  We will draw this city closer together.

  Coast to coast and around the world from the America Out Loud Talk Radio Studios.
• 0:17
  We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

  It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:26
  Is the Iran ceasefire in jeopardy?
• 0:29
  And what about the ceasefire that's gone on in Gaza for a very long time?
• 0:34
  Is it about to end?
• 0:36
  I'm Booker.
• 0:37
  This is The Truth Be Told.
• 0:38
  Thank you for joining us.
• 0:39
  I really do appreciate it.
• 0:41
  We have a lot to talk about, as always.
• 0:43
  And we will get to Iran and Gaza here in a few minutes.
• 0:47
  But before we go there, I'm going to talk about gerrymandering just a bit, because the Democrats are losing their mind right now, especially over what happened in Tennessee.
• 0:56
  The Tennessee legislature was in session this week.
• 1:00
  They redrew the lines in the state of Tennessee, and they have eliminated all Democrat representation in the House of Representatives now by drawing the lines that they did.
• 1:10
  It has passed both chambers in Tennessee's legislature, both the House and the Senate, and now Governor Bill Lee will sign that into law.
• 1:19
  What it did was they drew three lines through Memphis.
• 1:22
  And if you look at one of these lines, this just district now goes from Memphis all the way over to east of Nashville, which by car that's probably a two, two and a half hour drive.
• 1:34
  That's how gerrymandering works.
• 1:36
  And uh Memphis, they uh want to secede from the state of Tennessee.
• 1:40
  I'm not sure where they think they would go.
• 1:42
  If you look to their south, there's Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama.
• 1:46
  You look to the West, it's Arkansas.
• 1:48
  Go north, Missouri.
• 1:50
  So I don't know what state they think they would uh be able to go to to make things better for them.
• 1:55
  But Representative Steve Cohen, who is a jerk, and he has been for a long time.
• 2:00
  I met him in 1986, 40 years ago.
• 2:04
  He was a jerk then, and he has continued to be one, but he will no longer be a member of the House of Representatives as Tennessee gerrymandered him right out of that seat.
• 2:14
  So Tennessee is a pickup of one for the Republicans.
• 2:17
  Florida has already done that.
• 2:18
  They picked up four Republican seats when they gerrymandered that state.
• 2:23
  Texas picked up five, so that's about ten extra Republicans that stand to win in the upcoming primary.
• 2:30
  Alabama says they are going to do the same thing.
• 2:33
  South Carolina and Louisiana, Democrats all over the country are coming unglued about this.
• 2:41
  That's hypocrisy.
• 2:42
  If you pay attention, look up in uh New England as an example.
• 2:47
  Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine.
• 2:52
  Every one of those states has all Democrat representatives.
• 2:56
  And we all know that that's just not really the makeup demographically politically of those states.
• 3:03
  We know that 40 or 45% are Republican or independent leaning conservative, and they have had no voice for decades.
• 3:11
  Because the Democrats gerrymandered like this for years and years, and now the Democrats don't like it because finally the Republicans have said we're gonna do the same thing they've done.
• 3:22
  Honestly, I don't really like all of it, but I think it's, you know, well past time that the Republicans actually caught up to it and and have done it.
• 3:31
  So I'm glad that they have.
• 3:33
  Maybe that secures a seat or two for the midterm.
• 3:36
  I think that it will.
• 5:44
  So unless that regime changes, probably nothing will change with Iran.
• 5:49
  Now let's go to the West and let's go to the Gaza Strip.
• 5:52
  It's something that I haven't talked about in a while, and I don't really see it in the news that much either.
• 5:58
  And this is something that I have said for a long time, since the beginning of this uh ceasefire in Gaza.
• 6:06
  Matt Palumbo and I have talked about it as well.
• 6:08
  There were a couple of parts of the ceasefire.
• 6:10
  One, there was just the ceasefire that we're gonna quit bombing each other, and for the most part, it has held.
• 6:16
  There have been some instances where Israel has gone into the Gaza Strip with troops.
• 6:21
  They have also bombed, but Hamas has also done a little bit of that as well.
• 6:25
  But overall, the ceasefire has held.
• 6:27
  The second part of that, and this was the part that Matt and I both agreed that Hamas is never going to give up their weapons.
• 6:35
  And that was the second part of that ceasefire.
• 6:37
  And that's where we are now.
• 6:39
  If you pay attention and look into it, you'll find that Hamas is not going to give up their weapons.
• 6:45
  And I don't know what that means.
• 6:46
  Maybe Israel will begin to fire on uh Hamas again, uh an Iranian proxy there in the Gaza Strip.
• 6:54
  There was a split ruling from the Court of International Trade on Thursday, and it delivered President Donald Trump another setback in his tariff agenda, and I have always been one that has been supportive of tariffs.
• 7:00
  President Donald Trump, another setback in his tariff agenda, and I have always been one that has been supportive of tariffs.
• 7:07
  I thought it was a great idea really to level the playing field and uh bring jobs back to America.
• 7:07
  I thought it was a great idea really to level the playing field and uh bring jobs back to Americans.
• 7:13
  And also, it really put a wedge between China and the BRICS countries, which if you look right now, it seems like BRICS has lost a lot of power.
• 7:13
  And also it really put a wedge between China and the BRICS countries, which if you look right now, it seems like BRICS has lost a lot of power.
• 7:22
  Uh China is pulling away from Iran right now.
• 7:22
  Uh China is pulling away from Iran right now.
• 7:26
  India has pulled away as well.
• 7:26
  India has pulled away as well, so uh Bricks.
• 7:28
  So uh BRICS to me is not as scary as it was a few years ago.
• 7:33
  Well, this uh this this ruling there in the Court of International Trade, uh and I don't know what this court really means to Donald Trump and America.
• 7:42
  The full scope of the ruling wasn't really clear either, but it is expected to immediately invalidate all or part of Donald Trump's effort to impose a 10% tariff on goods from around the globe.
• 7:55
  The legal process, however, it will continue.
• 7:58
  Uh Trump is expected to appeal.
• 8:01
  The higher courts are expected to weigh in as well as this goes through the process.
• 8:06
  We don't know what that means either.
