Oh, trillions and trillions and trillions. I mean, I mean the national debt is what is it, thirty one in a trillion? I've lost no, try thirty nine trillion. This is thirty nine at this point. Yeah, up, up and away. Keep track of this. And you know we've seen over and over the fraud, the criminal they involved in this double dealing people, feather bedding we saw in Wisconsin, is completely out of control. Situation with the so called d daycare centers up kids in them, right and so on. It's a really bad thing. You say, we need the truth or we're just not going to get anywhere make any progress in society. Well, yeah, you just think. I mean, I was talking with somebody else just regarding you know, the regulations and what Lee Zelden is doing.

51:26 I mean, just you know, regarding climate I mean, the trillions of dollars that have just gone out the door, all in the name of climate change, and these policies that Obama and Biden inserted and imposed on the American people, including you know, the mandate, you know, government mandate for electric vehicles. When you only have about six to eight percent of America interested in or even engaged with an electric vehicle, now you're going to mandate that everybody before SD an electric vehicle. I mean, what it did in terms of crippling our GDP and you know, our overall economy is just it's incomprehensible. But look at the American people need to understand that politics matters inasmuch as that who you elect and the policies matter, and you got to know who is actually working on your behalf and is really doing something about affordability.

52:18 Right, Yeah, well that's a huge that's a huge issue. And we have seen prices going down, which is a good thing. We need to keep going down further. I'm hoping that the tax cut measures in the one big beautiful bill and that's kicked in will help to increase supply and growth in the economy. That o'd be something to help us out on the inflation front. By the way, I just looked up that quote from Trump, and what he actually said was, quote, I just want to find eleven thousand, seven seven hundred and eighty votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. Unquotes, he said, I just want to find not you go find me, or you better find me, anything like that. I just want to find elenousand, seven seven hundred eighty votes. So that's what he said in the Washing Post transcript of that conversation. But you know, the bottom line here is that we've got to get to the truth on vote fraud, on fraudulent registrations, and as you say, the successive spending in so many areas, it just leads to fraud, corruption, waste, and so on. And if we don't do that, the republic will be truly, truly in jeopardy.

53:18 Well here it is, Deroy. I've been telling everybody here recently that has come down to it's not about Republicans or Democrats. What it's come down to. It's either you are American or you're anti American. That's what's on the streets in Minnesota. It has nothing to do about you. I mean, the Republican and Democratic divide as far as party partisan politics that's all a ruse. That's not what it's all about. The very core. And you and I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. The very core of the American dream is what we're fighting for right now. You either are for America or you're against America. That's exactly right. And you know it's sad it's got to that point. But to see the behavior of people, for example, in Minneapolis, the destruction of so many of these so called peaceful protesters who've been getting the faces of ICE agents, breaking windows of their hotels, this sort of thing, it's not the kind of behavior you want to see from patriotic folks at all.

56:40 Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez live, well. Good morning America. Good to have you with us, six minutes after the top. They are right now. We've got the Fox Hughes contributor, Horace Cooper, the one and only joining us track now. Horace, good morning, how are you? Good morning? Hey, Lots to get caught up on. You know, I've been thinking a lot here lately that. It's like we are in the midst of a revolution that probably maybe seventy five to eighty percent of the country is not aware of it. We keep thinking that we have a constitution and that everything's going to work itself out. But it's almost like, you know, the Bolsheviks are running a muck here and forget about the Constitution, forget about you know, the things, the traditions that we hold to as Americans. And what I find myself considering and looking at here, Horace, is it's not a republican versus democratic thing. It's an American versus a non American deal.

57:41 Does that make sense to. You, Well, it does make sense to me. I'm optimistic. However, our experiment in self government doesn't exist in the rest of the. World in the form that we have. We have a ridden constitution that gives us the right to go. Into court even when there. Are places where the courts have refused to honor the principles of our constitution. Ultimately, when these disputes get to the Supreme Court, a strong and robust constitutional majority of jurists act in accordance with our constitution. That, along with a conservative president and conservatives controlling Congress, means that the assault on our nation. And you're right, it's an assault.

