  It's six Eastern.
• 0:08
  It's three o'clock Pacific.
• 0:09
  We will draw this city closer together.
• 0:12
  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.
• 0:22
  It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:26
  JD Vance and others came home from the Middle East with no deal with Iran.
• 0:33
  But Artemis did come home, and it was an incredible sight on Friday night.
• 0:37
  I'm Booker.
• 0:38
  This is The Truth Be Told.
• 0:40
  As always on Mondays, we have Mondays with Matt.
• 0:42
  Matt Palumbo is here.
• 0:43
  Matt, what did you think of Artemis when it came back to Earth?
• 0:47
  Oh, it was really awesome.
• 0:48
  I love watching stuff like that.
• 0:51
  The video I saw online, too, of the re-entry of the perspective, you know, from the astronauts themselves recording it.
• 0:58
  It was one of the coolest things I've seen.
• 1:00
  And I will say I really feel like there wasn't.
• 1:04
  I know there's a lot of coverage of it, but I feel like there really wasn't anywhere near as much as there usually is or should be.
• 1:10
  And you know, I don't know if I'm reading into it that they thought maybe it would help Trump or his administration because it was objectively cool, but uh no, I I thought uh I wish the media talked about it more.
• 1:22
  Well, Trump should get some credit for this.
• 1:24
  He was the one that in his first term, he made Artemis possible.
• 1:29
  And and some of this technology goes back 20, 22, 23 years, but it was Donald Trump that did that, and he also did the Space Force.
• 1:36
  So he was instrumental in making this happen.
• 1:39
  I wanted your perspective though, from someone that's 32 years old.
• 1:43
  Do you remember the space shuttles and when that was going on, or are you too young for even to remember that?
• 1:50
  I feel like I'm too young to remember that.
• 1:52
  I mean, I remember there was one where it disintegrated upon re-entry.
• 1:57
  I believe I was alive for that one.
• 1:58
  Obviously, Challenger is landing a little bit more before my time as well.
• 2:04
  But uh I would say you were probably eight, nine, ten when Columbia happened.
• 2:10
  Yes, okay.
• 2:12
  Yes.
• 2:12
  So that was about your age then.
• 2:14
  But I what is your perspective on the space and Artemis and going to the moon to then go to Mars?
• 2:21
  Are you excited about it?
• 2:22
  What what were your feelings like when you saw this happen?
• 2:26
  Uh very.
• 2:27
  Uh, and I I've noticed uh you know, a political divide on this issue where it's one naturally you wouldn't think there is one, but I I I saw some liberals and grant this is from the furthest left people claiming this is just like colonialism over again, and I'm thinking there's no people being colonized.
• 2:47
  It's a blank slate we're colonizing, and they still have a problem with it.
• 2:51
  So there's something of the left that is fundamentally anti-science, uh, anti-progress.
• 2:56
  And I've also seen opinions that are like uh, well, we could have you know fed the hungry with this money, and uh we spend far more on food stamps than we do on NASA, so I I don't really understand where that argument's coming from.
• 3:10
  And you know, if we listen to these people that instead of scientific advancement, we always do some liberal pet projects.
• 3:17
  We would never advance at all.
• 3:20
  And the thing too about scientific explanation uh exploration, in addition to just being cool, and uh I think I I think some things are worth doing just because they're all inspiring.
• 3:31
  We do get scientific achievements out of them, and they are achievements that we cannot even conceive of until they are discovered, and things that change our lives, and that's you know, it shouldn't be the only reason we do it.
• 3:42
  We we do get a lot back from it as well.
• 3:44
  So even the technology that we get from uh creating the rockets and everything that it takes to get there, we get a lot of benefit from that as well.
• 3:53
  Um, you know, that was a big thing with Apollo.
• 3:56
  We got so much technology from going to the moon the first time.
• 3:59
  It's gonna be interesting to see what we get here.
• 4:01
  You brought up something though that I want to hit on, and that was the political divide.
• 4:06
  As I watched Artemis come back and splash down in the ocean on Friday night, I thought, well, here is one thing that is not political.
• 4:14
  Artemis is making America great again.
• 4:17
  We should all have great pride in what we're watching.
• 4:20
  The the discovery, the courage, the uh ingenuity.
• 4:24
  You know, that is what America is and always has been, and we should all be proud of that regardless of whether we're left or right or conservative, Democrat.
• 4:33
  It just doesn't matter.
• 4:34
  And it shouldn't matter here, but then you say, well, I've seen some people on the left that are making political statements out of this.
• 4:40
  Oh, and and this isn't new either.
• 4:42
  I I was looking back, I was wondering to myself, is this something new?
• 4:46
  And if you go back to the time of the moon landing, you can find old newspaper articles of famous leftists dismissing it, kind of bragging about how little they care.