• 8:08
  And before we get off Iran here, before I leave this subject, let's go to Marco Rubio.
• 8:14
  He was doing the press conference earlier this week at the White House, and here's something he said about Iran.
• 8:19
  I don't know of any country in the world where there's a bigger difference between the people and the people who run the country.
• 8:24
  Okay, this country is run by radical Shia clerics.
• 8:27
  And that's not what Iran and the Iranian people are.
• 8:30
  Now they may be Shia, but they're not radicals and they're not clerics, and and they just want a normal life and a regular life, and in many ways a very cosmopolitan country with a with an incredible history, incredible history, an incredible legacy and the like.
• 8:42
  So there's this huge divide between the people of Iran, whom we sympathize with, and who the president sympathized with, because they're the ones suffering.
• 8:49
  And he's right.
• 8:50
  It is the Iranian people that are suffering.
• 8:52
  Let's go back to January and remember what happened there, that it was the government of Iran that killed thousands of Iranian people that stood up for the things that they wanted.
• 9:04
  And uh and a big part of that also was inflation at the time that was 50 percent, over 50 percent.
• 9:10
  Now it's over 100 percent, as the uh embargoes, the sanctions, the blockade, the straight of four moves being shut down, it is taking a toll on the people of Iran, and the only hope I guess we have for them is that they do have an uprising and they take their country back.
• 9:28
  I think that's really where the regime change will come in, and hopefully they will get to that point.
• 9:33
  I saw this story in Florida, and I thought it was interesting because we see these activists, radical judges all over the place.
• 9:40
  And in the state of Florida, there was one and I can't believe what she did, actually.
• 9:46
  And there's some pressure building now to impeach her.
• 9:50
  That's a really good possibility in the state of Florida where you have Governor Ron DeSantis and you have a supermajority of Republicans in both chambers of that house in the state of Florida.
• 10:00
  Well, uh the judge is Tiffany Baker, and she released a known sex offender.
• 10:05
  And this known sex offender, this this this guy gets out and he kills a five-year-old.
• 10:12
  He should have never been let out of uh jail.
• 10:15
  And this judge, Tiffany Baker in Tallahassee, Florida, released him to kill a five-year-old.
• 10:20
  Here is Governor Ron DeSantis.
• 10:22
  You need to incarcerate them.
• 10:24
  You don't release them back into the community when you have the option of of remanding them to custody.
• 10:31
  So that was a situation where I I don't understand how there could have been that big of a breakdown when this guy obviously had a checkered past.
• 10:40
  He was doing something that I think a lot of people would find very troubling uh by going traveling to meet someone he thought was an underage girl, you know, that he was gonna uh sexually abuse.
• 10:52
  So the fact that the judge uh released and um and then this tragedy happened, this was avoidable.
• 11:01
  This was preventable.
• 11:03
  This was a tragedy that should have never happened.
• 11:06
  And when you think about that, and you think about Lake and Riley and all of the other ones that were killed by illegal immigrants, none of that should have happened.
• 11:15
  They should be alive today, and it's sad.
• 11:18
  And we have activist judges who for some reason allow this person out of jail, and I think there should be consequences for judges like this.
• 11:26
  This is Judge Baker, Tallahassee, Florida.
• 11:29
  Maybe she has some accountability with impeachment.
• 11:32
  There is always that possibility, and I'm not sure why our government, our legislators and states and federal government, they don't use their power to impeach these judges more than they do.
• 11:44
  In fact, they hardly ever do it.
• 11:46
  And it's caused a lot of pain for for a lot of people.
• 11:49
  And I just, you know, i i it's law enforcement.
• 11:53
  If you're on the beat, it's not easy.
• 11:55
  If you're a prosecutor, it's not easy.
• 11:57
  You know, honestly, judges, uh, you know, a lot of them I think could do a lot better in our country, but but it's always it's not always an easy thing that to even be a judge on it.
• 12:07
  But on these situations, man, can't we all agree that you got to do what it takes to protect the public?
• 12:13
  And and that was a that was a breakdown.
• 12:15
  That was a that was negligence, it was a neglect of duty.
• 12:19
  And I agree with Ron DeSantis.
• 12:20
  We should be able to all agree on that.
• 12:23
  If a person is a bad person, let's keep them in jail.
• 12:26
  Why is that rocket science?
• 12:28
  Why is that so difficult for these liberal activist judges?
• 12:32
  We we just want to be safe.
• 12:34
  We want to be secure.
• 12:35
  If they do something bad, put them in jail.
• 12:37
  That's what we build them for, that's what we make them for.
• 12:40
  Governor Ron DeSantis is at the end of his second term.
• 12:44
  He will be leaving office.
• 12:45
  I'm not sure what the future holds for him, what he will do politically.
• 12:48
  I have heard that he's interested in becoming a Supreme Court justice.
• 12:52
  And I wonder if uh Samuel Alito, if he decides to retire before Donald Trump leaves office, if they may appoint him.
• 13:01
  And then you have to look at the midterm election coming up.
• 13:04
  Because if the Republicans lose the Senate, then the confirmation process is completely different, and maybe you try to get Alito to hang on.
• 13:13
  You have to think politically way out in front of things.
• 13:18
  That's another reason why this midterm election coming up is so very important because of the Supreme Court.
• 13:24
  Alito has made uh comments that he may retire.
• 13:28
  And if he retires, you would want Donald Trump to appoint someone like I don't know, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, either one of those would be maybe a good choice.
• 13:38
  Well, if the Republicans don't have 50 or 51 in the Senate, then it it really doesn't matter because you're not going to get the type of Supreme Court justice that you really want.
• 13:49
  So keep that in mind.
• 13:50
  That's another reason to go vote in the midterm as we continue to watch uh low voter turnout for Republicans.
• 13:57
  And let's go to that because there was an election Tuesday.
• 14:00
  A lot of people are talking about what happened in Indiana.
• 14:03
  Indiana, you know, if we go back to gerrymandering for a minute, the way we started this hour, uh, Indiana refused to gerrymander.
• 14:03
  Indiana, you know, if we go back to gerrymandering for a minute, the way we started this hour, uh, Indiana refused to gerrymander.
