  We appreciate it.
• 0:54
  President Trump's giving Iran a 48-hour deadline.
• 1:00
  Um before we get too serious on the show tonight.
• 1:04
  The media saying we're at war.
• 1:07
  I'm at war with my allergies.
• 1:08
  I don't know about you guys, but man, they are really bad this season.
• 1:13
  So uh bear with me.
• 1:14
  If uh I sound like I'm losing my voice or a little hoarse or something, it's because I am these allergies, uh are so bad here in uh central Illinois.
• 1:25
  So be sure to be taking that clariton if you need it, because uh it certainly can kick you in the butt if you're not paying attention.
• 1:35
  But President Trump, back to more serious topic.
• 1:38
  President Trump has given a 48-hour deadline to Iran uh to come to the table and accept our terms.
• 1:47
  Uh we'll definitely see what happens to think.
• 1:52
  Uh many are hoping that Iran comes to their senses and accepts uh a reasonable deal here, deal here.
• 2:01
  And uh things can keep moving in a positive direction.
• 2:05
  Uh I don't think President Trump is playing along with these guys.
• 2:08
  Uh if they do not strike a deal, it's gonna be very bad for them.
• 2:13
  Um Trump has said as much.
• 2:15
  So I think it would be in Iran's best interest uh to agree with what President Trump in the United States is proposing.
• 2:25
  Rob, how are you doing tonight?
• 2:26
  And what do you make of the 48-hour timeline President Trump has given uh Iran leadership?
• 2:34
  Well, first of all, Andrew, I want to thank all of our listeners for tuning in tonight because we know that they could always go somewhere else uh at this time, but they'd chosen to listen to us.
• 2:45
  I'm gonna echo something that you said about allergies.
• 2:48
  Uh, viewers might notice that I too am struggling with my voice, so it might go in and out.
• 2:55
  Fell as if though it's being strained, I might come down with a case of laryngitis.
• 3:00
  This just happened all at once.
• 3:02
  Last week here in New York City, the weather was seasonably uh pleasant, but this week, uh as of this weekend, it started getting cold.
• 3:12
  We had a rain, and now it's cold again, not cold coal, but it is chilly, and I don't know if that's having an impact on my voice.
• 3:19
  There's a lot of pollen in the air that a lot of people have been talking about.
• 3:23
  So, like you, I'm also uh you know, struggling here, and I think when we get done, I'm gonna go and grab uh some warm water with lemon.
• 3:33
  I think they say that's really good.
• 3:34
  Warm water and lemon.
• 3:35
  Although I find that kind of strange because lemon has like an acidic like flavor to it, and when it gets in your throat, it becomes all itchy.
• 3:43
  But nevertheless, I'm gonna try something.
• 3:45
  I might pop a throat lozenger in my mouth if I find myself straining.
• 3:50
  Uh, and you guys can barely hear me because my voice probably saw a cordil like this.
• 3:54
  I hope I'd be starting whispering, but right now it's okay.
• 3:59
  Now, to address what you're talking about, the 48 hours that Trump has given the Iranians.
• 4:06
  Uh, to me, it seems like a deal or no deal, and then which would spell doomsday in 48 hours.
• 4:15
  Last week, everyone was cheering this president on in his administration because they came out and they said that we're gonna control the straight of Hormuz.
• 4:23
  Iran, you're not going to.
• 4:24
  Of course, it took Iran by surprise, and the markets went up, all prices fell down.
• 4:29
  But then you have this group in Iran, and Heather and I, we spoke about this on last night.
• 4:34
  The military arm of Iran, the IRCG, I think they are that's what they call themselves, the IRCG, and then you have this administration or new regime, who are who's I think they're doing the negotiations with Jarek Kushner, JD Bats, yeah, the IRGC.
• 4:57
  And then there's one other guy who's doing uh negotiating with them also, and I thought I had written his name down.
• 5:04
  He's over the military arm, and I think he's the one who's probably calling the shots.
• 5:11
  Let me see.
• 5:12
  I thought I had this name here.
• 5:13
  I guess not.
• 5:14
  He's calling the shots, and he's confusing everyone.
• 5:16
  What let me just say this.
• 5:18
  This is a label land.
• 5:20
  These are a bunch of radicals, the Iranians, and they want to say face.
• 5:27
  They're doing everything possible to make it seem as if though they're in control, and the guy who's over the IRGC is Ahmad Bahadi.
• 5:37
  Might be pre mispronouncing the name, but you get the drift.
• 5:41
  The gist.
• 5:42
  They're trying to save face, trying to make it seem as if though they're in control.
• 5:45
  And as I said to Heather last night, I wouldn't all be surprised if there's someone in our camp internally who's telling them.
• 5:52
  You know, you don't you can stand up against this radical regime of Donald Trump.
• 5:56
  You don't have to listen to him.
• 5:57
  You know, pretty soon he'll lose the midterms and we'll impeach him and we'll give you guys your money.
• 6:03
  I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's an emissary embedded within our country that's telling them this.
• 6:08
  Now, some of you probably say, oh gosh, how could you think that about your country very easily?
• 6:12
  You look at what John Kerry did when Trump was in office and Trump cut off the Obama spigot.
• 6:19
  He flew to Iran and said, Don't worry, he won't be in office in 2020.
• 6:23
  And he didn't tell them they were going to cheat, which they did, but he did tell them, don't worry.
• 6:27
  Won't be in office much longer.
• 6:29
  Then we're gonna give you back your money.
• 6:30
  And I am surprised that charges have not been brought up against him.
• 6:34
  Because in my opinion, Andrew, that's treason.
• 6:36
  He committed a treasonous act.
• 6:38
  It is on record that he went and he told them this.
• 6:40
  And lo and behold, they stole the election, and as soon as Biden walked back into the office, walked back into office.
• 6:47
  What did he do?
• 6:48
  He turned the money spigot back on.
• 6:50
  What did Iran do?
• 6:51
  They continued to fund terrorist activity in Syria and Lebanon.
• 6:55
  They funded Hamas.
• 6:56
  Remember October 7th, when Hamas went in and slaughtered, slaughtered Jewish individuals.
• 7:00
  Slaughtered, slaughtered Jewish individuals, slaughtered them.
• 7:06
  Slaughtered them.
• 7:07
  And they thought nothing of it.
• 7:07
  And they thought nothing of it.
• 7:09
  We have a gentleman right here, uh uh Hassan Piker, who's praising that.
• 7:09
  We have a gentleman right here, uh Hassan Piker, who's praising that.
• 7:15
  Praising us saying, Oh, that was the best thing ever.
• 7:15
  Praising it saying, oh, that was the best thing ever.
• 7:19
  These are the people that we're trying to negotiate with.
• 7:19
  These are the people that we're trying to negotiate with.
• 7:21
  So this guy who's over the IRGC, Ahmad Valhadi, he's the one who's probably saying, oh, okay, you all can control it.
• 7:22
  So this guy who's over the IRGC, Ahmad Valhadi, he's the one who's probably saying, Oh, okay, you all can control it.
• 7:28
  No, you're not gonna control it.