• 4:57
  Um there's a psychotic photo of a woman saying something like I I'm gonna get a bush with the numbers, but it says something like, you know, uh it costs us uh you know eight dollars a day to have an astronaut and defeat an astronaut in space, we could feed a kid on earth for four dollars, and the woman who was holding a sign is comically obese, which is why you know what why in my opinion it's so iconic.
• 5:21
  But uh the you know, these sentiments are nothing new from the left, and thank God we have easy not have them in control right now.
• 5:27
  Well, let's listen to astronaut Victor Glover.
• 5:30
  This was him on Sunday after Artemis came back to Earth.
• 5:34
  Um, when this started on April 3rd, uh I wanted to thank God in public.
• 5:41
  And I want to thank God again.
• 5:44
  Because uh even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through.
• 5:51
  The gratitude of seeing what we saw.
• 5:55
  Doing what we did and being with who I was with.
• 5:58
  Uh it's too big to just be in one body.
• 6:03
  That's awesome.
• 6:03
  That is astronaut Victor Glover.
• 6:06
  Yeah, he's a great guy.
• 6:07
  And again, we should take pride in what this is and what it means.
• 6:10
  And in reality, as I was watching this space capsule come back down to Earth and the parachutes and uh, you know, those last three big parachutes, they intentionally open up slowly.
• 6:22
  I don't know if you knew that.
• 6:24
  I think it would be helpful if they would tell you these things beforehand, as as I'm watching them like open, open, open, please open.
• 6:31
  But they're done that way so that it uh slows it down gradually, and it's not just bam, it it slows it down from a hundred thousand miles an hour to nothing in seconds, and that would be pretty rough if you're Victor uh Glover and the other astronauts inside.
• 6:47
  But this is what America is, and that is our resources, our ingenuity, our discovery, our brains, our get things done, and that is not uh it doesn't have anything to do with politics.
• 7:00
  It is what really creates the value in the American dollar.
• 7:05
  And so many people miss that.
• 7:06
  They want to say, well, we got off the gold standard, it's a fiat dollar, we're gonna no, it's that.
• 7:12
  That Artemis is what um what backs the American dollar, and I think it was fantastic.
• 7:18
  It was great to see.
• 7:19
  Now let's move over to Istanbul, where we had the talks over the weekend, and it was history, Matt, for the first time since 1979.
• 7:29
  Upper level uh administration people, J.D.
• 7:32
  Vance, Witkoff, Jared Kushner, they were there speaking to upper echelon members of the Iran government.
• 7:39
  It still brings me to the question who is in charge.
• 7:42
  We got confirmation over the weekend that uh the uh no leg actually has no leg, the um the son, I guess, of the Ayatollah Kohhomene.
• 7:54
  He is, I guess, in charge, they say, but nobody's seen him.
• 7:57
  Nobody's heard from him.
• 7:58
  So I don't know who's in charge.
• 8:00
  I don't know who we're negotiating with or why we're negotiating with Iran.
• 8:04
  I still don't know the answer to that question.
• 8:07
  Because to me, as at the end of this, it appears that they've done the same thing that they've always done for 47 years.
• 8:12
  They use it to obscuse to just push things back for a while, and then nothing ever changes.
• 8:20
  But before Trump, uh but before J.D.
• 8:23
  Vance was there in Estanbull, you had Donald Trump on Friday making some comments, and let's go to that.
• 8:29
  Let's listen to President Donald Trump.
• 8:32
  Well, I wish him luck.
• 8:33
  He's got a big thing.
• 8:34
  I will find out what's going on.
• 8:37
  Uh they're militarily defeated.
• 8:39
  And now uh we're gonna open up the Gulf with them with or without them.
• 8:44
  But that'll be open.
• 8:45
  We're gonna be uh, or the straightest they call it, and I think it's gonna go pretty quickly.
• 8:50
  And if it doesn't, we'll be able to finish it off one way or the other.
• 8:54
  It's going well.
• 8:56
  The uh the Navy's gone, the Air Force is gone, all anti-aircraft is gone, the leaders are gone, the whole place is gone.
• 9:04
  So we'll see how it turns out.
• 9:05
  So it's JD and Steve and Jarrett.
• 9:08
  You have a good team, and uh they meet tomorrow.
• 9:11
  We'll see how it all works.
• 9:12
  So that was Friday before they went over the weekend.
• 9:14
  JD Vance and as he mentioned, Steve Whitcott and um uh Jared Kushner were there.
• 9:21
  And let's get one more from Trump on the tarmac there.
• 9:24
  You could hear the noise in the background.
• 9:26
  Let's get one more from him before the talks that took place over the weekend.
• 9:30
  Here's Donald Trump again.
• 9:32
  No nuclear weapons, number one.
• 9:34
  You know, I think it's already been regime change, but we never had that as a as a criteria.
• 9:40
  No nuclear weapon.
• 9:41
  That's 99% of us.
• 9:44
  Well, yeah, but that'll open up automatically.