58:40 It is aggressive, but I don't think it can succeed. Right, although it's creating a lot of havoc, and you know, and I'm shocked, Horus, because when the mainstream media would lead us to believe that their pulling is indicating that Democrats should be running away with the midterms. And this is after a robust year that this president has been able to do on behalf of the American people and making things truly affordable. I mean, look what's happening with the stock market. People are making more money per hour, the big beautiful bill coming into play, energy sector, AI investment in the country. All this is targeting and looking toward a rather robust and you know, as Trump would say, a golden age and era for America.

59:32 So a dangerous number of Americans, about twenty two percent, I call it a dangerous number, believe that America is a failure, that America should close its doors as a institution, as a place where people can come. They want to re make it. And that's part of why they've tried to swamp bust with so many foreigners. Twenty two percent of these people are wanting to undermine and destroy America and our last president, excuse me. In a typical presidential election, about sixty percent of the population actually votes, not seventy nine eighty and certainly not one hundred percent. Compared that to Australia, where they have regularly more than ninety nine percent of the eligible population voted. So when you have sixty percent and twenty two percent hate the very idea of what we exist, all they need to do is add about five or six percent of fake, cheating, illegal votes and you can get close enough to get a winning margin. In twenty twenty four, that wasn't enough, and that's the reason why Donald Trump was elected. Here is what we expect in an off year election, Probably only about forty four or

1:01:06 forty five percent of the American people will vote. But I promise you the twenty two percent that wants to destroy the country, they're gonna. Be there exactly. Yeah, it's our. Job to make sure people that aren't paying attention understand that the stakes are extremely high this time. Well, especially because the Democrats have made it clear that will be deluged with impeachment. After impeachment, They've already got articles already written up, getting ready to present once Haakim Jeffreys takes over the gabble, God forbid, and then everything all this momentum that Donald Trump has thrust on our economy and everything will just go down the tubes. I mean, look what's happening with the GDP. I mean, for almost looking at five percent. He even said yesterday that we're looking at possibly even getting if we had some cooperation from the fads and with all this investment coming in horace, we could realize a GDP of as much as fifteen percent.

1:02:09 And I know that, you know, Barack Obama and the others on the left probably just fainted, you know, when they heard that. But look at Donald. Trump has been pretty right on, you know, with everything that he's projected, hasn't. He You know, you're right. You know that when Eisenhower was president, we actually had at least one year out of his eight years a thirteen percent annual GDP. So it's not crazy to get real growth government out of the way. But I want to turn back to what we risk if the other side prevails. Yes, they plan to change the number of justices on the Supreme Court so that when you go and to have your constitutional rights vindicated, there will instead be woke warriors two, three, four or five more on the court to offset the constitutional maturity. When you start talking about the freedom that this administration has provided by getting rid of the climate hoax. I can assure you that if the other side, if the leftists, prevailed, they're going to mandate that all federal policy must assume that there is a dramatic heating warming that is taking place,

1:03:44 and that every single it won't just be your appliances, it might just be your laun mower. Every single aspect of your life will be impacted by this radical idea. Right, and now you've. Got regulation nation back and you're probably talking if you can imagine Joe Biden's policies on steroids horrors. Yeah, absolutely, this is this is I didn't I haven't listed everything you want to talk about. Telling your kids. That they know that, at seven or eight years old that even though God created them and they were born a boy, they are in fact a girl, and there will be taxpayer dollars used to promote this. Just like during COVID, if you object, if you're a doctor, you could lose your license. When people were ordering ivermectin a completely safe way to protect oneself, the postal service was hiring inspectors to look at packages and prevent those packages from being delivered. I promise you this is the kind of craziness that America will face if that twenty two percent is able to work with cheating to get itself

1:09:58 Welcome back America. The former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator and author, Horace Cooper continues with us, Horace, you know this is how the numbers work. You're exactly right. You got twenty two percent of the lunatic fringe is what they would call him in political science terms. That are right. I mean, that's the tail shaking the dog here. But this is what happens when you got the silent majority and those that do not want to participate. And this is why Donald Trump is looking at the midterms like as if he is running, because the fact of the matter is his agenda is on the ballot, is it not. It's not just his agenda, and that's right, it is, but it's the very idea of what it means to be an American.