• 7:29
  No, you're not going to control it.
• 7:29
  We're controlling the straight up Hermoose.
• 7:31
  Here's my thing.
• 7:32
  I know that the Trump administration, they're already mining the straight up Her Moose, trying to make certain that there are no booby traps.
• 7:39
  After 48 hours, hey, rain down hell on them.
• 7:46
  Because I'm tired of this.
• 7:47
  We've been saying I've been saying, and rightfully so, for four decades, we've been dealing with these mangy radical animals.
• 7:55
  I'm tired of it.
• 7:57
  Last week they persecuted, executed, rather.
• 8:01
  What to say 16,000 Iranians?
• 8:04
  Because they said they were uh speaking out against the government.
• 8:06
  At that point, Israel should have gone in and rained down holy hell on them.
• 8:11
  I'm tired of these people.
• 8:13
  I I'm I'm really I have no uh no sympathy for them.
• 8:20
  They don't treasure life, they don't treasure their own life, so why should we get rid of them?
• 8:26
  Get rid of these mangy dogs, just completely obliterate them, be done with them, and then move on.
• 8:32
  And we take the trade of her moose, we control it, we control the ore prices.
• 8:36
  If Europeans don't like it, screw them.
• 8:38
  Who cares?
• 8:39
  We're giving them every opportunity to come in and take it.
• 8:44
  The same with China.
• 8:45
  I'm sure that China is putting some pressure on them, but at some point, if they're not getting the message, we can't keep dilly dattling backwards and forward with them.
• 8:54
  The war is over.
• 8:56
  Now we just need to take the dustpan and take out the trash.
• 8:59
  And if we have to take this guy out, and I'm sure they're looking for him right now, and he probably knows it, so he's hiding.
• 9:07
  Change the geographical setup of the of the mountains, bomb them to Waizu, and then let's come home because I'm tired of the negotiations.
• 9:17
  I know that Trump, as he said, you know, you go in high, you you push, you read the art of the deal, he says all this in the art of the deal, but now is the time that I think he just needs to just go in after the 48 hours to say, look, we've given you guys since March, and you still haven't learned the lesson.
• 9:34
  I know that you're listening to our liberal media.
• 9:38
  I know that you think that they're gonna come out and they're gonna say all this propaganda stuff, and you think that it makes you feel good, but our patients have grown weary.
• 9:46
  We're tired.
• 9:49
  Okay, it's either a deal or no deal, and then let's look at doomsday.
• 9:54
  And all those people who are clutching their pearls saying, oh, Trump is gonna get rid of all the Iranians, he's gonna wipe their civilization off the face of the map.
• 10:02
  Oh, and so what if he does it?
• 10:09
  These guys are terrorists, they are terrorists, they don't mean anyone any good.
• 10:18
  They're natural born terrorists.
• 10:21
  We have done everything possible to try and work with them.
• 10:25
  And it's been at no end.
• 10:28
  I mean, at some point, we've just got to say it's that this is it, it's over.
• 10:33
  This is it.
• 10:36
  Even the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has called these individuals out as to who they are.
• 10:45
  And he said it is a modern day Hitler.
• 10:47
  They called that, say that Trump is, but you have a Gulf state that's saying modern day Hitler.
• 10:56
  They can't get a nuke.
• 10:57
  What do they need it for?
• 10:59
  The media is saying nothing about that.
• 11:01
  They won't even bring that, they won't bring up the fact that this guy, the crown prince is saying this.
• 11:06
  This is not Israel, this is the crown prince.
• 11:09
  You should give his word even more credence than Israel.
• 11:12
  And you know what?
• 11:15
  We brought the receipts last night, and I'm gonna bring the receipts again tonight, because people need to hear this.
• 11:22
  This is not what the media wants you to hear.
• 11:25
  And you know what else?
• 11:27
  Nora O'Donnell from CBS is interviewing this guy, and he tells her.
• 11:33
  These guys are no good.
• 11:35
  Run the tape.
• 11:37
  You called the Ayatollah, Khamani, the new Hitler of the Middle East.
• 11:43
  Absolutely.
• 11:44
  Why?
• 11:46
  You need to be able to do that.
• 11:46
  Because he wants to expand.
• 11:48
  He wants to create his own project in the Middle East, very much like Hitler wanted to expand at the time.
• 11:53
  Many countries around the world and in Europe did not realize how dangerous Hitler was until what happened happened.
• 12:00
  I don't want to see the same events happening in the Middle East.
• 12:03
  Does Saudi Arabia need nuclear weapons to counter Iran?
• 12:06
  Sir, Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb.
• 12:11
  But without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible.
• 12:16
  There you have it.
• 12:18
  That's what's at risk.
• 12:20
  The only thing I would say to the Prince is you need to put some stake in the salsa.
• 12:24
  Get your military, get the other Gulf states, and tell them we're gonna march in as well.
• 12:29
  Because everyone is tired of Iran.
• 12:32
  It's like the red-headed stepchild.
• 12:34
  We're tired of them.
• 12:35
  We have given them every opportunity to come to the table.
• 12:40
  They don't want to come to the table.
• 12:43
  They enjoy chaos.
• 12:45
  You have Israel and Lebanon trying to ink a peace deal after fighting for 80 years.
• 12:52
  Iran doesn't like this.
• 12:54
  They don't want it.
• 12:56
  They told us this weekend, oh, we're gonna sign a deal, and then oh no, the United States are being unreasonable.
• 13:01
  And what does the media do?
• 13:02
  Oh, they're being the United States were being unreasonable.
• 13:04
  How are we being unreasonable by saying we want them to disarm, meaning to get rid of the Iranian?
• 13:11
  How are we being unreasonable?
• 13:13
  Well, you have the Crown Prince Hussein, well, if they get it, we're gonna get it.
• 13:18
  Well, well, why would they want it?
• 13:19
  Because they know what Iran is gonna do to terrorize the entire Gulf state.
• 13:25
  Remember, three weeks ago, they shot a missile at Great Britain just to show them look, we can reach you.
• 13:34
  And what does Starmer say?
• 13:36
  Well, you know, we're gonna look the other way.
• 13:38
  Okay, look the other way.
• 13:40
  Stay on the sidelines.
• 13:41
  And if they strike you, don't expect us to come and help.
• 13:45
  Don't call on NATO because I know that's what they'll do.
• 13:49
  Well, if you strike one, you strike all of us.
• 13:51
  We need for you to come.
• 13:52
  No, help yourself.
• 13:55
  Because you seem to not understand what's happening here.
• 13:58
  You want the oil, but you don't want to fight for it.
• 14:00
  But you don't want to fight for it.
• 14:01
  You want us to fight for it.
• 14:01
  You want us to fight for it.
• 14:02
  And then once we've gotten it, then you want to waltz in and say, oh, look at what we did.
• 14:02
  And then once we've gotten it, then you want to waltz in and say, oh, look at what we did.
• 14:06
  Nope.
• 14:06
  No, deal or no deal.
• 14:07
  Deal or no deal.
• 14:09
  And if there is no deal, it's doomsday.
• 14:09
  And if there is no deal, it's doomsday.