• 9:48
  Yeah, the answer is yes, but the strait will open up if we just left, the straits gonna otherwise they make no money.
• 9:54
  So the straits gonna open.
• 9:56
  But what we have is no nuclear weapons, but we'll open the strait anyway.
• 10:00
  So that's something Donald Trump has said for years and years, Matt, that Iran can't have nuclear weapons.
• 10:06
  He's not alone.
• 10:07
  Most most Democrats have said the same thing, but here we are all these years later, and they still have the capabilities possible of creating a nuclear weapon, and that's why all of this is happening.
• 10:19
  Finally, somebody's doing something about it in Donald Trump.
• 10:22
  Now, he mentioned a couple of things there.
• 10:24
  One thing I noticed, he mentioned the same thing that we talked about last week on the program, which is all America has to do is leave the Strait of Hormuz and it's open.
• 10:32
  Something else I want to bring to people's attention, though, is the amount of money that Iran has been making since this started, because their tankers are getting through because they're letting them through.
• 10:43
  And a result of that is uh, you know, most of the time they've been selling oil for 120 dollars a barrel compared to 80, which is what it was before all of this started.
• 10:53
  So they're making 40 dollars more a barrel, and they're making uh they're selling 1.5 to 1.6 million a day.
• 11:00
  So they're making a lot of money right now, and the Strait of Hormuz is not affecting them.
• 11:04
  Now, let's go to the Strait of Hormuz and talk about that because now Donald Trump says they are going to create a blockade there in the Strait of Hormuz with the U.S.
• 11:13
  Navy and any help that we get from the other countries that have not showed up to help yet.
• 11:18
  That is the plan.
• 11:19
  Have you heard about that?
• 11:20
  Um no, but I like it more than turn to Allah to uh fala for help.
• 11:25
  So that's a big improvement there.
• 11:27
  Well, a week makes a difference.
• 11:28
  And by the way, let's clean this up too, because last weekend and when we did the show last Monday night, we talk about Donald Trump putting that out on a post about uh cussing and and praise be to Allah and all that thing.
• 11:41
  And you know, I saw Hal Kemper talking, I guess Monday or Tuesday night about this, and and then it picked up some steam.
• 11:48
  I saw it some other places.
• 11:50
  This is the way the people in that culture in the Middle East speak.
• 11:54
  He was not talking to any of us on Easter morning with that.
• 11:58
  He was speaking speaking specifically to them because that's all they understand.
• 12:02
  You remember uh Saddam Hussein, he says the mother of all battles.
• 12:06
  You know, they very dramatic and they cuss and they're very colorful in language.
• 12:11
  So that was something different to the leadership of Iran that they had never seen from an American president.
• 12:17
  And I think it was completely intentional, and I don't know, what do you think?
• 12:22
  You know, still not an ideal post, but yes, it does make more sense with that kind of context.
• 12:28
  Yeah, it's funny because I remember you and my dad were both pretty bothered by it.
• 12:33
  I went on Matt Christensen's show, and he's you know, he's Christian, it's a Bible study, and he's he's like he's going, Oh no, it was funny.
• 12:40
  So I was like, all right, I got every opinion on this.
• 12:42
  Oh, he thought it was funny.
• 12:43
  He thought it was funny, because I was honestly not expecting.
• 12:46
  So I wasn't some mixed opinions of this.
• 12:48
  Well, let's go to JD Vance after he came back, or af as he was leaving Estan Bull after having the talks with Iran all weekend.
• 12:56
  Twenty-one hours.
• 12:58
  We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
• 13:01
  That's the good news.
• 13:02
  The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that's bad news for Iran, much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
• 13:09
  So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
• 13:12
  We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things were we're not willing to accommodate them on.
• 13:20
  And uh, we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.
• 13:26
  And Iran was wanting uh money, they were wanting a hundred billion dollars released to them, they want sanctions lifted.
• 13:33
  They have no position of leverage because they have no power, they have no reason to negotiate, and America really doesn't at this point either.
• 13:42
  So I'm not sure how this is good going to end.
• 13:45
  Have you given it any thought?
• 13:46
  Um, I mean, us take permanently taking over the Strait of Hormuz and calling it like the Strait of Trump or something is maybe what ADO can lace that out, solve some.
• 13:56
  The Strait of America as a nice ring to what am I saying?
• 14:00
  Straight of America, yeah.
• 14:02
  That way it can stay straight of America after Donald Trump is gone.
• 14:05
  We're saying their new leaders gay is we we could rename it the gay of Hormuz and force them to live with that.
• 14:10
  Oh, they say he's disfigured, too.
• 14:12
  Did you see that?
• 14:13
  That this new Ayatollah is disfigured, he has no legs, and he's gay.
• 14:18
  So we got to find out he's uh failed driver Zed.
• 14:24
  He uh school rumor type stuff, but I I think some of it's probably true.