• 14:11
  They refused to uh make uh the districts where it would be more Republican, and they have a Republican uh House and Senate in Indiana.
• 14:11
  They refused to uh make uh the districts where it would be more Republican, and they have a Republican uh House and Senate in Indiana.
• 14:20
  They could have done it with a Republican governor as well, but they chose not to, and there were several members in the legislature there that voted against it.
• 14:20
  They could have done it with a Republican governor as well, but they chose not to.
• 14:24
  And there were several members in the legislature there that voted.
• 14:30
  Donald Trump went after them, and they all lost Tuesday.
• 14:34
  Of the seven races, incumbent state senators who had rejected the president's push five months ago to redraw the maps, all losing to Trump backed challengers.
• 14:46
  And I want to get to this race because of the raw vote total.
• 14:50
  And I know everybody's excited.
• 14:52
  A lot of people are excited that Donald Trump put um, you know, his endorsements behind these people that won this this election, and hopefully they will win, also coming up in the midterm in November.
• 15:03
  But when you look at the raw voter turnout on this election in Indiana, pay attention to the Republican number compared to the Democrat number.
• 15:12
  The Democrats are really energized right now to go vote.
• 15:16
  They are voting, and Republicans are still voting at about seven or eight percent of total registered Republicans.
• 15:23
  And that has to change between now and November.
• 15:26
  I don't know about you, but I don't want to go back to having vaccines mandated.
• 15:32
  I I don't want to go back to censored speech.
• 15:42
  And those things should put the fear into the conservative base coming up in November and in all of these primaries to get out and go vote.
• 15:52
  You have to go vote, regardless of regardless of how you think things are going, whether you think Donald Trump is doing the right thing or not, you have to look at the big picture here and what all of this actually means for the future.
• 16:05
  You can't just sit home and do nothing.
• 16:08
  And you kind of see that in Indiana Tuesday.
• 16:12
  I think you can take that away from Indiana.
• 16:15
  It's a great thing.
• 16:16
  Those seven that that beat the the people that held up the gerrymandering in Indiana that would secured more seats in the House of Representatives, and uh, you know, it's a good thing they're all gone.
• 16:28
  But look at the the voter turnout.
• 16:31
  This is what concerns me going into the midterm.
• 16:35
  Because the Democrats, they're gonna do everything they can.
• 16:38
  Here is uh Congressman Benny Thompson.
• 16:41
  He was the J six committee chairman, if you remember him, and he is calling for insurrection and a second civil war if Mississippi decides to redraw their lines.
• 16:53
  Listen to this.
• 16:54
  With every fiber in our body.
• 16:57
  Uh we're gonna have to take this system on uh at every election because it's not just members of Congress.
• 17:04
  We're talking about state legislatures, we're talking about unit commissioners, we're talking about city council.
• 17:13
  Absolutely.
• 17:14
  So he thinks that uh the Democrats have to get after it here in the midterm, and they are energized right now.
• 17:20
  I agree with what he is saying there that the Democrats are going out there to try to block everything the Republicans are doing, and uh and honestly, I get sick of all of it.
• 17:30
  Uh the Democrats have done this forever.
• 17:33
  The hypocrisy, as I said earlier in the hour already, it's mind blowing to me.
• 17:38
  Look at New England, look at a map of New England, look at California, look at New York, look at Illinois.
• 17:44
  The Democrats have done this for decades.
• 17:46
  The Republicans are catching up, and the Democrats don't like it.
• 17:49
  And I would say that uh, you know, we'll keep an eye on Florida as well, because there was a law passed in 2010 by the people that uh uh added it to the Constitution and amendment that makes redrawing illegal if it's for a political ideology purpose.
• 18:07
  And I think that argument could be made, and there is a lawsuit coming from Norm Eisen there in Florida to get them to reverse that redraw on the gerrymandering.

• 21:27
  I'm gonna play her post for you.
• 21:29
  Some of a
• 21:29
  Some of it may be offensive to you, but I think her message is very important.
• 21:36
  We're gonna have a conversation with her in just a minute.
• 21:38
  But first, here is her social media post.
• 21:41
  Hi, I'm Laverne Spicer.
• 21:43
  And I read a post yesterday on X where someone was talking about it's okay to start calling black people niggas.
• 21:54
  People don't do that.
• 21:56
  That's just so disrespectful.
• 21:59
  It's like you walk around and you see a white person, you're gonna call them a cracker.
• 22:03
  Or if you see a Hispanic person, you're gonna call them a wet bag.
• 22:07
  Uh and you're gonna go walk up to black people that you don't know and call them a nigga.
• 22:13
  Oh, I would I really wouldn't advise anybody to do that, not less you really want to get up on the bullshit and tilt.
• 22:21
  Don't do it.
• 22:22
  Do not do it.
• 22:23
  We have come so far as people.
• 22:26
  I mean, for the first time in history, we have black people that are out here that are representing the GOP, and we are doing positive things in our community to uplift each other.
• 22:40
  So let's not go as backwards by doing dumb shit like that.
• 22:44
  That's uncalled for and really unnecessary.
• 22:47
  Because what you're gonna do, you're gonna drive that wedge and against that vote vote of these.
• 22:54
  So do not do that.
• 22:55
  Do not do it.
• 22:56
  You know, we've come so far as people, just don't do that.
• 23:00
  So I'm saying this to say, let's have some R E S P E C T, y'all.
• 23:07
  Let's get this shit together, and let's do better as people.
• 23:11
  We got a f country to say.
• 23:13
  It's no longer whites against black and all that bullshit that used to go down like that.
• 23:18
  It's no longer that kind of shit.
• 23:20
  Because we got a whole influx of illegals that are here that are gonna take over this country while we are still on the elementary level doing dumb shit.
• 23:32
  So let's get past the dumb shit, and let's get Trump elected.
• 23:36
  Let's get him in office so we can restore this country back to the way it needs to be.
• 23:42
  And let and remember, let's respect each other, let's respect each other.
• 23:47
  Don't let people talk y'all into doing dumb shit that's gonna get your that's gonna get a foot stuck straight up your ass.
• 23:54
  Don't do it.
• 23:55
  Take it from me, Laverne Spicer.