• 14:12
  48 hours.
• 14:12
  48 hours.
• 14:15
  Irad has had ever since March to make a decision.
• 14:15
  Iran has had ever since March to make a decision to decide what they're going to do, how they're going to move forward.
• 14:19
  To decide what they're going to do, how they're going to move forward.
• 14:25
  But they haven't taken advantage of it.
• 14:25
  But they haven't taken advantage of it.
• 14:28
  They keep going backwards and forward.
• 14:28
  They keep going backwards and forward.
• 14:29
  Okay.
• 14:29
  Okay, we're gonna do a deal.
• 14:30
  Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 14:31
  Right.
• 14:32
  That's right.
• 14:32
  And then they go back to their little mud huts or their not mud husband caves in the mountains.
• 14:38
  And say, Well, wait, maybe we can do this.
• 14:41
  You don't control anything, you don't have any of the cards, you don't have a military.
• 14:46
  All we have to do is just say you're not gonna move out of the straight of hormouths, which is what we did with one of their tankers, and we put a hole in it.
• 14:55
  And then when ships do start to go through, what do they do?
• 14:58
  They try to come out and hold them hostage, as what they did with the Indian ship that was coming through.
• 15:06
  They're not dealing fairly.
• 15:11
  They want everyone to think they are, so that our media will come out and say, Oh, what they're doing their best.
• 15:16
  No, you should be calling them out.
• 15:18
  You should say, Iran, it's over.
• 15:22
  Trump is going to blow you to waizu.
• 15:25
  He's already decimated your military.
• 15:28
  Now he's coming for you.
• 15:30
  And I wouldn't at all be surprised, Andrew.
• 15:32
  If they're already planning, they already have their targets, they know where this guy is.
• 15:39
  And when Trump hits the signal, holy hill.
• 15:43
  I hope all the Democrats are watching this.
• 15:45
  I hope all the Democrats see what's going on.
• 15:47
  But no, they're too busy trying to say that Iran's gonna win.
• 15:50
  Iran, oh, Iran, they're standing up, they're standing up, giving them false hope.
• 15:55
  This could already be over if they were to stop giving them false hope.
• 16:00
  The only Democrat who understands and sees this for what it is, is John Fetterman.
• 16:06
  The most unlikely person.
• 16:10
  John Fetterman.
• 16:12
  And now, of course, they don't like him.
• 16:14
  But let's just play John Fetterman, run the tape.
• 16:17
  Democrat has supported every single president in those 47 years of effectively dealt with the Iranian nuclear problem and the danger.
• 16:28
  There you have it.
• 16:30
  The only one.
• 16:31
  All the other Democrats, they're hoping that we fail.
• 16:36
  They don't want us to succeed.
• 16:39
  Remember John Kerry.
• 16:40
  John Kerry even came out and said, Wow, what the president is doing is unbelievable.
• 16:45
  What he is doing by controlling the straight harmoots.
• 16:49
  You have to give him credit.
• 16:51
  Again, we ran the tape last night, and we're gonna play the tape again because I want people to understand what we're up against.
• 16:59
  Run the tape of John Kerry.
• 17:02
  Surprise you all by saying that it is possible that the administration's decision to blockade.
• 17:10
  Uh specifically the ports and access to the coastline, etc.
• 17:15
  Uh that can be uh a leverage point.
• 17:18
  There you have it.
• 17:20
  So what is Iranian the Iranians waiting for?
• 17:24
  John Kerry was their biggest supporter.
• 17:26
  And now he's saying what Trump is doing, huh?
• 17:29
  Game point.
• 17:31
  Andrew, I think it's time for them to come to the table or face extension within 48 hours.
• 17:40
  Yes, the world waits.
• 17:42
  We will see what happens.
• 17:44
  Uh, what the regime decides they want their fate to be.

• 20:58
  We appreciate you guys tuning in.
• 21:00
  And I hope you guys are all having a wonderful night at start to your week.
• 21:04
  Uh night, uh start to your week.
• 21:07
  Uh almost at the midweek hump day, uh, which is certainly an accomplishment for many of us.
• 21:08
  Almost at the midweek hump day.
• 21:10
  Which is certainly an accomplishment for many of us.
• 21:14
  Uh continuing our discussion tonight about this ongoing conflict in Iran 48 hours for the uh Iranian regime to make a decision.
• 21:15
  Continuing our discussion tonight about this ongoing conflict in Iran 48 hours for the Iranian regime to make a decision.
• 21:26
  President Trump, as Rob mentioned in the first half, stop playing around.
• 21:26
  President Trump, as Rob mentioned in the first half, stop playing around with these guys.
• 21:31
  They better come to the table.
• 21:34
  They keep kind of saying one thing to President Trump and his administration.
• 21:38
  And then they'll say something completely different to their media.
• 21:43
  I understand they want to save face, but it's hard to tell if these guys are serious negotiators, because according to the Trump administration, they'll tell them one thing, and then they'll tell their own media something completely separate.
• 21:59
  So who knows who they're telling the truth to, Rob.
• 22:04
  You're right.
• 22:05
  I think that this uh this regime, as I said, buttressed by the fake news media, having them to think that they're in control.
• 22:18
  And they just simply aren't.
• 22:21
  I mean, they have nothing on their side other than fear and propaganda.
• 22:25
  That's what they're ruling the day with.
• 22:29
  They say they're gonna do this, and then they say that they're not going to.
• 22:32
  Right up right up until we get to the point that everything is going to be quiet.
• 22:35
  They come back, oh no, no, no.
• 22:37
  Oh, yeah, we want to do a retirement.
• 22:39
  You know, and Pakistan has every intention of wanting this to be over with because they know that Iran could launch a missile at them.
• 22:50
  They don't want that.
• 22:52
  So they're trying to solve this and get these guys to the table, just like everyone else.
• 22:59
  No, usually you would think they would say, Oh, okay, let them go ahead and do what they want to do, and we don't care.
• 23:04
  But it's like, no, no, we need to try to resolve this.
• 23:08
  We need to resolve it.
• 23:10
  Because what if they were to hit us or even hit India and then blame us for it, and then India is at war with Pakistan.
• 23:18
  Because Pakistan and India at one point, they were connected.
• 23:21
  It's the same uh piece of land.
• 23:24
  Different groups of people.
• 23:25
  Well, actually the same people, just different ideology.
• 23:29
  It's controlled by the British.
• 23:31
  So you have all this that's going on.
• 23:33
  So they have every dog in the game to want this to end.
• 23:40
  And out of all the other states that are there, Iran is standing alone by itself.
• 23:48
  And the one thing that they think they have is the straight up Hormouths.
• 23:53
  Which they we can control the price of oil, we can do this, we can do that.
• 23:57
  And as I said before, the United States has a lot of oil here in our country.
• 24:03
  But as I was mentioning to Andrew, I came up on this piece that our oil refineries aren't geared toward or built to refine the oil that we have, which is pretty much already refined.
• 24:19
  Our machinery is geared toward the crude, the dirty oil that you have to clean out.
• 24:23
  So I don't know why we won't update our refineries.