1:10:44 Look, we just had a Super Bowl I watch every year. I was a little bit disappointed that the game wasn't nearly as exciting, but the halftime show was an affront on America. Thank goodness that there was an all American halftime show alternative. On Super Bowl Night, they were announcing that they had ten million streams. The next morning that number was twenty five exactly. Then we start seeing one American News, Real Americans Voice, TVN and some of these other TV network numbers that could end up being forty million people. Here's the point.

1:11:34 Nobody requires you to tune in. When I was trying to tune in, it actually wasn't simple, right. Maybe it wasn't if I were ten or eleven or twelve, but it required some effort. My point about that is, if you get forty five million people saying that this is important to them, that's a lot of people that are rejecting the craziness. What we want to do is translate. Translate. Let me be. Clear, not forty five million people, forty five million streams. If you had it on at your house and there were three people there. You multiply that number times three exactly is a large, workable number that could make America stay America for our kids and grandkids.

1:12:30 Well, it'd be interesting to see if the statisticians break that down horse like you said, and turn it into numbers, because if you look at a comparative and they're and they're capable of doing this is looking at the viewing numbers of halftime of who stuck around for Bad Bunny versus who went to the TPUSA Alternative halftime show? Right, yeah, yeah, I actually worried that the mainstream media I was wrong. Well I was right, but I was wrong in my prediction. I thought that we wouldn't get to hear the news for a week or two. But it turns out that we could count on TPUSA to give us almost up to date numbers within an hour of the super Bowl ending.

1:13:19 You know what, the super Bowl itself hasn't yet given us numbers. This is telling. Now. I get that the NFL. Wants to be international, but I tell you, and I'll tell your audience what is great about the super Bowl is that it's American. And if you rip from it American, you're going to rip from it the excitement and enthusiasm for the rest of the world. Yeah, you think about you know that all the exercise they've gone through and all this stuff going back to calling Koppernick and other controversies unnecessarily, they've plitticized something that should be a political I mean, they should follow the Michael Jordan rule.

1:14:11 End of story. All these athletes, I mean, even Horace, even these Olympians, and I'm thinking, who is you know, who's with these Olympians in these news conferences that you know are trying to keep these people from getting in trouble. I mean, at least we had some tennis players in Australia that were smart enough to say, I'm not going for the bait. You know, I'm here to play tennis. But we got some knucklehead citizens of America. The taxpayers paid them all kinds of money. I mean, they're sitting there in their Olympic jack you know, those Olympic jackets. If you wanted to buy one horse eighteen hundred bucks, they're sitting in eighteen hundred just the jackets alone, not to mention all the other stuff that the American taxpayer gives them to represent our country with pride, and they're putting us down, and I'm thinking, what is wrong with this pitch?

1:15:01 Well, I was disappointed. Let me just say this. I have never thought of the athlete or entertainment community as being the sharpest knives in the drawer. What I am annoyed mostly by is how the journalists community they know that these people aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer, and they go to them and they ask them. To opine on serious questions. Now, if these were candidates running for office, do you think that the journalists community would let them get away with a mumbling, rumbling statement that is all but incoherent and reveals how.

1:15:46 Silly they are. No, they get what they want from them to attack America, and then they move on the shame of those athletes. What I hope is that as advice work with future athletes, they just start telling them like they're doing now with golf, if you get asked a question, the same as with tennis. If you get asked a question and it has nothing to do with your sport, you have no answer. Exactly. Yeah, you compromise the brand. You know. Going back to what you said earlier about how long it's taken the NFL to come up with numbers. I think part of the reason is they're trying to figure out, how do we justify maybe some loan numbers. Here to the advertisers that this year paid a record number eight to ten million dollars for a thirty second ad horse.