• 23:57
  I know my shit.
• 23:58
  So there you have Laverne Spicer sharing some real feelings on a social media post on X.
• 24:04
  And we have her now here with us as a guest.
• 24:07
  Laverne, welcome to the program.
• 24:10
  Thank you so much for inviting me on.
• 24:12
  Well, that was quite spirited, but I think it and actually I don't even think.
• 24:17
  I know that it comes from your heart, and there is a good reason that you did that.
• 24:23
  Can you can you tell us what what motivated you to didn't make the post?
• 24:28
  What was it that you saw?
• 24:29
  What was that social media post that you said, okay, this is ridiculous.
• 24:33
  We're not gonna have this.
• 24:34
  Well, someone brought it to my attention that um the Hodge twins had did a um podcast, and they were saying to people it's okay for people to call black people the N-word.
• 24:49
  Yeah.
• 24:50
  And um, you know, and when they said it to me, it just didn't set well with me and my spirit.
• 24:57
  Yeah, it's not okay.
• 24:59
  Why why is that okay?
• 25:00
  Why does anybody think that's okay now?
• 25:02
  It's not okay, and then on top of that, um, someone that I had worked with last year when I was running for Congress, I also saw this person on Facebook, uh, not Facebook on X, teaching their baby, oh baby, that's about seven seven or eight months, how to say the N-word.
• 25:27
  And of all people, I was like, okay, why would she do that?
• 25:32
  You know, why?
• 25:33
  What's the purpose?
• 25:35
  How why would you raise kids and teach them to hate someone based on their color of their skin?
• 25:44
  Yeah.
• 25:45
  So you know, every they just push a great divide these days.
• 25:51
  And I I didn't like it.
• 25:53
  So I said, okay, I got to do something about this.
• 25:57
  Yeah.
• 25:57
  And they are.
• 25:58
  That's what this is all about.
• 25:59
  And I think you made some great points.
• 26:02
  We gotta we have to quit doing what we're doing because we are playing right into their playbook.
• 26:07
  They want us divided, whether it's race and gender, transgender, LGBTQ community.
• 26:13
  They want all these little communities that feel like they are oppressed instead of having us united.
• 26:20
  Because if we are united, they can't stop us, and they know that.
• 26:25
  But we are stopping ourselves because we are allowing ourselves to be divided over stupid things.
• 26:31
  Right, exactly.
• 26:33
  And we all know that the Democratic Party has used the race card for years, especially, you know, with the black community, um, so far as relating to the GOPO, they're racist, all of them are racist, and that's the card that they use because um they know they're not doing nothing for the black community at all.
• 26:54
  So they use that to try to make up and cover the fact that you know, once you vote for them, and once they're elected, doesn't matter.
• 27:02
  They don't be a bad, they don't help, they do nothing, they do absolutely nothing.
• 27:07
  So that's why they use the race car all the time, and they're using that to divide us, and we can't allow that to happen.
• 27:15
  I feel like we've come too far as people, and with everything that's taking place in this country right about now, it's just uh distraction.
• 27:25
  And you bring up the illegal immigrants that have come across the southern border, and uh you're you're bringing attention to the fact that we need to see them maybe not as an enemy, but as a threat to our way of life and the American way of life, the American dream, and it's affecting all of us, regardless of whether you're Hispanic, you're black, or you're white, whatever it is, it is having uh an effect on all of us.
• 27:50
  And I think that was something else that you said too, wasn't it?
• 27:54
  Yes, I did say that because the Biden administration is putting those illegals first.
• 27:58
  I mean, if they're in Chicago, they're giving them 10,000 a month, a place to stay, a car, and all everything else.
• 28:00
  Chicago, they're giving them 10,000 a month, a place to stay, a car, and all everything else.
• 28:06
  And the same thing with New York.
• 28:06
  And the same thing with New York, they're giving them $5,000 um dollars a month, a place to stay, a car.
• 28:08
  They're giving them $5,000 a month, a place to stay, a car.
• 28:12
  They're helping these people get on on the on their feet while we still have veterans that are homeless staying in the streets.
• 28:12
  They're helping these people get on the on their feet while we still have veterans that are homeless staying in the streets.
• 28:21
  We got the seniors that have worked all of their life and still can't find a place to stay that are staying in the streets.
• 28:21
  We got the seniors that have worked all of their life, and still can't find a place to stay that'll stay in the streets, you know.
• 28:29
  You know, we should take care of America to come first.
• 28:33
  The people in this country that have worn and pay their dues into society should be the ones that come first, and not these illegals that are just leaving their countries, and then you see them all the time on social media.
• 28:47
  They get them a place to stay and they are complaining about it.
• 28:50
  Yeah.
• 28:50
  They're not happy with that.
• 28:52
  So if they're not happy with that, why come here in the first place?
• 28:56
  Yeah, go back, go back to press us.
• 28:59
  Yeah, go back to where you came from.
• 29:00
  Yeah.
• 29:01
  Go back to where you came from.
• 29:03
  You already sucking the life out of our subsidies and not our system.
• 29:07
  I mean, the healthcare system and every other system.
• 29:10
  They getting everything when the people that have worked and paid away can't even get it.
• 29:15
  Yeah, I think you bring up a great point.
• 29:17
  I work with these type of people, so I know what these people, the challenges that people are facing in the hard times that they're going through.
• 29:25
  And the Biden administration and Bidenomics has made that even harder on especially the people you're talking about.
• 29:31
  When you're talking about low-income or fixed income people, it it's killed them.
• 29:35
  It's crushed them.
• 29:36
  And yeah, the middle class is shrinking, but the people that need the most help are hurting the most, aren't they?
• 29:43
  And really that's what we need to focus our attention on.
• 29:46
  It's it's not the names that we call each other.
• 29:49
  It's not the division that they are trying to put on us.
• 29:53
  It's us coming together to overwhelm the ballot box on November 5th.
• 29:58
  That's that's what it's all about, so that we can get this country back on track.
• 30:01
  And I think you made a brilliant point in your post.
• 30:05
  Oh, thank you so much.
• 30:06
  And that's absolutely true, because you know, the Biden administration have basically destroyed everything that was going well in this country.