• 24:27
  Yes, it might cost a lot of money, but I would rather it cost a lot of money than having to depend on another country sending us their crude dirty oil, and then we have to refine it.
• 24:39
  You think of all the oil mob fields refineries that we have in Texas.
• 24:44
  Yes, it would be expensive, but it's worth it.
• 24:48
  Talking about putting America first, yeah, rebuild all of our oil refineries so that we could use a majority of the oil that we have, as opposed to having people to bring their oil here, then we have to refine it, then we send it back out.
• 25:00
  No, let's stop it.
• 25:03
  Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil, but the oil that we have is more refined, it's cleaner oil, which is what we should use.
• 25:13
  And then we can completely take Iran out of the picture.
• 25:19
  Remove them completely.
• 25:22
  Because it's backwards and forward.
• 25:24
  I mean, from my account, they should have already been wiped off the map when Trump came out on Easter Sunday and said, you know, the end of the civilization.
• 25:34
  And it put everyone in a tidzie, like, oh my god, no, no.
• 25:37
  I'm like, he's not gonna kill them, although I wish he would just wipe them off and be done with them.
• 25:42
  It's like, come on.
• 25:44
  What are they waiting for?
• 25:45
  You don't have a leg.
• 25:46
  But they, as Andrew said, they want to safe face because they're afraid that if we don't, someone from within the regime is gonna kill us.
• 25:54
  Well, then let's just get rid of those people.
• 25:56
  We've already got rid of a lot of their the top uh radicals at the top.
• 26:01
  Let's go down and start going down farther.
• 26:03
  And they're probably hiding in the caves in the mountainous regions in Iran.
• 26:08
  Like I said, change the topographical makeup of the region.
• 26:12
  Do what we need to do.
• 26:15
  So that we can just put this to bed, put a bow tie on it and say, This is it, we're moving forward.
• 26:21
  And the other thing about the media and Democrats is I played to you, uh John Fetterman saying that he agrees with the president.
• 26:29
  He's probably one of the only Democrats.
• 26:30
  The issue with the Democrats is that they want to have this victory.
• 26:35
  Because if you go back and you look at every president since Clinton, they all said that Iran needs to go, we need to do this to Iran.
• 26:41
  I played the clips with Barack Obama saying they can't get a nuclear weapon, Hillary Clinton saying that, hey, day one, I'm gonna do this to Iran.
• 26:48
  And then all at once, because they're not there, they don't want it to happen, because they want that victory lap.
• 26:55
  They want to be able to run the victory lap.
• 26:57
  Barack Obama thought he could do it by bribing them by giving the money.
• 27:00
  It didn't work.
• 27:01
  They continue to find terrorist activity.
• 27:03
  A majority of the terrorist activity in their funding comes from Iran.
• 27:08
  Joe Biden thought he could do it.
• 27:10
  When he came back and he opened up the spigot, and what did they do?
• 27:13
  They gave Hamas money, and what did Hamas do?
• 27:16
  They attacked Israel.
• 27:18
  So there's no appeasing this group.
• 27:20
  They'll say one thing and they'll do another.
• 27:22
  And then the media always wants to say, Andrew, oh, the Trump is lying, he's lying.
• 27:26
  Lying.
• 27:27
  You want to be sure you're a liar?
• 27:29
  You open up the dictionary and you'll see Iran.
• 27:32
  They've been lying for the past 47 years, almost 50 years, as what their intentions are.
• 27:38
  And we're supposed to believe them.
• 27:40
  I was listening to John Brennan the other day who was on MS now, formerly known as PMSNBC.
• 27:48
  Or uh DNC MSNBC.
• 27:50
  And he was saying, well, you know, the Iranians, they they know that we can't trust Trump because Trump lies all the time.
• 27:56
  Trump is just a lie, liar light.
• 27:58
  Well, dude, from what I'm hearing, you better be careful.
• 28:00
  You better be careful.
• 28:01
  Because I'm hearing that the footsteps of inevitability are fast approaching you.
• 28:01
  Because I'm hearing that the footsteps of inevitability are fast approaching you.
• 28:05
  And this time it's going to be solid.
• 28:05
  And this time it's going to be solid.
• 28:08
  We have someone who's looking at this that's going to be solid.
• 28:08
  We have someone who's looking at this as going to be solid.
• 28:13
  So you might want to just take it down in a peg or two.
• 28:13
  So you might want to just take it down in a peg or two.
• 28:15
  But he won't.
• 28:16
  But he won't.
• 28:17
  Because he too is probably looking at the midterms and thinking if we could just win the midterms and we can impeach Trump.
• 28:17
  Because he too is probably looking at the midterms and thinking, if we could just win the midterms and we can impeach Trump, well, that's already a given.
• 28:22
  Well, that's already a given.
• 28:23
  You guys are going to do that.
• 28:23
  You guys are going to do that.
• 28:25
  I wish the American people would wake up to it and say, wait a minute.
• 28:25
  I wish the American people would wake up to it and say, wait a minute.
• 28:28
  But that's all you guys are produced.
• 28:28
  But that's all you guys ever do.
• 28:30
  You do nothing else.
• 28:31
  You still have the government shut down, partial shutdown, because you don't like ice.
• 28:38
  Remember when Biden was in office and they didn't like the police, defund the police.
• 28:43
  Not today, of course, they swear they never said it.
• 28:46
  But they said it, and we saw how crime just like exploded.
• 28:51
  Oh, we never said that.
• 28:53
  We never said, oh, yes, you did.
• 28:54
  The same way you're saying now, defund ICE.
• 29:00
  Oh, we're gonna, we don't like ICE, we don't like what ICE is doing.
• 29:02
  Now remember, when Barack Obama was in office, he deported more illegals than any other president.
• 29:10
  The point is is that when he did it, and they also went around and they rounded up illegal immigrants.
• 29:17
  And in some cases, they got the wrong people.
• 29:21
  And what did Barack Obama's aide say who was heading this?
• 29:25
  She said, Oh, yeah, sometimes that will happen.
• 29:27
  We won't make mistakes, but we'll clean it up and we move on.
• 29:32
  And the media accepted it.
• 29:35
  But under Trump, we're not gonna accept that.
• 29:37
  It has to be perfect.
• 29:38
  And what makes it perfect is that we defund ice.
• 29:41
  We don't want ice.
• 29:42
  We don't want them here at all.
• 29:44
  We want people just to come across our borders and do whatever they want to do.
• 29:48
  And this year alone, look at all the deaths that these illegals have committed.
• 29:52
  The bloodshed.
• 29:53
  We've done a show about that.
• 29:54
  The bloodshed of Americans on our soil.
• 29:56
  It should never be that way.
• 29:58
  It should never be that way.
• 30:00
  But it is, because the media refuses to call it out.
• 30:04
  They like all of these issues.
• 30:07
  Really?
• 30:09
  And that's what's happening in Iran.
• 30:11
  That's the reason why Iran think keeps thinking, oh, we can live another day.
• 30:15
  Now imagine how Trump said we're going to end their civilization, and everybody said, Oh, that's good because we're tired of it.
• 30:20
  Iran would have immediately said, Oh, let's give it up.