1:16:38 You know. One of my things about the Super Bowl is, of course I like the game. I didn't like it this year. It wasn't all that exciting. But the other is the commercials. Yes, they were awful this year. Yeah, unbelievable. Where are the creative geniuses? Remember, you're supposed to be trying to let this audience see your product and excited about it. Instead it was alienate. I wonder, are we going to have alternative commercials too? Right? You might be right, Horace, And yes, everything was disappointing, sadly about this Super Bowl. We got a couple of minutes left. I wanted to get your read on what happened in California. A judge slapped down and Governor Newsom, I mean, does he need therapy or medication or what I mean? He loses and he comes out and insists that he won the court case. When the judge made it clear that ICE doesn't have to take their masks off.

1:17:49 This is federalism one oh one Yes. When a federal agent is carrying out his lawful duties, and if you can't get a court to find that those duties are unlawful, you can't regulate them. I remember when TSA was overreaching during the Obama years and their state governments that were attempting to regulate and charge TSA agents for patting people inappropriately, for forcing Grandma's to practically get undressed, and the courts consistently held that even the TSA doing this thing I called it getting the third base was lawful. Where is Lawyer Gavin Newsom's understanding of this reality.

1:18:46 You know? And and here's somebody with presidential ambitions that's right, you know, it's. Shocking to me. I mean, the entire Democrats. See, this is why I get back to what America needs to understand where we are and we all open this up, you know, our discussion horace with the fact that America is in the middle of a revolution, whether they realize it or not. That this isn't about the Democrats or the Republicans. This is about America and anti America. Right. Yes, When Moses told Pharaoh to let God's people go, God ultimately hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he could show his greatness.

1:19:30 When I watch this unbelievable. Fixation on gender identity, this attack on ice, let's ban. Let's refil. When I see this unbelievable fanatic view about global warming, it looks like hearts have been hardened. Yeesh. What it means on election day is there is going to be a parting of the waters. So I'm excited. Well, I'm with you on it, but again I am championing the cause horse as you are. To tell everybody to make sure that your vote counts. We can't have forty five percent of the voters participating on a midterm election that has such major consequences hanging in the balance.

1:20:18 Right, That's exactly right. It's your god given duty self government. Just as a Christian has the freedom, not just to Christian everyone, God has given everyone the freedom to make choices, hoping and assuming that they will see what are good choices. Our founders did the same thing. Benjamin Franklin said, it's a republic if you can. Keep it there, it is. He's the former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator and author, the one and only Horace Cooper. Thank you, Horace, take care of God speed my friend. All right, thank you.

1:24:34 Now, Hey, mister Jeff, how are we doing, buddy? Hey? Bill, good to be with you. Hey. Always always great to have you with us. Look at lots to talk about. Trump is just hitting it out of the park at every turn. I mean the stock market record numbers the close of the week last week. You know, I don't know what the Democrats can do because all they can talk about is how much they hate Trump, and Trump is just you know, just going forward on behalf of the American people. You know. Uh, the the economy is going to turn out to be a winning issue for Republicans in the midterms, because right now everyone's saying the economy is a negative. But it's all coming together, you're right, Bill, I mean the stock market, the tariffs, the inflation, the interest.

1:25:21 Rates, the gas prices. I think people are going to be feeling pretty good economically, and and that's how people vote. I mean, people vote their pocketbooks, and it's always the economy. And you're right, I mean historic numbers and a lot of people have retirements for owen ks. I mean they're pitting right. Well, and all the all the babies that are being born right now coming in with the right with with with the Trump you know, baby boomer deal, we're going to get about Yeah. What about if you work on tips? What about if you work over time? What about if you're social Security? Eighty eight percent are not going to be taxed. So those are all very positive indicators. Well, and the thing is, you know, you talk about affordability.

1:26:02 All the Democrats can do is talk about it. But you know, I guess they think that Americans are you know, of course this is all being propagandized by the mainstream media. But it's the Democrats that created the lack of affordability that put the pressure on. It's Donald Trump and the Republican policies that have reversed that and that as you say, now that the big beautiful Bill is coming into more and more every day full force. Look what's happening. I mean our GDP. I mean, Barack Obama's got to be just being you know, he's got to be waking up in the middle of nine thinking, oh my god. You know, because he told Trump, because and everybody else. Remember, he says, this guy thinks he can get three four percent GDP. He says he'll never get more than two percent, because that's just the way it is.