• 30:14
  We have gases at an all-time high, uh food, yeah, food almost like triple up, you know, so people can't even afford to buy food out of the grocery store.
• 30:25
  A lot of people can't afford to eat, don't even know how they're gonna eat while we're giving everything to these people that are coming here, just crossing the border.
• 30:34
  So the Biden administration has like just put this country in total turmoil, and that's why it's so important come November that everybody show up to the polls and just don't come by yourself, bring other people with you.
• 30:49
  We all need to make sure that we vote, you know.
• 30:52
  We can't just sit back and say, well, so and Trump is gonna win.
• 30:56
  No, we can't we can't do that.
• 30:58
  We got to come out and record numbers and make sure that we vote them out.
• 31:04
  That's the only way.
• 31:06
  We know it's no way that 81 million people voted for him.
• 31:09
  How do we get the Laverne?
• 31:11
  How do we get the message out to the people uh that are undecided?
• 31:17
  How do how do we make that message about Donald Trump and not just Donald Trump, but a conservative way of doing things that is better than what we are living in right now?
• 31:27
  How does that message go out to those people to make them come vote and vote for Donald Trump on November 5th?
• 31:34
  Have you give that any thought?
• 31:36
  Well, one thing that I see taking place now is uh, you know, people that were really passive about their thoughts and and and about voting in the first place are really getting involved in politics right about now.
• 31:51
  You know, everybody is watching.
• 31:52
  I don't I don't know who can just sit back and agree with what they see taking place in this country right about now.
• 31:59
  I mean, we got so many issues.
• 32:00
  Look at the trans issue.
• 32:02
  Look at the books that they putting in the library uh for these uh elementary kids uh to read.
• 32:10
  It it it is it's a total disaster.
• 32:12
  I mean, who would even support something like that?
• 32:15
  And uh, let alone the sex change um thing that they're trying to uh put in schools, you know, so far as giving kids the right to make that type of decision when you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes, you gotta be 21 to buy alcohol, but they want to give a kid that's five years old the right to make a gender change uh on their body.
• 32:44
  So we got you know, we got people trying to take away our rights, our freedom of speech, the second amendment rights.
• 32:51
  We got all types of things that uh are taking place in this country.
• 32:56
  So now it's not the time to just sit back, you know.
• 33:00
  You got we need everybody need to be taking a stand.
• 33:03
  Yeah, yeah.
• 33:04
  Everybody needs to be standing up right about now.
• 33:07
  And you need to get loud too.
• 33:08
  People I think they have been too quiet over the last three or four or five years.
• 33:13
  And maybe they haven't been awake, but or maybe there's been a fear to say anything because they didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers.
• 33:20
  What's time to ruffle feathers, I believe, before it's too late.
• 33:23
  And you know, you and I are about the same age, and I have never really in my life seen systemic racism, but that's another thing that the Democrats throw out all the time.
• 33:34
  Systemic racism.
• 33:36
  And I I just don't see evidence of it.
• 33:38
  In fact, I put a post out this week that said there are now 62 members of Congress that are black from the black community.
• 33:46
  That is a record.
• 33:48
  And it's only a record because of black people representing majority white districts.
• 33:55
  If it was a systemic racist country, that would not be the case.
• 34:04
  That says a lot.
• 34:05
  It doesn't match with the story that the Democrats try to say when it's they say it's systemic racism.
• 34:11
  And I know through my life at 58 years old, it's just not what I saw.
• 34:16
  And we're about the same age, we're both Gen Xers.
• 34:19
  And I don't think you saw that either, did you, Laverne?
• 34:22
  Well, one thing that I did see is uh for the politicians that are black and pushing their race narrative.
• 34:29
  The strangest thing is that all of them are married to white people, amala happens, married to a white man.
• 34:35
  Um, the same one, Miss Beetlejuice that was the uh mayor in Chicago, married to a white woman, Beetlejuice, Lightfoot, mayor Lightfoot.
• 34:44
  Yeah, you got it, bingo.
• 34:46
  So all of them, all of them that are pushing that narrative are married to white people.
• 34:53
  Okay, that's strange.
• 34:56
  You know, doing the same thing, all of them, all of them.
• 34:59
  They say one thing with their mouth, but of course, we that read, and we that are on point with everything, we know what is going on out here.
• 35:00
  Say one thing with their mouth, but of course, we that read and we that are on point with everything, we know what is going on out here.
• 35:09
  So we see the handwriting on the wall.
• 35:09
  So we see the handwriting on the wall.
• 35:12
  So they saying one thing, but they're doing another.
• 35:12
  So they saying one thing, but they're doing another.
• 35:15
  Laverne, do you sense a pendulum is changing?
• 35:15
  Laverne, do you sense a pendulum is changing?
• 35:18
  Is it swinging back toward the conservative side right now?
• 35:18
  Is it swinging back toward the conservative side right now?
• 35:21
  Can you feel that momentum?
• 35:21
  Can you feel that momentum?
• 35:23
  Uh, the momentum is is oh, it's moving.
• 35:23
  Uh, the momentum is is oh, it's moving.
• 35:26
  It is here, people.
• 35:26
  It is here, people, it is moving, and I can tell you that.
• 35:28
  It is moving, and I can tell you that because the first time I ran for Congress in 2020 as a conservative on my ex-platform.
• 35:38
  Um, people were always in my inbox, calling me all type of names.
• 35:42
  How could you do that?
• 35:43
  How could you lead the Democratic Party?
• 35:46
  You uh sambo and you are this and you are that.
• 35:50
  Now, every platform that I'm on, I hear so many people say yes, I'm supporting the Republican Party.
• 35:58
  I am a conservative, and these are black people.
• 36:02
  These are black people that I'm seeing expressing themselves that way.
• 36:06
  And that's because so many of us came forward and we said, Listen, it's timeout for believing the Democrats' lies.
• 36:15
  We have been lied to as people for years.
• 36:18
  You know, it started with that project system with Lyndon B.
• 36:22
  Johnson when they started those projects that destroyed the black community, took the fathers out of the home, and then we got a career politician, Joe Biden that's been in office for 47 years, and him and Clinton, they did the one, two, three strikes, you're out.