• 14:29
  I think the legs are true and the disfigured.
• 14:31
  I saw that over the weekend.
• 14:32
  It seems credible.
• 14:33
  It seems like it's corroborated at this point, but you know, that's not he's not a catch, is he?
• 14:39
  I don't know, he doesn't sound like a catch.
• 14:41
  Let's listen to John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Senator.
• 14:45
  Here he is on Iran.
• 14:46
  I would like to remind people too.
• 14:48
  Every single Democrat running for president and every single Democrat in the Senate said we can never allow them to acquire nuclear weapon.
• 14:58
  And now, if you want to talk about a war crime, you know, Iran is a 47-year-old war crime, what they continue to behave.
• 15:07
  So, you know, I as a Democrat, I supported what President Trump did, you know, to actually call Iran accountable.
• 15:15
  And I think it's been successful.
• 15:17
  And let me point this out about uh Fetterman here.
• 15:20
  He talked there in the past tense because he has said he would not support voting for the war powers act if that comes up.
• 15:28
  If it's needed because we leave and then Donald Trump decides to go back, he says he wouldn't.
• 15:33
  Now pay attention to John Fetterman because he talks a great game, and I see a lot of people on the right that love John Fetterman now.
• 15:41
  And you know, I'm surprised by him as well.
• 15:44
  Uh don't get me wrong about that.
• 15:46
  However, look how he votes.
• 15:48
  He still votes the way you think he would vote 93% of the time, doesn't he, Matt?
• 15:53
  Yeah, I think that was the stature quoting for um how often he would vote with Biden, which I just remember it being over 90%.
• 16:00
  So that's what you're quoting.
• 16:02
  He's mastered being a swing saying senator, and then he goes on Fox News, he talks about the axis of the left.
• 16:09
  He he criticizes for the type of leftists that would be a big story on Fox News.
• 16:13
  And, you know, I I would like to pretend that faction of the left is five to ten percent of the party and is just this activist class, but really they all vote in lockstep, so that can't be true.
• 16:26
  But he criticizes those types of people in Fox, and you feel like, wow, it's refreshing to hear a Democrat um, you know, appear sane by just talking like a normal person, and then he will then go to the Senate and vote in lockstep with crazy.
• 16:40
  So he does, I think he does defect the largest percentage of the time, but it's just that it's very rare that he does do it.
• 16:50
  Any Democrats do it.
• 16:51
  So it you know, in relative terms, he's the most conservative Democrat, but in absolute terms, he is pretty liberal.
• 16:58
  Now he mentioned there that Democrat presidents have said uh Iran is a threat with a nuclear weapon.
• 17:04
  Well, let's go back to 2015.
• 17:06
  Let's listen to Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor back then.
• 17:10
  This was all around the Obama deal that he made with the Iranians and the Iran uh and the Iranian nuclear deal.
• 17:18
  Here is Chuck Schumer from the Senate floor.
• 17:20
  I examined this deal in three parts.
• 17:23
  Nuclear restrictions on Iran in the first 10 years, nuclear restrictions on Iran after 10 years, and non-nuclear components and consequences of the deal.
• 17:34
  And in each case, I didn't ask what is the ideal agreement.
• 17:37
  We're not in that world.
• 17:38
  I asked, are we better off with the agreement that we have before us or without?
• 17:45
  In the first 10 years of the deal, there are serious weaknesses in the agreement.
• 17:49
  First, inspections are not anywhere anytime.
• 17:53
  The potential delay of as many as 24 days before we can inspect undeclared suspicious sites is troubling.
• 18:00
  It is true that declared sites will be monitored.
• 18:03
  That is one of the positives of this deal.
• 18:06
  But if Iran is going to cheat, it will not be at a declared site with the eyes of the world watching.
• 18:12
  It will have it.
• 18:13
  It seems to me when it comes to the nuclear aspects of the agreement within 10 years, we might be better off.
• 18:20
  We might be slightly better off with it.
• 18:23
  However, when it comes to nuclear aspects after 10 years, and non-nuclear aspects, we would be better off without it.
• 18:32
  That's Chuck Schumer talking about that Iranian nuclear deal that Obama put in place that Donald Trump tore up.
• 18:38
  It's very interesting, isn't it?
• 18:41
  Yeah, on every like anti-Trump cause of the left.
• 18:45
  There's clips of Democrats 20 to 30 years ago saying exactly what Donald Trump was saying.
• 18:50
  I mean, they're the most obvious examples of legal immigration where you know the rhetoric of Barack Obama was pretty right wing.
• 18:57
  Now, obviously in practice he was not, but you know, he was an improvement over Biden.
• 19:01
  But um the the left, at least rhetorically pretended to be, you know, pro-sane immigration back then, and then once it became a Trump policy, they turned against it.