• 30:25
  But they won't.
• 30:25
  We've just this past weekend.
• 30:27
  Marco Rubio arrested an Iranian woman who's here.
• 30:33
  Think she's a legal resident for trying to, I think, trade weapons and send them to Iran.
• 30:43
  And then before then, they arrested one of the generals' nieces who was here.
• 30:49
  And then before then, they arrested some of their cousins who were here teaching on college campuses and probably spreading radicalism.
• 31:01
  Hatred.
• 31:02
  This is here in our borders.
• 31:05
  And it was probably encouraged at these college campuses.
• 31:09
  Oh, absolutely.
• 31:11
  We saw during 2023 and 2024 college campuses, how they were shouting from the river to the sea.
• 31:18
  And of course, these college students didn't know what it what it meant.
• 31:21
  You had gays for the Pac for Pack for Palestines and gays for Hamas.
• 31:25
  I'm like, are you serious?
• 31:27
  The height of stupidity.
• 31:29
  These folks not knowing anything.
• 31:33
  But it sounded good, just like Black Lives Matter.
• 31:36
  Oh, it sounds good.
• 31:37
  It sounds groovy, it sounds cool.
• 31:39
  So let's march around and talk about Black Lives Latter.
• 31:41
  Black lives matter, Black Lives, let's chant it.
• 31:42
  It sounds great.
• 31:44
  And then this past weekend, Andrew, a black man killed eight children.
• 31:49
  Seven were his own, and wounded their mother and another cousin.
• 31:55
  Where's Black Lives Matter?
• 31:56
  Heather and I, we spoke about this last night.
• 31:58
  Where is the outrage?
• 31:59
  Where's the outrage of all the Democrats?
• 32:02
  He had a gun.
• 32:03
  Where are the gun advocates?
• 32:04
  Why aren't they saying take away the guns?
• 32:08
  I mean, I don't get it.
• 32:11
  Well, actually, I do get it.
• 32:14
  The person wasn't white.
• 32:16
  He was the white boogeyman.
• 32:18
  He was a Democrat.
• 32:22
  And he attacked blacks.
• 32:26
  So a black-owned black crime, it doesn't matter.
• 32:28
  Oh, that doesn't exist.
• 32:30
  Although it does exist like 24-7 in Chicago.
• 32:35
  Where Brandon Johnson and Governor Spisker, they don't want the National Guards here to quell the violence, and neither do the judges.
• 32:43
  Oh, leave our crime alone.
• 32:44
  We don't want it here.
• 32:46
  We have doomsday every day.
• 32:48
  We don't want that stuff here.
• 32:52
  And the media goes along with them.
• 32:54
  Quiet as it's kept.
• 32:55
  Don't want to say anything about it.
• 32:58
  Don't touch our guns now because a black man used those guns to kill another black kill black babies.
• 33:04
  And then they want to shout to the rooftop.
• 33:06
  The KKK, Joey Reed.
• 33:08
  Where is Joey Reed?
• 33:10
  Who's always talking about the injustices of black people?
• 33:13
  Completely quiet.
• 33:14
  Al Sharpton, quiet.
• 33:16
  Roland Martin, quiet.
• 33:19
  Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, oh, they're busy trying to be influencers, show social media influencers.
• 33:25
  Barack Obama is busy trying to pal around with mandami and early childhood education.
• 33:31
  And I keep warning you guys, I'm telling you, that is a death sentence.
• 33:35
  The moment they get access to your babes at a young age, they will indoctrinate them.
• 33:39
  They will tell the boys that they're little girls and little girls, that they're boys, don't tell them to change, try to change their gender, for the most part, mutilate your gender, because this is what they like.
• 33:50
  You don't like the institution of family, it's bad.
• 33:53
  Meanwhile, we want gay couples to adopt children.
• 33:56
  We want these women, white women to have babies and then hand them over to gay couples because they're the best families.
• 34:02
  And then we're gonna all smile about it.
• 34:03
  And then we can sit down and turn on Netflix and then they'll have a show about it.
• 34:06
  HBO have a show about it, half of the characters are gay and trans.
• 34:10
  All the families consist of gay and trans, and they're the ideal family, while the man and woman, the rightful family, they're seen as being disoriented and uh dysfunctional.
• 34:24
  How can you, as a Christian, vote for Democrats?
• 34:30
  How can anyone vote for a Democrat and say they're Christians?
• 34:34
  When their beliefs go completely, it's completely against your teachings.
• 34:39
  Oh, but they're trying to water your teachers down now and say, oh, well, that's not what the Bible meant.
• 34:43
  Man wrote that.
• 34:44
  A white man wrote that, so we can't believe that.
• 34:47
  Abortion on demand and all this other stuff.
• 34:49
  Oh, God made mistakes.
• 34:51
  You can change your gender, you can do this, and a man can have a baby.
• 34:55
  Just completely just destroyed it.
• 34:58
  And that's the reason why there's chaos in society right now.
• 35:00
  Society right now.
• 35:02
  Because no one wants to stand up and call it out.
• 35:02
  Because no one wants to stand up and call it out.
• 35:04
  Because when you do stand up and call it out, you're silenced.
• 35:04
  Because when you do stand up and call it out, you're silenced.
• 35:07
  I read somewhere that Adam Sandler, the comedian, he said that I'm enough of this trans stuff.
• 35:07
  I read somewhere that Adam Sandler, the comedian, he said that I'm enough of this trans stuff.
• 35:11
  I'm gonna raise my kids away from all that stuff.
• 35:11
  I'm gonna raise my kids away from all that stuff.
• 35:12
  And see, when you say that, that's a death sentence.
• 35:12
  And see, when you say that, that's a death sentence.
• 35:15
  Why can't he do it?
• 35:15
  Why can't he do it?
• 35:17
  That's his family.
• 35:17
  That's his family.
• 35:19
  Oh, well, you're you're you're saying something that's wrong.
• 35:19
  Oh, well, you're you're you're saying something that's wrong.
• 35:22
  Really?
• 35:22
  Really?
• 35:23
  No, he's not.
• 35:23
  No, he's not.
• 35:24
  Just like the the other day when the Pope and Trump had words.
• 35:24
  Just like the the other day when the Pope and Trump had words.
• 35:30
  Like, Pope, stay in your lane.
• 35:33
  Has the Pope come out and denounce the Lebanese?
• 35:38
  I think it says Bala for desecrating a what do you want to how do I want to say this?
• 35:46
  A uh depiction of Christ on the cross.
• 35:49
  Now to me, it's just a uh a caricature.
• 35:52
  I I because I don't worship that idol.
• 35:54
  It doesn't bother me.
• 35:56
  But it's the symbol of it.
• 35:58
  And they knew what they were doing.
• 36:00
  Because if you were to get Muhammad, they say this is Muhammad and show Hammamet having sex with a goat, Muslims would be offended.
• 36:09
  The Democrats would definitely they would be more offended than Muslims.
• 36:14
  But when you desecrate a statue of the Christ on the cross, that's okay.
• 36:21
  We're supposed to accept that.
• 36:23
  Just move along.