1:26:48 Well, you know, here's the difference. Barack Obama doesn't know anything about economics. I mean, the guy's a community organizer. Joe Biden didn't know anything about economics. The guy's a creature of government. Spent his whole career government. Donald Trump worked in the private sector. He knows how the economies work. So what better to have a business man in the White House directing the economy, someone who understands economics. And I think that certainly gives him advantage over these Democrats who do nothing but live off of government. And yeah, he's had tremendous economic growth, and we're seeing all the factor's economic factors going in the right direction, and we're recovering from the mess, the total disaster that Joe Biden created in this country. And you know, it just doesn't happen overnight, but after a year, I think it's pretty darn good.

1:27:37 Bill Well really and The other thing too, is he's brought leadership into the Oval office that hasn't been there, you know, I mean true leadership that is can you know, it's bringing the Republican Party because even when they go off the off the reservation, he goes and grabs them and brings them back in and you know, does a little you know, spine transplant to get these guys to realize that they can stand up and you know, be courageous and not worry so much about getting re elected, but do what's right for the American people and the rest of it will take care of itself. Right. Well, you hit upon the Achilles heeal, and that is these rhinos in Congress, these Republicans that he has to work with. I mean, I think he's got a good team in his cabinet. I think he's got a much better cabinet than he had in his first term. But he's got weak people that he's dealing with in Congress. Notice, so many of them don't even want to hang around for the second half of the Trump turn. Thirty of them, thirty of them are resigning.

1:28:37 Those are rhinos, Bill, They're getting out. Yeah, So that creates a challenge to keep control of Congress when you have so many that are leaving. Well, that could be a blessing because and Trump is working hard. He's already he's already said, look at I'm going on the campaign. I'ming a campaign like as if I'm running, because the fact of the matter is, Jeff he is running. I mean, this is this is his legacy, it's his presidency. Because the Democrats said, the Democrats are to take over the gavel in both houses. Forget it, I mean particularly the House alone. I mean it'll be in peachment city. They've already they've got impeachment articles already templated, ready to go. Right. Oh, they're going to impeach him. They're going to try and impeach some of his cabinet officials.

1:29:18 I think Christine. Hostia peak, I think that's exactly their agenda. They have nothing positive to offer, nothing that's going to help the American people, So they'll just go on their TDS rampage and go after Trump again. That's what they did. Remember what happened in the first term, he lost forty seats. In the twenty eighteen midterm, Democrats took over and they launched investigations and impeached them twice, and I'm sad to say that'll probably happen again, right. And so the American people need to understand. Look at if you like winning and you like what Trump's policies are delivering, do you forget about what the mainstream media is telling you? Because the mainstream media, according to MRC, purposely ninety six percent of what they reported negative.

1:30:01 And you know, and you go right on down the line, whatever it is, it's all negative. Everything is anti Trump. They don't have the journalistic ethos to do professional journalism. And that's pathetic because our First Amendment right of free speech and that protects the media. It's for them to serve this great American idea and preserve this republic, this democratic republic. Instead, they're outside of the bubble. They've gone into the bubble of their own and become, you know, no longer journalists, they're propagandists, right. And I'm glad to see that this administration, like for the press briefings, allows alternative media and to ask questions.

1:30:45 I wish the president would do more and boost up the alternative media. He still goes on these these mainstream media outlets like I guess you had to take advantage of the Super Bowl opportunity and go on NBC. But I mean, they're just not fair to them. Now. CBS maybe in the process of trying to become more. Objective with a new leadership there. Hopefully that will continue because we just found out the other day that they suppressed the information about the Hunter Biden laptop, and we know what kind of journalistic journalistic ethics they used to have. So I guess anything in CBS will be an improvement built right.

1:31:26 Well, but it's going to be a long time coming. When you're when you're so you know, committed to a culture that they've created for decades. This is a generational pattern. It's systemic. There needs to be a wrecking ball taken through all the institutions, including our own government. Our government is corrupt and compromised. I mean, here it is. It took all this time, what six years for us to have the FBI the right leadership in the White House, and the FBI to go to Atlanta and open up you know, Fulton County and say hey, we want we want the history, we want all those to take a look at. And now here they are looking at Roethlisberger I mean Roethlisberger, I don't know how he can possibly have a political future.