• 19:12
  Um and uh, you know, I I wonder if they were being the real selves back then or now, or are they willing to knowingly uh take wrong positions to get elected and to hurt Trump?
• 19:25
  The answer to that is probably yes.
• 19:27
  So uh yeah, it's um sad that we're ruled by people who ultimately believe nothing when it would uh when their brains are corrupted by uh TDS.
• 19:36
  Let's go back to Artemis real quick.
• 19:38
  I have time for one more clip about the spacecraft and uh NASA in general.
• 19:44
  Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, he was one of those six seditious six, and here is something he had to say about this.
• 19:51
  This really blew me away.
• 19:52
  Listen to Senator Mark.
• 19:54
  When you're the commander, you get some say in who your other crew members are gonna be.
• 19:59
  So the
• 20:00
  Last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew would be seven, white guy, U.S.
• 20:09
  Navy, test pilots like me.
• 20:13
  It would be a disaster.
• 20:15
  Why would that be a disaster?
• 20:16
  If I was going up in space, I that's exactly who I want.
• 20:20
  I want the I want the test pilots from Air Force and Navy taking me up there.
• 20:25
  And I also thought about this, Matt, when I was watching all this.
• 20:28
  There is not a chance in hell you would ever pry me in to that spaceship to blast off to begin with.
• 20:34
  And you probably wouldn't even get me in the elevator to take me up to it.
• 20:37
  And there's just no way.
• 20:39
  And then riding on the helicopter, they hoist you up.
• 20:42
  I wouldn't even do that.
• 20:44
  I'm just I'm just too chicken to do any of it.
• 20:46
  But it was a great sight to see.
• 20:48
  Eric Swalwell, he is in the news big time, running for governor in the state of California.
• 20:53
  We're going to get to that after the break.
• 20:55
  More truth be told with Booker Scott in minutes on America Out Loud.
• 21:01
  Let's get real.
• 21:02
  Let's get loud on America Out Loud Talk News.
• 21:05
  Yes, this is Dr.
• 21:06
  Peter McCullough, and I'm personally inviting you to join me in Nashville on July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for a historic experience in 2026.

• 23:01
  Eric Swalwell, the poster boy of the left for many years, the guy that went after Donald Trump relentlessly for a decade.
• 23:08
  He not just Trump either, but it was Kavanaugh.
• 23:11
  It was one after the other.
• 23:12
  Well, guess what?
• 23:14
  Someone in the Democrat Party, they have decided to go after Eric Swalwell.
• 23:18
  They're doing it in a big way.
• 23:20
  To me, Matt, there was no other way to see this, other than it was a Democrat because we talked about this last week.
• 23:26
  Currently, in the governor's race in California in the polls, there are two Republicans leading.
• 23:32
  The way they do their elections, the top two in a primary, they go up, which means that it would have been a uh a Republican as a governor.
• 23:40
  Who is the who's running in third place right now?
• 23:43
  It's Eric Swalwell.
• 23:44
  You knock his 14-15% out of it.
• 23:47
  He gets out of the race, doesn't run a campaign, he gets two or three percent because of his name, and then a Democrat would come in second, and then the Democrat would win by 20 points.
• 23:57
  Somewhere there is a Democrat behind this.
• 24:00
  This story was started at the San Francisco Chronicle.
• 24:03
  I don't think it really takes a rocket science uh scientist to figure this out.
• 24:08
  Yeah, and you know, the the problem with questioning any, you know, accusations of sexual harassment or assault against someone, the consequences you're gonna look like, you know, a a jerk for daring to question it.
• 24:20
  But I think it's worth summarizing what the accuser is accusing Eric Swalwell of.
• 24:25
  And he's saying that back in 2019, she was working for him for a few weeks.
• 24:30
  She was 21 years old.
• 24:32
  I believe he was 38.
• 24:33
  He was sending her naked photos on Snapchat of his genitals and trying to solicit nudes from her in return.
• 24:40
  Now, after that, there's a uh a time where she is sitting uh as a passenger in the past news in his car.
• 24:49
  He asked her for a blowjob, and she says she gave him one.
• 24:53
  Now, after that, he invites her to go drinking one night.
• 24:57
  Um, they get drunk, she says she wakes up in a hotel room bed naked with him and has no memory, but believes, you know, could feel that they had sex.
• 25:06
  Okay, so you know, those two cases seem like you know, more in regret territory, but you could say to me, Well, who are you to say, Matt?
• 25:16
  She felt coerced, she felt pressure, she was afraid.
• 25:20
  Okay, fair enough.
• 25:21
  Now, five years after the hotel encounter, she runs into Eric Swalwell for the first time in five years at a political event.
• 25:32
  And what do they do?
• 25:34
  They go out drinking in and then have sex, and then she said this too was sexual assault.
• 25:40
  So it's just a little weird to put yourself in the exact same situation five years later and go out drinking again.
• 25:49
  It just seems more like revenge against him.