• 36:40
  Yeah, the crime bill that helped the incarcerate so many black people, and we could go on and on with this, you know.
• 36:47
  Yeah.
• 36:47
  So all of this is contributing to the fact that black people are finally waking up because one thing Trump let us know that the news media was reporting so many, so much uh fake news.
• 37:03
  And they were showing us what they wanted us to believe.
• 37:07
  Yeah, they were telling us things the way they wanted us to see it.
• 37:10
  So we had basically been hoodwinked and bamboozled.
• 37:14
  So, right about now, people opening up their eyes, they are doing their due diligence, they're searching for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
• 37:25
  So hopefully, hopefully, they will continue to do so.
• 37:30
  And we, because as a conservative, we all we believe in God, we believe in God, putting God first, we believe in families, you know, we'd be leaving generational, creating generational wealth and everything else.
• 37:44
  So, you know, how can you not want to be a conservative at the end of the day?
• 37:50
  Yeah.
• 37:50
  Laverne, thank you for the conversation.
• 37:52
  It's been wonderful.
• 37:54
  And I think you just said it perfectly, and I'm not gonna add anything to it because I will ruin what you just said.
• 38:01
  But in your video, you said uh respect and you spelled it out, R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
• 38:07
  Yeah, and there is time for some respect for the American people, not people in boxes, not in that box, this box, all of us together.
• 38:17
  It's time to unite, come together and make a difference in this country.
• 38:22
  And you know, when I when I saw that video, I heard you say that, it reminded me of Aretha Franklin's respect.
• 38:29
  So I'm gonna go into this commercial break with Aretha Franklin because of you.
• 38:34
  What about that?
• 38:35
  Okay, that's wonderful.
• 38:37
  Thank you, Laverne.
• 38:39
  I appreciate you coming on.
• 38:40
  Thank you.
• 38:41
  Thank you so much for inviting me.
• 38:53
  Oh, I asked you.
• 38:55
  Oh, let us back for the chest.
• 38:59

  Just one person, because usually that's how these things work.

• 40:38
  They can make a big difference in your community, your city, or maybe the country, even.
• 40:43
  I'm going to bring into the conversation now.
• 40:45
  Patriot Ann Ann, welcome to the conversation.
• 40:48
  Thank you, Booker.
• 40:49
  Thank you for having me.
• 40:50
  And I want to have a conversation about what you did.
• 40:53
  You had an idea.
• 40:55
  You and I think one other person had a conversation, an idea, and from that became patriotparents.org.
• 41:03
  Talk about the start of that, and then we'll just take the conversation wherever it goes from there.
• 41:08
  All right.
• 41:08
  That sounds fair enough.
• 41:10
  Um, I actually was uh born into a um uh family that really enjoyed uh politics and kept a really strong watch on them.
• 41:19
  I'm sorry.
• 41:20
  I'm so sorry that that that was your life.
• 41:25
  I'm sorry to interrupt you, but go on, go ahead.
• 41:28
  At the time we were too as kids, you know, you're you're rolling your eyes going, oh my goodness.
• 41:32
  I've got I've got one of those around here right now.
• 41:34
  So yeah, I understand.
• 41:36
  You can relate.
• 41:37
  Um we I had a mom that nowadays I think would be referred to as an activist.
• 41:42
  You know, we would drive past the Texaco sign and she see a red star, and right away she talked about communism, and we, you know, she pulled us out of the public schools because she felt that they were indoctrinators, and this was years ago, like decades ago, and put us into a school where it is now worldwide with its homeschooling and nationwide with its curriculum, uh Christian Liberty Academy.
• 42:00
  And nationwide with its curriculum, uh Christian Liberty Academy.
• 42:03
  And when she put us in, we were in a church basement, and I saw a huge change in what we were taught.
• 42:03
  And when she put us in, we were in a church basement, and I saw a huge change in what we were taught.
• 42:09
  We were taught politics in that we talked about loving our country, being conservative and loving God first.
• 42:09
  We were taught politics in that we talked about loving our country, being conservative and loving God first, and it just left a real mark on me.
• 42:16
  And it just left a real mark on me.
• 42:19
  So, you know, you get busy, you get married, you have children, you have businesses, you're working, you're busy, and you kind of get away from the politics a little.
• 42:19
  So, you know, you get busy, you get married, you have children, you have businesses, you're working, you're busy, and you kind of get away from the the politics a little.
• 42:27
  Uh, my first president I voted for was President Reagan.
• 42:27
  Uh, my first president I vote for was President Reagan, and we all loved him and saw what he did.
• 42:32
  But you know, you're not always on top of everything like you should be.
• 42:36
  So in 2018, um, we decided I decided to start an account on Twitter.
• 42:42
  I wanted to support President Trump and just keep up on what was going on.
• 42:46
  And I thought, you know, this will be great.
• 42:48
  We'll connect with other patriots.
• 42:50
  And within a year, I had 120,000 followers.
• 42:52
  I had a nice voice and was able to have a lot of cool people following me who I really liked, true patriots, and I really enjoyed that voice.
• 43:01
  But in 2019, Trump retweeted me.
• 43:05
  He actually quote tweeted me and thanked me because for a tweet that I did.
• 43:09
  And boy, all heck broke loose.
• 43:11
  And I thought, oh, this isn't good, you know, it's not good to get that kind of attention.
• 43:15
  Yeah, I didn't, I didn't ask for this, did I?
• 43:18
  I know that's what you were thinking.
• 43:19
  Yeah.
• 43:20
  Exactly.
• 43:20
  It was most people thought it was great.
• 43:22
  I was panicking because of course it brings out all the trolls.
• 43:25
  So in 2020, I just knew in 2020, I knew that the election was not going to go smoothly because as we all know, he got in very much um as a fluke, a very good fluke, but a fluke in 2016.
• 43:41
  And so in 2020, I just knew they weren't going to let him have this easily.
• 43:46
  And I knew our accounts would be in peril.
• 43:48
  I could see trolls coming out.
• 43:49
  We blocked more people on the account uh after he had retweeted us or quote tweeted us um than we ever did.