1:32:08 Well, he wants to be governor. I know, I know he's been a governor. But let's say, let's go even further back. I mean that they're now going back into Benghazi. You know, someone was just arrested for benng Ghazi, so we're still not even finished investigating there. Because there's a lot to ben Ghazi that we haven't been told that they need to still uncover. So there's so much corruption, fraud, waste, abuse, a nefarious activity that needs to be uncovered. And hey, the sooner they get to it, the better. But you're right, there's so many deep state plants in all of these agencies and so hard and then every time the president tries to get something positive going, a judge will come in and say, no, he can't do it, because the left always goes to their judges.

1:32:53 This is why to say act is so critical. It's part and parcel to what could lie ahead for America. And I think that one of the things that try is doing is he's pulling back the shroud and the veil and all this deception, this deception that has been a house of cards built on lies going all the way back to the JFK assassination and probably even before then, Jeff, of the truth being known because it seems to center around you know, that three. Letter agency known as the CIA. Oh yeah, I mean I think we've been lied to you. I mean, we can go back to the Gulf of Tonkin, we can go back to the Gulf War. I mean, so many different things have been misrepresented to the American people.

1:33:34 So that's why I think what Telsea Gabbert's doing Bill is so important. She's I think a true teller at D and I. But again, it just takes so much time to rectify these things. So that's why we. Need MAGA leadership after President Trump finishes his term to continue on this mission, because it's not going to be done. I mean, there's just so. Much there's no way. Yeah, this has been a generational issue, no doubt about it. But this is why the American people have really got to come out in record numbers and eas you're write about, Yes, it's going to be the older generation because they know better, they've had enough experience and to overwhelm what any kind of numbers the young people will do because right now they're easily persuaded, and Trump, you know, is not letting them go either. I mean, he's still staying focused on all demographics, isn't he.

1:34:26 I think the older generation is the key to winning the midterms. I wrote about that this week. That's what President Trump's pollster said. They could call them the deciders, and I really think they are. They're the ones with the highest voter registration, the highest turnout, The younger voters have the lowest, The younger voters are manipulated by social media and all this nonsense, the bad bunnies of the world and all the different craziness that the left offers. And the older voters have more wisdom. Yeah, I think they're the ones that will decide this midterm. Well an they've New Orleans political commentator and host of the award winning program Ringside Politics. My good friend Jeff Career, Thank you, Jeff, take.

1:35:06 Care Okay, Bill, thank you so much. Job. Why do I go to the doctor working on the farm, my heart kept skipping a beat. I didn't think much of it, but my daughters made me get checked out. Turns out I have atrial fibrillation, which increases the risk of stroke. About five times. Symptoms like a regular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or lightheadedness can come and go, but if it's a FIB, the risk of stroke remains.

Bill Martinez here along with Adam Holtz, the One and Only Yes from pluggedin dot com, a ministry of Folcus on the family. Uh you ready to sing, oh Solomeo?

1:39:23 Uh no, well yeah, oh Solomeo. Yes exactly. Yeah. We we just need some wine and pasta and some cheese and bageats to kind of go with that song. Well, it's a little early for the wine, but you know pasta. It's never too early for pasta, right. Yeah, exactly, exactly. What a cute movie? Do you like that? I did? Yeah? You know this is a Kevin James movie. He plays a guy named Matt, a very earnest and sincere man who's been really diligently planning the most rome mantic wedding you can imagine. I love that romantic. That's it. That's great good in Rome, and wouldn't you know it is his bride to be.

1:40:08 She doesn't show up. She leaves him a ring and a note says, so sorry, I hope you can forgive me. He has somebody to a hotel who says, ah, you know, you should make the best of it. You paid for this trip to Rome, may as well enjoy it, And as only happens in romantic comedies, he decides to really take that advice and meets another woman named Gia, and they develop a slow, blossoming kind of quiet romance. Bill, we're going to say, a percolating type. Of well, very percolates. It simmers. Yeah, well simmer might be a little strong. Now, percolate because that's what coffee does, right exactly. That's what I like that. I think anyway, it's a movie that wouldn't have been out of place in the nineteen fifties or sixties.