• 36:25
  What do you mean we're supposed to accept it?
• 36:28
  That's an affront.
• 36:30
  But no one has come out to denounce it.
• 36:33
  Not a one.
• 36:35
  Not the Israelis have.
• 36:36
  But these so-called democrats who always want to put Christians on blast when they think that, oh, you're not living up to your faith.
• 36:43
  Crickets.
• 36:45
  Nothing at all.
• 36:47
  Why is that?
• 36:50
  The media?
• 36:51
  Out of sight, out of mind.
• 36:52
  I don't even want to talk about it.
• 36:55
  It's like take that.
• 36:56
  You guys should be able to take that because you're the big kids.
• 36:59
  You're the big kids on campus.
• 37:01
  You know, the big kid on campus must be able to take all the hits and the shots.
• 37:05
  Oh, the little kid can't.
• 37:07
  So whenever something goes wrong, let the big kid, let's hit the big kid.
• 37:10
  He can take it.
• 37:11
  He can take it.
• 37:11
  He's okay.
• 37:12
  He can take it.
• 37:15
  Not a word.
• 37:17
  And that's the reason why a random is getting away with so much.
• 37:20
  Because the media won't call him out.
• 37:22
  Because to them, oh, they're standing up to the big bag United States.
• 37:25
  They're standing up to Donald Trump.
• 37:28
  And we kind of we secretly want them to win.
• 37:32
  As opposed to saying your days are over.
• 37:35
  They're numbered.
• 37:37
  48 hours.
• 37:39
  You could be kissing your civilization goodbye.
• 37:43
  What are you waiting on?
• 37:45
  It's up.
• 37:46
  You snoozed, you losed.
• 37:50
  You lose.
• 37:53
  Nope.
• 37:55
  Don't want to call them out.
• 37:57
  They want them to keep doing what they're doing.
• 38:00
  Keep going down that line, that trajectory to make it seem as if though, oh, they're the big guys.
• 38:05
  They're the big guys.
• 38:06
  They're standing up to Donald Trump.
• 38:09
  No, they're being a pain in the butt.
• 38:12
  As far as I'm concerned, Andrew.
• 38:14
  48 hours.
• 38:15
  Doomsday can't get here fast enough.
• 38:19
  See ya later.
• 38:20
  And you won't be going to see 18,000 birds or 18 versions of whatever.
• 38:24
  And you would think Democrats would be mad about that because look at that's misogynistic.
• 38:28
  But they've said nothing about it.
• 38:30
  I guess they want these guys to go, Andrew, and meet those virgins.
• 38:36
  Yeah, we'll see what happens.
• 38:38
  President Trump seems pretty serious.
• 38:40
  I can see Iran trying to kick the can down the road.
• 38:44
  Not exactly agreeing to the terms, but acting like they're close to agreeing to the terms.
• 38:50
  And we'll see what Trump does if that is the case and that happens.
• 38:55
  Um it's gonna tell us a lot about what's gonna happen with the future of this conflict, I think, by the end of the week and the fate of Iran.

  And I have managed to stay with you all throughout my challenges with my voice.
• 41:21
  I've been sipping on warm water.
• 41:24
  I think that during the second half of the show, Andrew, the warm water kind of helped.
• 41:34
  So let's see how uh this half of the show, the last half of the show, how I uh how I'm how successful I am with my uh with my voice.
• 41:46
  But uh but Andrew, tell us, you uh took a bit of a trip uh this past weekend, and you were able to dine on a cuisine that you had never tried before.
• 41:59
  Do share with our listeners.
• 42:00
  Listeners.
• 42:01
  Yeah, I was able to try uh a little bit of alligator.
• 42:01
  Yeah, I was able to try uh a little bit of alligator.
• 42:06
  Um came in little like bite-sized pieces.
• 42:06
  Um came in little like bite-sized pieces.
• 42:09
  It tastes kind of like chicken.
• 42:09
  It tastes kind of like chicken.
• 42:11
  Uh chicken.
• 42:11
  Uh chicken.
• 42:12
  Yeah, place that uh we went to is called the Broadway oyster bar, and uh it's very uh Cajun.
• 42:12
  Yeah, place that uh we went to is called the Broadway oyster bar, and uh it's very uh Cajun.
• 42:20
  Uh they had like shrimp and a lot of these Cajun places, everything's voodoo, Rob.
• 42:20
  Uh they had like shrimp and uh a lot of these Cajun places, everything's voodoo, Rob.
• 42:26
  Uh they say voodoo this, voodoo that, like.
• 42:26
  Uh they say voodoo this, voodoo that, like their their shrimp was called voodoo shrimp.
• 42:32
  I guess it goes with the uh New Orleans vibe.
• 42:35
  I didn't know if people know this, but in St.
• 42:37
  Louis, uh the solar district is actually uh like little New Orleans with tons of New Orleans cuisine and uh stuff like that.
• 42:47
  And apparently uh St.
• 42:50
  Louis and New Orleans have really uh tight historic connections because a lot of the people that uh founded St.
• 42:57
  Louis actually came from New Orleans, so uh that's still very intertwined in their city culture, uh the Cajun vibe there in St.
• 43:07
  Louis, and yeah, alligator was interesting.
• 43:10
  I had some voodoo shrimp.
• 43:12
  Um some of this food, Rob, these I call it pretentious food, the seafood with like the oysters and stuff like that.
• 43:20
  It's like uh it's just not for me.
• 43:22
  I don't know how when you get more money, uh your flavor palette changes.
• 43:29
  You know what I mean?
• 43:30
  Because these people that eat a lot of this stuff, it's like they didn't always eat like this if they didn't grow up wealthy.
• 43:35
  But um, here we are now, and uh these wealthy people love the oysters, the lobster, crab tails, things like that.
• 43:44
  Um, it's just a different little uh flavor than what we're used to.
• 43:49
  And I do love the occasion food flavor.
• 43:51
  I like jambalaya, like gumbo, I like all that, and alligator was pretty good as well.
• 43:57
  Now, is it was the food spicy?
• 44:00
  Yeah, it was good uh sweet and spicy.
• 44:03
  Uh yeah, it had some cake to it.
• 44:05
  I never uh viewed uh St.
• 44:07
  Louis as being, like you said, on the Cajun side, uh kind of like uh New Orleans.
• 44:13
  I don't think I've ever been to New Orleans, haven't been there, have been to St.
• 44:16
  Louis.
• 44:16
  I haven't either.
• 44:17
  I heard that is it's nice.
• 44:19
  Uh New Orleans is nice.
• 44:20
  It's hot is all heck get out during the summer.
• 44:22
  Yeah.
• 44:23
  And that's one of the reasons why I have it like what been like on my list to go to because I don't like the heat and I don't like the I also hear they have mosquitoes and bugs and snakes and certain.
• 44:35
  I mean, I've watched, I've seen pictures of it on TV, like the swamp and the the huge mansions, and that all looks nice, you know, looking at the swamps, but I don't want to smell the swamps.
• 44:46
  I would prefer seeing blue pristine waters.
• 44:49
  I don't like green river water.
• 44:51
  I don't I want blue brothers.