• 25:52
  And you know, when it comes to um, you know, these allegations against Squalwell, there's been a number of journalists coming forward and saying, Oh, this was just an open secret.
• 26:02
  Everyone knew about this, but you know, they were afraid, you know, they might get sued by Swallow.
• 26:07
  But I've seen at least four or five journalists come forward and admit for that for over a decade, they've known to be sort of allegations against Swalwell.
• 26:15
  Um, in Swalwell in his video addressing this, he basically uh, you know, admits that, or he may he made a comment that basically indicates that he had cheated on his wife, but is rejecting the sexual assault or harassment allegations, which I think is consistent with what I was saying.
• 26:35
  But this is a targeted hit, and the reason why is because as you said, the primary in California is an all-party primary.
• 26:43
  Republicans are 30 or so percent of the electorate.
• 26:46
  So if you have two Republican front runners, every other candidate gets a knocked off in the general.
• 26:51
  So right now it's Steve Hilton and Bianca.
• 26:54
  Uh Bianca.
• 26:56
  Yes, the sheriff.
• 26:57
  Um, and so that's happened.
• 26:59
  And then also Trump has endorsed Steve Hilton, which I think was ill-advised just because it's gonna cost Bianca votes that you know it's gonna lower his vote share and could kick him down from second into third or lower.
• 27:12
  That's right.
• 27:12
  But Swalwell, it's it's almost 20% of the of the vote is gonna get redistributed to other Democrats.
• 27:18
  And in the betting markets, Tom Steyer, uh, who ran for president in I believe 2020, he's a he's a billionaire leftist.
• 27:25
  He's sort of like a George Soros site.
• 27:27
  His odds have never surged uh, I mean, by double digits into being more than a 50% favorite to win the whole thing.
• 27:33
  So this is all helped other Democrats at the expense of Swalwell.
• 27:38
  And it's uh also interesting to note in light of that what I just said that they're all calling for him to drop out of the governor's race.
• 27:46
  No one is calling for him to resign from Congress.
• 27:48
  That's right.
• 27:49
  So what does that tell you?
• 27:50
  Yeah.
• 27:51
  Uh hypocritical, at the very at the very least, it's hypocritical.
• 27:55
  Now, it was Swalwell that said you have to believe them when Blaise Ford came out against Brett Kavanaugh.
• 28:02
  You have to believe them, he said.
• 28:04
  So now he's on the other side of this.
• 28:06
  I don't think it'll change Eric Swalwell.
• 28:09
  One thing that has been brought to my attention, I don't know how factual this is.
• 28:13
  They say that it's too late to drop out of the governor's race in California, so his name would still appear on the ballot.
• 28:20
  I guess if he just doesn't campaign, maybe it doesn't make a difference, other than that's why earlier I mentioned maybe he gets two or three or four percent if he's not actually campaigning, but he won't get the whole 15 to 20 percent that he's getting right now.
• 28:33
  Let's go to CNN.
• 28:34
  Let's listen to their breakdown and story on this story about Eric Swalwell.
• 28:39
  Four women are accusing Congressman Eric Swalwell with sexual misconduct, including a former staffer who says he raped her.
• 28:46
  The allegations against the prominent democratic candidate for governor range from inappropriate messages and pictures to unwanted kissing and touching, and in one case, rape from a woman we spoke to on camera and shadow to protect her identity due to professional retaliation concerns.
• 29:02
  She is a former Swalwell staffer.
• 29:05
  She says it began when she was 21 years old.
• 29:08
  There were two very serious sexual assault allegations.
• 29:11
  She made one in 2019 as a staffer, the other from 2024 once she left his office.
• 29:17
  She also described inappropriate messages and nude images with the congressman using Snapchat with disappearing messages.
• 29:25
  Okay, Matt, that is a little bit about what you were talking about there on some background with CNN.
• 29:31
  And I have one more clip here, and this is the voice, or maybe an actress, I guess, that did her voice.
• 29:37
  I'm not sure how they did this, but I I maybe it is her just her voice has been changed.
• 29:42
  Here she is telling the story.
• 29:45
  Now, after the first incident where she said she woke up in his hotel room as a staffer naked after a night of heavy drinking, she told us about what she says happened several years later in 2024 after she left his office.
• 29:57
  And I want to warn you what you were about to hear.
• 30:00
  Here is graphic.
• 30:01
  I decided to ask him to meet me for a drink.
• 30:04
  And I did this because I was so far removed from what had happened in 2019.
• 30:11
  I felt safe because I was established.
• 30:17
  I felt more secure that I could have a strictly professional relationship with this person.
• 30:25
  After that bar closed, we went to another.
• 30:27
  I went to the bathroom, and I don't remember anything after that.
• 30:32
  You don't remember anything.
• 30:34
  I remember the next day.
• 30:45
  It was a lot more aggressive.
• 30:50
  It was aggressive.