1:40:51 I think there's two really mild profanities, but I mean a little bit of drinking. They are in Rome, after all, right, after all? Yeah, exactly. But other than that, I mean, this is a it's a lovely movie. So if you're looking for a Valentine's Day movie and this is one. You know, guys, sometimes we'd rather, you know, queue up die Hard at Home for the fiftieth time than go see a rom com. But Kevin James is relatable and I like to think that he makes it safe for middle age, bald. Guys everywhere to enjoy the movie. So there you go, Soloo. Yeah, Claudia scared. Claudia scared me.

1:41:32 Yeah she's scary. Yes, I'm with you on that. Yeah, whether you got hair or no hair, that's that's scary. Yes, I'm just saying that is exactly right. But no, yeah, it was really enjoyable. Highly What did you think? Yeah, I did. I enjoy. Kevin James is just I mean, he's such a great actor and played it and you know a couple of surprises there. Andrew Bacelli shows up, Jesus shows up. Jesus shows up. It's not Jesus, it's the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen. Yeah, yeah, I guess We've got to be careful otherwise we're gonna steer people And go, what are Bill and Adam talking about it?

1:42:17 I went, so I didn't see Jesus at all. Did not see Jesus anywhere in that movie, but only because you weren't looking closely enough. Yeah, Jonathan Ruby, the actor shows up. So yeah, yeah, because it is an Angel Studios movie, obviously, and there has been in the past some connection between Angel Studios and the Chosen. They aren't working with each other anymore, but they started out in tandem together. Well, and sometimes you know, this is always a challenge I think with people who are enacting, is they get quote unquote typecast right, Well, yeah, I mean you play such an identified, identifiable character that it's like forever you're associated with that character. Yeah, And I can understand that because John I've seen Jonathan Rome play a couple of different.

1:43:01 Parts in different movies, and it's hard to make. That Jesus is pretending to be somebody else. Now, yeah, exactly, and even and even if he does an Old Testament movie or you know, or even a New test where Jesus era type movie and he's playing a different parts, going, yeah, I'm sorry, I can't, I can't think. Well, it wasn't there. Back in the day, there was sort of a curse on actors that had played Jesus. I mean cursed literally, But many of them never really did anything after that. And I think it's exactly for that reason. Once you get sort of type cast as Jesus, it's sort of like, well, there's nowhere to go but down from there. Really, yeah, like you're like Jim Caviezel, you know, yeah, you never.

1:43:45 Get to play another part because they, you know, Mel Gibson leaves you on the cross, they forget to bring you down right. Well that's a little grim but no, but did you hear that, you know that story? Oh yeah, no, actually I thought you were making a joke, but yes. Oh no, no, I was making a joke. But it was about the lunch break and everybody takes off for lunch and they forget Jesus on the green. Guys, Frank, Bob, can somebody get me down? Oh gosh, oh oh Lord, forgive us. Come on. I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure Jesus is laughing about it too. Well maybe, well, I mean, you know, only because it says, well, see That's what happens when you really don't have the real power of God behind you, because you know, God Almighty would not leave you on the cross. He wouldn't be taking a lunch break and say, okay, well we'll just leave Jesus hang on the pass.

1:44:35 There. At least I know where he's at. Right, right, exactly exactly. I'm getting in trouble better, say okay, so quick, save me. What other movies, So we have Goat, which is about a goat. A goat, obviously is an acronym for greatest of All Time. This is a sports movie about a young goat named Will. He is in an animal planet ish kind of world where the most popular. Sport is called roar ball, and you might. Think three parts basketball, one part rugby ish and it's a very physical game of basketball. His mom has always told him, you're going to change the game, but roarball favors gigantic animals wills of forty pound, soaking wet mountain goat.