• 44:53
  You can say that, oh my god, he's he's prejudiced against waters.
• 44:57
  Yeah, I don't I not not a fan of it at all.
• 45:00
  And then the swamp with Mothskins and oh god, no, I can't deliver me from all that.
• 45:07
  I don't want to have anything to do with that.
• 45:11
  But like I said, for some people, they like it.
• 45:15
  That's that's part of you know who they are.
• 45:17
  But I've always I have always been uh you know interested in St.
• 45:19
  Louis because at one point St.
• 45:21
  Louis was the place to be.
• 45:23
  Uh you know, everyone knew about some people call it St.
• 45:26
  Louis.
• 45:26
  I'm going to St.
• 45:27
  Louis, St.
• 45:28
  Louis, you know, that was like the the end thing.
• 45:31
  So how far is St.
• 45:32
  Louis from uh Chicago, Andrew, or where you live.
• 45:37
  Uh from where I live, it's about two and a half hours uh from Chicago, it's probably about uh four and a half hour drive or so.
• 45:45
  Oh, that's not bad.
• 45:46
  Yeah, yeah.
• 45:46
  Well, it's not a bad drive at all, just a hop skip and a jump.
• 45:51
  Uh I would say about St.
• 45:52
  Louis also, um, downtown area is really not too bad.
• 45:57
  I mean, here in Central Illinois, it's more dangerous in my opinion than what it seems like downtown St.
• 46:03
  Louis.
• 46:04
  Um, you gotta go into like some of the suburbs.
• 46:07
  And if you walk further downtown, but if you do go to downtown St.
• 46:11
  Louis, they say if you stay on Broadway, which is the road that Bush Stadium's on, uh really well lit and stuff like that.
• 46:18
  It's pretty quiet.
• 46:19
  That's Wrigley Stadium.
• 46:20
  Uh Bush Stadium, that's where the Cardinals play.
• 46:22
  Yeah, Wrigley's where the Cubs play in Chicago.
• 46:25
  Okay.
• 46:25
  Uh confused.
• 46:26
  Okay.
• 46:27
  Yeah.
• 46:27
  So but it's just like a lot of big cities where up by the arch and uh did you go to the arch?
• 46:33
  Yes, yes.
• 46:34
  The Cardinals play.
• 46:36
  Uh the they will, you know, um clean it up and keep the homeless and uh stuff like that out of there.
• 46:43
  So uh it wasn't a problem at all.
• 46:46
  Homeless people and stuff like that.
• 46:48
  So that was good to see uh down by the arch, even.
• 46:51
  So you can walk around downtown in St.
• 46:54
  Louis.
• 46:55
  Yes, but like even the people at the hotel tell you at night, you better know where you're going.
• 47:02
  You don't want to get lost down there.
• 47:04
  But uh yeah, like they say the locals will tell you to stay on Broadway, which is the main main road there.
• 47:11
  Uh and that's really sad.
• 47:13
  Yeah.
• 47:14
  This is here in America, and we're saying don't go there.
• 47:17
  Right.
• 47:17
  And anytime I any time I'd park my car anywhere, it'd be a nervous wreck that this thing was gonna get my window shattered.
• 47:24
  I mean and I shouldn't say because of my personal experience, but because of the city's reputation.
• 47:31
  And it shouldn't be that way.
• 47:32
  This is America.
• 47:33
  It should not be that way.
• 47:34
  And then when you have a president who wants to come in and clean it up, Democrats will get mad and say, leave our crime alone.
• 47:41
  We want our crime, we want the greenness.
• 47:43
  I think about New York City when Mayor Giuliani came in, he was cleaning it up, cleaning up Times Square.
• 47:47
  You had a lot of people saying, Oh, we don't want that.
• 47:50
  We want we want that grit.
• 47:51
  You now they're making all Disney.
• 47:53
  It's too clean.
• 47:54
  I'm like, are you serious?
• 47:56
  Is New York City like that where you can walk anywhere without having to worry about crime?
• 48:00
  Or do you gotta you can walk anywhere in the city without really have to worry?
• 48:05
  In the city in Manhattan.
• 48:06
  Uh even in Brooklyn places of Brooklyn and uh Queens, you could walk and not have to worry about it.
• 48:12
  No, I I would not say uh like late at night, like around 11 years.
• 48:17
  Yeah, I was gonna say even at night.
• 48:19
  Yeah, because at one point before we had Deblasio, you could.
• 48:24
  I mean, I would walk from Times Square, midtown to downtown, me and friends, and thought nothing of it.
• 48:30
  I would walk it by myself.
• 48:32
  You see people walking by themselves.
• 48:33
  There wasn't a fear.
• 48:35
  Okay, you weren't afraid.
• 48:37
  Now you just don't know.
• 48:40
  And it shouldn't be that way.
• 48:43
  Simply because it is a large city, doesn't mean it's not governable.
• 48:47
  But when you have Democrats in power, you never know what will happen.
• 48:52
  And if someone does attack you, there's a possibility that they're gonna let them go.
• 49:00
  They they won't be held accountable.
• 49:00
  They won't be held accountable.
• 49:01
  Is one of the hardest parts of moving from a place like Arkansas to New York, uh the hospitality.
• 49:01
  It's one of the hardest parts of moving from a place like Arkansas to New York, the hospitality.
• 49:08
  I mean, every time I go down south at all, even St.
• 49:08
  I mean, every time I go down south at all, even St.
• 49:11
  Louis compared to Central Illinois here, everybody hates their job, seems like they hate their life.
• 49:11
  Louis compared to Central Illinois here, everybody hates their job, seems like they hate their life, they're just going through the motions.
• 49:16
  They're just going through the motions.
• 49:18
  Uh, but you go down south, you know, St.
• 49:19
  But you go down south, you know, St.
• 49:21
  Louis, further down south than that.
• 49:21
  Louis, further down south than that.
• 49:23
  Uh, you get that southern hospitality, you get good service, you get people that seem like they actually enjoy their jobs.
• 49:23
  You get that Southern hospitality, you get good service.
• 49:27
  You get people that seem like they actually enjoy their jobs.
• 49:30
  Uh, do you miss if they don't?
• 49:32
  Yeah, exactly.
• 49:33
  Do you miss that?
• 49:34
  Uh from about the uh Andrew, because I'm sure New York City is the same way with the hustle and bustle.
• 49:41
  Right.
• 49:41
  Uh a lot of rude people and things like that.
• 49:44
  But we have a lot of implants in New York City now, and that's how Mandani was able to win the election.
• 49:48
  You have a lot of people who they're not part of the New York fabric.
• 49:52
  They were they came here as implants, either college students, didn't finish college, decide to become these little nomads, and you know, hence they make up New York City, so they don't know the culture.
• 50:04
  But I will say this something that you said about the South.
• 50:06
  Uh, when I came here, I people knew that I wasn't, well, for the most part, they assumed that I was a New Yorker because I never had the Southern accent.
• 50:16
  So they just assumed.
• 50:17
  When I would tell them that I wasn't from New York, it's like, no, no, you're kidding.
• 50:20
  No, no, no.