• 30:51
  It was aggressive, she says.
• 30:53
  I have a lot of questions there.
• 30:54
  Do you would you have any questions of that female?
• 30:57
  I know we have to believe them.
• 30:58
  That's what Eric Swalwell said.
• 31:00
  So we have to believe what she says.
• 31:02
  Do you have any questions for her, though, in her decision making and choices?
• 31:07
  I mean, I you know, uh asking Eurethus out for coffee isn't something I'd ever recommend to anyone, and that it was just bizarre.
• 31:16
  In fact, I I when I was explaining to you in the audience the story, I I had thought it was Swallow who asked her to meet up.
• 31:23
  Um I I actually overlooked the fact that she's the one who originated that.
• 31:27
  So no, it makes no sense.
• 31:29
  I mean, she cheated on her.
• 31:30
  I guess I don't know why she's a partner.
• 31:31
  I assume she means husband or boyfriend, but I guess cheated on them and also was trying to cover for that and have an excuse.
• 31:38
  It's bizarre behavior.
• 31:39
  And also to clarify, yes, the woman that you just played is the woman you mentioned before that.
• 31:44
  So one in the same, although I think there's four accusers total now.
• 31:47
  Yeah, four total, and we'll see where this goes.
• 31:50
  Does he pull out, just quit campaigning in California?
• 31:54
  And does it have the effect that whoever is behind this, whether it's Tom Steyr, I look at someone like Katie Porter.
• 32:00
  She ran for the Senate against uh Adam Schiff uh a couple of years ago.
• 32:05
  She's a nasty person, you know, she has a terrible reputation in the House of Representatives with her staffers.
• 32:11
  Yeah, I could see her doing something like this, paying these people to come forward and do this.
• 32:17
  It's kind of been weird to me, though, to see the Democrats turn on Swalwell as fast as they have.
• 32:23
  It's like they don't even know what to do.
• 32:25
  But it's also in the mainstream media, it's on Capitol Hill, it's everywhere.
• 32:30
  They've all turned on Swalwell.
• 32:32
  And uh, I would caution conservatives and Republicans, and I tried to do this over the weekend with a post on X.
• 32:38
  Be careful, because if he if he gets out of the race, it's actually hurting you.
• 32:44
  We're gonna have a Republican governor in California for the first time since Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• 32:49
  If those two Republicans can get at the top of the ticket in the primary.
• 32:52
  So, in some ways, by destroying the story on the right, the conservative people, they are destroying the chances for a Republican actually winning because no matter what Democrat wins or comes in second or first in the primary, they're gonna win by 20 points.
• 33:09
  The Democrats have 10 million people registered.
• 33:12
  Republicans have about 5.3 million, and there are a bunch of independents as well.
• 33:16
  So it's a two to one.
• 33:18
  Democrats to Republican, the Democrats will win by 20 points if you get rid of Eric Swalwell and then a Republican comes in third or fourth place.
• 33:27
  Yeah, I mean, we it people should remember, and I think this is probably obvious to your audience that whenever Democrats are seemingly doing the right thing and all coming together to do that, and the media is giving them a helping hand.
• 33:40
  It's because the end goal is to help the Democratic Party.
• 33:44
  In this case, you know, for the reasons we explained in California's race, it's reminiscent of when after Joe Biden's disastrous debate with Donald Trump in 2024.
• 33:55
  It was as if everyone just finally got a green light where they went, okay, we we can't cover this up anymore.
• 34:02
  So now we're gonna pretend that we're doing the noble thing and getting him out of the way and blah, blah, blah.
• 34:08
  But obviously it's because they knew Biden couldn't win.
• 34:10
  So it's the same thing.
• 34:11
  They don't care about doing the right thing.
• 34:13
  They've known about this was qualified for well over a decade, it seems.
• 34:17
  I I think you know, I I will say I don't know if I buy that he's committing sexual assault against his women.
• 34:22
  I think he's a womanizer, he's he may be pressuring women.
• 34:26
  Um and it's shitting on his wife.
• 34:29
  But uh, I I don't think I haven't seen not seen evidence that he's a rapist or anything like that so far.
• 34:34
  No, me either.
• 34:35
  But be careful.
• 34:36
  If you're a conservative, you're on the right side, you're a Republican.
• 34:39
  When you see these things that Matt and I are talking about, don't help them.
• 34:44
  Don't don't pile on, don't help them with their story because ultimately they are doing it for a reason to help themselves, not help you.
• 34:52
  So just keep that in mind as we move forward in this political season.
• 34:57
  Let's stay in California, though, because there's a lot of fraud there.
• 35:00
  Did you keep up with the fraud that was coming out last week in California?
• 35:05
  Yeah, it was I I saw their AG's press conference, and it was infuriating.
• 35:09
  He was trying to act like oh, you know, we've uh, you know, Trump's trying to make fraud a political issue, but we've been targeting fraud since the 70s.