1:45:24 But he does have some skills, and he showcases those on social media. And when't you know it, the owner of a team that is struggling she sees him and she thinks it would be a great publicity stunt. She doesn't actually think I'll be able to play or do much to recruit him to the team. He, of course, runs into significant problems with the aging veteran star of the team. Her name is Jet Fillmore. She is a very proud black panther, and not black panther like the political party, but literally a black panther. And you know, underdog or undergoat madness ensues. You know, we get a little bit of a bathroom humor, that's probably the biggest thing to note here, But we also get a nice story about teamwork, about perseverance, about following your dreams, about the importance of parents actually, and sort of the vision that this little goat's.

1:46:26 Mom cast for him. So, you know, all in all, I would say it's a pretty nice movie. Probably not the best animated movie you've ever seen, and probably not the worst. It's kind of right down the middle of the pipe there. Well, when you talk about the importance of parenting and families, that seems to be coming up more and more of the order of the day. We're getting back to. I mean, you know, you think about the roots of focus on the family. Yeah, that's what started that's what that's the genesis of this ministry. And here we are. It's like we're going full circle to realize that yes, you know, parents do matter. Yeah, parents do matter, and uh, you know, the the way that we help shape our kids self perception is I think one of the roles that we play as parents, especially as our kids get older, right, and as they think about who and what they are going to be, we have the privilege and the responsibility to become an important voice on that journey, you know, because at some point more and more alongside.

1:47:32 Them than we are. You know, now, do this, don't do this right? Uh, it's it's a it's a mentor role. By the time our kids get into their early adulthood phase and we're helping them to think critically, we're encouraging them. We're thankful we're still relating to them because, let's face it, raising teenagers is hard, but we want to maintain. That relationship from from the you know, from the get go, Yes, teenagers, no doubt. I've maintained that you have to pay more to the teenagers then newborns, you know, and I paid a lot of attention. I would wake up in the middle of night, constantly checking on the kids. Yeah you know, hey, okay, they're still breathing. Okay, good and go back to sleep again. And until then it was time to change a diaper.

1:48:15 Then it was like, oh, can't I sleep, No, it's time to change a diaper. So we go through that routine. But anyway, the thing that what happens, I guess in my latter years that I appreciate is that having children really slays your selfishness. Oh it does, And actually I would say it, well, I have so many thoughts on this. I have to be careful not to be too judgmental of married friends who decide that they're not going to have children. Not that they can't have children, but they're like, well, we're not going to have kids. I'm like, Okay, at some point in your idyllic, double income, no kids lifestyle, you're gonna wake up one morning and you're gonna think what did we do?

1:49:05 Right? There are so many there are only so many trails you can go hike with your three Labrador retrievers, right, and they're living their best Subaru dog life and they're having adventures and they're skilled. You've thought about this, well, so dog life I mean, you really have thought about. This, no, I mean I lived in Colorado for thirty years and everybody had a dog and everybody had a Subaru. But I and no kids, and well a lot some of them, not a lot of them. But I just think kids pull us out of ourselves. They pull us out of our self absorption. They force us to mature in ways that, quite frankly, are painful sometimes. I remember one night trying to get my son to sleep when he was an infant, and I just started counting out loud because I was at my wits end, and I got to fifteen hundred before he went to sleep.

1:49:54 It was a long count, right, Yes, But. We learned things about ourselves that I think but I don't think we learn any other way. And I think that it makes us and not that being a parent magically makes you this virtuous person. But I do think we have an opportunity to grow in selflessness in a way that nothing else affords that opportunity. It definitely smooths out some rough edges, There's no doubt about it, right yep. Absolutely, Yeah. And by God's grace and mercy you keep loving them anyway. Yeah, And by God's grace and mercy. They keep loving you anyway, because I think you know, when you're a young person, I think a lot of us go through a moment of realization or anger where we realized how our parents blew it. And by the time we actually have kids, we realize, oh, all parents blow it. It's just a question of what it looks like, right, because nobody gets it perfect right.

1:50:51 And you come away and you say how grateful you are, oh parent you have, and how and how great they were, and what a blessing. Ye well, Adam Holt, you got to leave it there, buddy.