• 43:58
  So with that thought in the summer of August, it was of 2020.
• 44:03
  Um, I started thinking about I really wanted to do a website, and I had become really good friends.
• 44:09
  You know, a lot of people do podcasts, a lot of people are very busy putting in their opinions, which is great, you know, especially people that want to stand up for truth.
• 44:16
  And I thought, you know, I'm not sure I want to get on a podcast or anything quite like that.
• 44:20
  I mean, we're retired, we're supposed to be enjoying life, kicking back and with our toes in the sand.
• 44:25
  And uh instead, I thought, you know, a website would be really great because I enjoy writing.
• 44:30
  And uh, I had happened to become a really good friend with a really neat guy uh who is a um legal immigrant from Israel.
• 44:40
  And in my past, I've noticed that the people who love our country, I don't want to say they love it the most, but they get the freedom the most.
• 44:47
  It's the legal immigrants.
• 44:50
  And so I asked, he's the tech guy, and I said, What would you think of this?
• 44:54
  And he thought that'd be great.
• 44:57
  Just to add in, and this is a whole different context.
• 44:59
  So I won't go into it in detail.
• 45:01
  But another thing that took me to this point of wanting to do to get involved in this was I wanted to write a book about how I saw our family who um homeschooled our children, you know, back when we did it was not at all mainstream, a Christian family.
• 45:18
  Uh we've been married forever, you know, we had a couple of kids here, and we thought this will be great, we'll do it this way.
• 45:25
  And we saw our daughter get pulled into something, an organization where she got really indoctrinated, and it was told to us that this organization was about empowering young women, and what we saw was anything but, and they'd really been going rough on some of these young women for 10 years, and nobody stood up and did a thing.
• 45:47
  What year when was that, Ann?
• 45:49
  Was that uh 2020?
• 45:51
  No, that was going back 10 years before.
• 45:54
  So, like I said, I'm not trying to digress, but what in the back of my mind, the whole idea I didn't get on Twitter for that reason, but the whole idea wanted to do a website besides having a voice because I was worried about not having a voice anymore, you know, on Twitter.
• 46:08
  But the main reason, the underlying factor was I saw our family get run through the mill for standing up to an organization.
• 46:17
  Everybody would know this organization, it is world famous, it's been around 100 years, and we saw what it did to our family.
• 46:24
  So indoctrination is not just in the schools, it's in organizations as well.
• 46:29
  So that together, that feeling, and I was working on a book at the time, and that feeling of what happened to us, together with knowing what Trump was going to go through, because we just knew it would not be handed back to him, even if he won legally this election in 2020, really spurred us on to start this website.
• 46:48
  So I asked this friend of mine that I'd become really good friends with, and he said, sure, let's do that.
• 46:53
  And Patriot Parents came about in that way.
• 46:57
  And we really wanted to make sure that we would inform and um inspire and ignite people to want to get involved, to want to be a voice for faith, family, and freedom.
• 47:12
  So this is how Patriot Parents came about.
• 47:14
  That's how it started, and it has grown and grown.
• 47:17
  You have a newsletter that comes out monthly, and I want you to tell people how they can get that information and then talk a little bit about the inspiration, what the you know, what you're trying to do with it.
• 47:30
  You also have resources available so people can go to parent uh patriotparents.org and uh find out more information about all types of things when it comes to your child, protecting your child, educating your child in all of those things.
• 47:45
  Sure.
• 47:46
  Well, uh, anyone who wants to subscribe to our newsletter, we don't just put people in there, they have to subscribe.
• 47:51
  It's free, and you just go to our website, patriotparents.org and hit subscribe.
• 47:56
  We never share the emails or farm them out or sell them or anything.
• 48:00
  We're very protective of people.
• 48:02
  Um, and it's neat because we get a lot of feedback from people through our email in that manner, and so we know what people are interested in.
• 48:09
  But what we did, it was we started realizing a lot of people felt overwhelmed, like I said, raising families working.
• 48:15
  They don't get in on the real news of things.
• 48:17
  So our goal was to put out the news when we do our newsletter, it's kind of our take on what's going on, just food for thought sort of a thing.
• 48:25
  Uh, we do an opening, which we call the rant, which sets the tone for the newsletter, and then we do blogs that will go into specific topics, and sometimes they're even more a little bit um, I don't want to say psychology-based, but day-to-day living base rather than just news, you know.
• 48:41
  But we like to provide um, we have topics, we have resources for people, we have, you know, under resources, movies and documentaries and a patriot library and a place that you can find things for kids, and we do a um stay informed area where there's election integrity and election fraud and COVID-19 things like this.
• 49:00
  19 things like this.
• 49:01
  And um, we have words from the wise, which we have something from you on their booker.
• 49:01
  And um, we have words from the wise, which we have something from you on their booker.
• 49:05
  And uh we we do put Save Your Republic.
• 49:05
  And uh we we do put Savior Republic.
• 49:08
  So, what we like to do, we're not trying to promote ourselves, we're trying to really promote like minded patriots who have the same worldview, not just in our country, but worldview as we do, and we see what's going on, and we want them to have some recognition as well.
• 49:08
  So what we like to do, we're not trying to promote ourselves, we're trying to really promote like-minded patriots who have the same world view, not just in our country, but worldview as we do, and we see what's going on, and we want them to have some recognition as well.
• 49:24
  So we like to work with other people who are trying to do what we are.
• 49:24
  So we like to work with other people who are trying to do what we are.
• 49:28
  Uh, we have a call to action.
• 49:28
  Uh we have a call to action where there's donations and prayers.
• 49:32
  We just uh met up with Roger Stone, had a fundraiser with him um recently, and put him in our newsletter um and call to action to help him out.
• 49:40
  You know, this is for people who've gotten in trouble sometimes or just trying to do the right thing, uh, petitions and phone calls if there's something going on in the government people should know about.
• 49:50
  Uh, we promote heroes, people everyday people we see as heroes like a Mike Lindell and Steve Friend, any whistleblowers that we feel have stood up to be truth tellers.
• 50:00
  We have a section with truth tellers where we put people that we really respect and like Tucker, Matt Gates, Peter Schweitzer, Rajit Gabriel, people who are really out there saying the truth and not afraid to do so because we all need that.