• 50:21
  But then they knew that I had manners, manners that they didn't have.
• 50:25
  Yes, sir, no, sir, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am.
• 50:27
  You know, being polite, polite.
• 50:29
  Uh, and so when I do do go home, I do miss that.
• 50:33
  Uh and I relish that that we have manners.
• 50:38
  And people should take pride in having manners.
• 50:41
  It's nothing to take to be proud of, not having manners and being short and curt and just downright nasty.
• 50:47
  Well, this is just me.
• 50:48
  No, no.
• 50:50
  It shouldn't be that way.
• 50:53
  And so when I do go back home, I do look forward to that.
• 50:57
  At one point, I was like, oh man, you know, why are these people saying hi to me?
• 51:00
  My mom was like, well, this is just what we do in the South, remember.
• 51:03
  You know, you could be driving in your car and someone throws your hand up, and you're like, do they know me?
• 51:09
  No.
• 51:10
  They're just being courteous.
• 51:11
  It doesn't matter if you're black or you're white, they're being courteous, Chinese or whatnot, because now and the South, and I think I talked about this before.
• 51:19
  I mean, it's just just many different nationalities there are there now.
• 51:23
  At one point it was only black, white, and then you had your uh token Chinese family, and every city in the South, it was always one Chinese family, okay, or an Indian family.
• 51:33
  But other than that, it was only black and white.
• 51:35
  But now you got a whole uh assimilation melting pot of people that are there, but even then they have manners, unlike people anywhere else.
• 51:47
  So if you have your manners, keep your manners, it will take you a long way.
• 51:51
  I wish some Democrats would get some manners and stop being so uptight and rude and obnoxious.
• 52:00
  But they seem to like it, they seem to like it.
• 52:04
  And then they'll call you out if you oh my god, look at how they're behaving.
• 52:08
  Oh man, oh, what is this?
• 52:09
  It's like, are you serious?
• 52:11
  Really?
• 52:12
  So I take pride in that.
• 52:14
  I take pride in knowing that I do have those manners, and I think for me, some of the best manners I'm from Arkansas and something else.
• 52:21
  A lot of people don't think Arkansas is in the south.
• 52:23
  And I don't know if they don't see it as being a southern state because they're getting it confused with Arizona, and Arizona is also South, but it's southwest.
• 52:32
  We're I'm more down in the south by Alabama and Oklahoma.
• 52:35
  I think we're right up under Oklahoma.
• 52:38
  But uh there is a difference, and I I do like the folks in Alabama and uh Alabama and Georgia, their accent and the hospitality because no one can do hospitality.
• 52:51
  Oh, can I see I don't even view Kentuck?
• 52:53
  I didn't view Kentucky as a southern state, but it is.
• 52:57
  You know, but no one can beat the Georgia, the folks in Georgia and South Carolina.
• 53:03
  It's like that though they can get on down in the southern and and the cuisine, the food.
• 53:07
  Oh my god, it's unbelievable.
• 53:10
  The smothered chicken and pork chops.
• 53:12
  No, you mentioned the alligator.
• 53:13
  Huge portions.
• 53:15
  Oh, yeah, huge, definitely huge portions.
• 53:17
  Uh and I'll I'll say this, you're talking about the restaurants, like here in New York City.
• 53:21
  I wouldn't dare eat in a McDonald's or Taco Bell.
• 53:24
  Okay.
• 53:25
  Because I I remember once I was going with a friend of mine to a Taco Bell, and I was we were ordering, and I saw the people working behind the counter, and I thought, oh my god, no.
• 53:35
  I can't.
• 53:36
  I get ready to order.
• 53:37
  I'm like, no, I don't want it.
• 53:39
  I don't want it.
• 53:39
  I'm like, my God, they look hideous, they look dirty.
• 53:42
  Whereas in the South, it's clean, it's pristine.
• 53:46
  You go to a McDonald's, it's like you're at a five-star restaurant because it's clean here in New York City.
• 53:51
  There are only certain McDonald's that are clean.
• 53:54
  I remember once I went to Harlem when it was going through his gentrification.
• 53:59
  They had one of the cleanest McDonald's ever.
• 54:02
  Of course, they had a security guard.
• 54:04
  But then other McDonald's, you go in, and it's like, are you guys going to empty the garbage?
• 54:10
  It's like, are you serious?
• 54:11
  The workers, they're laughing, they're talking, they're doing everything.
• 54:14
  I remember when we got our first uh what is that chicken Chick-fil-A here in New York City, and you know, it was from the South.
• 54:22
  And I had when I was at home, I gone to a Chick-fil-A, and everyone there was courteous, extremely courteous.
• 54:29
  So I'm like, how are they gonna uh prototype that in New York City?
• 54:33
  Well, they did.
• 54:34
  When they opened up, they flew people from the south to work at the store.
• 54:40
  And everyone there was polite, courteous, they were dressed right.
• 54:44
  Yes, sir, no, sir.
• 54:45
  We're sorry, we're gonna get your order.
• 54:47
  They were this or that, and I thought, these people are not from here.
• 54:50
  I'm like, they can't be.
• 54:52
  They're too courteous.
• 54:53
  And even now, you know, that it's open, I think it's been open for about three years now.
• 54:59
  They still have that attitude.
• 55:03
  You know, sometimes you might see someone with a little rough edge here.
• 55:06
  It's like, okay, they need to fine-tune that.
• 55:09
  But we need to bring that back.
• 55:11
  Yeah.
• 55:12
  And when people say, What do you mean by uh America used to be good?
• 55:15
  It was never good.
• 55:16
  No, it was even during standards.
• 55:19
  Standards, right?
• 55:20
  Even during segregation, you know, people were polite for the most part.
• 55:25
  And uh it's really hurt to workforce this DEI and the lack of standards and attire every legal we can find because you know, you don't have to give them raises, things like that.
• 55:36
  Um, I know of companies who like to hire illegals because Pritzker made a law that you have to um give a workers vacation uh if they're work a certain amount of hours, uh you owe them uh at least one week vacation pay.
• 55:53
  Well, some of these companies here in Illinois are now hiring illegals because they don't ask about their vacations, and then they don't have to pay them out.
• 56:00
  Out.
• 56:00
  So essentially it pays them a week, saves them a week of vacation pay and then a week of having to get these ships covered and things like that.
• 56:00
  So it essentially pays them a week, saves them a week of vacation pay, and then a week of having to get these ships covered and things like that.
• 56:08
  Uh it's just once again a perfect example of the government putting illegals before uh American citizens, and then these companies just do uh what works in their best interest.
• 56:08
  Uh, it's just once again a perfect example of the government putting illegals before uh American citizens, and then these companies just do uh what works in their best interest.
• 56:20
  Uh, we see that time and time again.
• 56:20
  Uh we see that time and time again.
• 56:23
  So uh yeah, definitely a great discussion here tonight.
• 56:23
  So uh yeah, definitely a great discussion here tonight.
• 56:26
  We appreciate you guys joining us uh once again on after.
• 56:26
  We appreciate you guys joining us uh once again on After Dark with Rob and Andrew.