• 50:14
  And then recently, a couple of years back, we decided to do a candidates page, and we've everybody we put on there, and we have not just for Trump and for nationwide candidates, but also for people who are local.
• 50:28
  But we do go through all of them.
• 50:30
  Uh right now we're really heavily supporting Brandon Gill, who's Dunesh Jesus' son-in-law.
• 50:35
  He's just a wonderful young man.
• 50:36
  He stands for everything.
• 50:37
  He just won Tuesday night.
• 50:39
  Yeah.
• 50:39
  Yes, yes.
• 50:40
  And we're just so happy.
• 50:41
  He has, you know, of course, he has Trump's um uh support and and we just we just want to see other really good America First Patriots get in.
• 50:50
  And if there's any way we can help, we do so.
• 50:52
  And of course, we have a little merchandise uh page, but that's mostly um, you know, mugs, backpacks and things, t-shirts.
• 50:58
  Uh, we put Trump's mugshot in one on a t-shirt about retribution and decide that whatever we make from that goes back to his campaign.
• 51:06
  Uh, but we we just like the idea of keeping people in um under going back, not back in time in a negative way, but going back to the fundamental fundamentals of this country was built on.
• 51:22
  Um, and we've gotten so far away from that, and the best ways through our children and our families.
• 51:28
  Um, but we don't just say this is for parents because there's many people down here where we are that are fighting for children, and some of them don't even have children of their own, and they're very effective.
• 51:38
  So, this is what our goal is to get people together and make a difference and be truth tellers and and let other people know what's going on so they can wake up and get on board with what we're trying to do here, which is elect the real next president of the United States, Donald J.
• 51:54
  Trump.
• 51:55
  And you are listening to Patriot Ann.
• 51:58
  The website again is PatriotParents.org.

  Go there and subscribe.
• 52:03
  It doesn't cost anything, it's free and get the monthly newsletter and find out what they are up to.
• 52:09
  You mentioned homeschooling, and it really seems like homeschooling is growing in the country.
• 52:14
  And I I did see some stats on that, but it's amazing how many people are now homeschooling, but it sounds like you did it a long time ago.
• 52:23
  What are you hearing from the homeschooling community?
• 52:27
  Well, it's it's changed quite a bit.
• 52:30
  It's so mainstream now, and they have videos and DVDs, and they have online classrooms where people can get on there and do um actually uh with other people with other kids.
• 52:44
  And it's so changed when we did it, it was so unpopular when we did it, and now it's like I say, become um very mainstream.
• 52:52
  Uh Erica Donalds runs uh homeschool group, and we put her on our um the information of her homeschool groups on our um website to support her and what she's doing, but it's changed so much because when we did it, it was almost looked at as offensive to other people.
• 53:11
  Why don't you want your children with ours?
• 53:13
  Why do you think you're a better teacher?
• 53:15
  You're not a teacher.
• 53:16
  Why this?
• 53:16
  Why that there was a stigma?
• 53:18
  There was a stigma, wasn't there with homeschooling.
• 53:22
  Yes.
• 53:23
  And what we found was unfortunately, I have to say, we were part of a couple homeschool groups where maybe once a week we got together and did teaching of each other's kids.
• 53:33
  And I kind of understand the stigma.
• 53:36
  And the reason I do is there are a lot of women there, and I'll say women, men do homeschool too, but they really weren't teaching kids.
• 53:45
  They'd have a school day like, hey, let's learn about snow.
• 53:48
  Let's go have a snowball fight.
• 53:49
  Yeah.
• 53:50
  Well, no, you can't do that with your children because it's a serious deal.
• 53:53
  And so we fashion a real schoolroom, a bar garage in our home, and we really did it the right way.
• 54:00
  We prayed every morning.
• 54:01
  We said allegiance, pledge allegiance to the flag, and they learned every every bit of curriculum had a Christian face to it.
• 54:09
  And that's what why we did it.
• 54:11
  And nowadays it's so much more accepted, and you don't get that stigma anymore of, oh, your children won't fit in.
• 54:19
  Well, you know, as parents at this point, we should be glad for that that we're raising children that are independently minded instead of just going along and being indoctrinated like she.
• 54:30
  So it's changed.
• 54:31
  Yeah, that's and we also see that Christian and Catholic schools, they are growing as well, which I think is a good sign.
• 54:39
  And you mentioned that you were homeschooled, and that was a long time ago.
• 54:43
  We're about the same age.
• 54:44
  Ann and I speak from time to time, so we know each other outside the world of social media and outside the world of either one of our organizations, which I can tell you as she is speaking and talking about this website.
• 54:58
  There is also a misconception among so many people in the population that believe that if you have a website, you somehow are making money on it.
• 55:07
  And from my experience, and I think from Ann's as well, it is not a money-making proposition most of the time.
• 55:14
  In fact, it drains resources.
• 55:17
  And I know that's that's been my experience, and I know that it's yours too.
• 55:21
  But let's go back a few minutes uh ago in the conversation when you were talking about your mom pulling you out in homeschooling.
• 55:28
  I can say from my experience in public education, because I was thinking about this the other night back in the fifth grade.
• 55:34
  I can remember to the fifth grade that we would actually read a scripture in public school every morning.
• 55:40
  We would do a pledge of allegiance in in court of and and sort of have a conversation about the scripture that we just read in public school.
• 55:49
  And that would that would have been in the 1970s, mid-1970s, and wow, have things changed since then.
• 55:56
  Yes.
• 55:56
  Patriot Ann is who you're listening to.
• 55:58
  And I know she mentioned uh the being down here, and she's in southern Florida.
• 56:00
  Uh the being down here, and she's in southern Florida.
• 56:03
  She goes down there to retire, her and her husband, and you're working more than ever.
• 56:03
  She goes down there to retire, her and her husband, and you're working more than ever.

  Thank you so much, Booker.
• 56:27
  And remember, you were told two thousand years ago that.
• 56:27
  And remember, you were told two thousand years ago that you are the salt of the earth and salt without flavor, it has no value.
• 56:34
  So whatever you do, keep being salty.
• 56:37
  Have a great night.