• 35:18
  What was Trump saying about fraud back then?
• 35:20
  And I'm thinking uh he wasn't politically involved.
• 35:23
  Why would Trump have been talking about California fraud in the 70s?
• 35:27
  But it was a very bizarre press conference.
• 35:29
  I mean, I think they recover they had found it was what is it, 250 million in fraud or something?
• 35:35
  Yeah, but then they were bragging, they recovered an entire 10% of it, and I'm thinking that's it.
• 35:41
  Where the hell did the rest of the money go?
• 35:42
  It's just an odd thing to I don't know, be trying to claim the moral high ground against Trump or something.
• 35:48
  And this, by the way, came after weeks of David Newsom attacking Nick Shirley for finding fraud.
• 35:55
  I I don't know, they can't really keep the narrative straight.
• 35:57
  Is it good to identify fraud?
• 35:59
  Is it bad?
• 36:00
  I guess it depends on who's the one finding it.
• 36:02
  These people believe nothing, as I just said earlier.
• 36:04
  If it's somebody on the Trump team that is finding fraud, then it's a bad thing.
• 36:08
  If it's them, it's a good thing.
• 36:09
  When you go back to PPP and unemployment during COVID, that was 500 billion to a trillion dollars in fraud.
• 36:17
  So far, the last time I checked, we have collected about a hundred million dollars of that.
• 36:24
  That is about 10%.
• 36:26
  Not many people have been prosecuted.
• 36:28
  They are trying, but they're not gonna get anywhere near the trillion or 500 billion.
• 36:33
  It just won't happen.
• 36:34
  That's your neighbor, American people that are stealing from you.
• 36:38
  By the way, I saw that refund checks.
• 36:40
  We had talked about this uh back a couple of months ago.
• 36:43
  I know Scott Bissent was making a big deal out of the refund checks.
• 36:47
  It's gonna be a lot more money.
• 36:48
  It is up 11.1%.
• 36:51
  It's gone from 3200 last year in refunds from the IRS when you do your taxes, and it's up now to about 3550.
• 36:59
  So it's about 350.
• 37:00
  Unfortunately, we are spending that money in our gas tank because gas I was gonna say it's all bad gas get as a relief.
• 37:07
  Yeah, it is so true.
• 37:08
  We have more of the show coming up, more of the program.
• 37:11
  Please stay with us, don't go anywhere.
• 37:13
  I cannot tell a lie.
• 37:14
  My sinuses are blocked.
• 37:16
  George, you crossed the Delaware.

• 38:47
  I'm Booker Scott along with Matt Palumbo.
• 38:49
  By the way, Matt has written 11 books.
• 38:52
  He's written some you've heard of too.
• 38:53
  Let me go through a few of them.
• 38:55
  You have Spygate that he wrote with Dan Bongino.
• 38:58
  You have fact checking the fact checkers.
• 39:00
  You have Man Behind the Curtain about George Soros and The Heir about Alex Soros, George Soros' son.
• 39:06
  You can find all of those on Amazon.
• 39:08
  Just go to Amazon, put in Matt Palumbo, and you'll find all of the books that he has written.
• 39:14
  So Matt, let's uh talk a little bit about the primary coming up and the way the Democrats are positioning things here for a few minutes because I I see James Carville and I I don't know if you've seen his videos, but this guy is he's not right.
• 39:28
  He's never really been right.
• 39:29
  He's the type of guy that I would probably like to go have a beer with, but I I I think he's off his rocker at this point.
• 39:36
  Yeah, as you were mentioning him, I was just doing a quick Google search to make sure I was remembering a book he wrote in 2009.
• 39:43
  The title is 40 more years, how Democrats will rule the next generation.
• 39:48
  That was that was that was what a year before the Tea Party uh revolution and all that.
• 39:53
  So no, he wasn't right there.
• 39:55
  Although he is married to a Republican strategist, so he must have some level of.
• 40:00
  Self-awareness and also do a character version of themselves.
• 40:03
  Maybe.
• 40:03
  I unless I don't understand how that relationship works at all.
• 40:06
  But no, he's really not right.
• 40:09
  Well, when he's right about things, he's still wrong.
• 40:11
  Like he'll attack the left for going too far woke in one breath.
• 40:16
  And then in the next breath, go, God, why do these Republicans care about trans kids in sports?
• 40:21
  Who cares?
• 40:21
  And I'm thinking, all right, so you're assessing the problem correctly, but you're also part of it.
• 40:26
  Right.
• 40:27
  Let's go to something he said.
• 40:28
  Here's a recent video from James Carville.
• 40:31
  By the way, he's married to Republican strategist.
• 40:34
  You don't see her much anymore.
• 40:35
  Her name is Mary Matlin.
• 40:36
  Here he's clear enough.
• 40:38
  I do not want that man to die.
• 40:39
  I want to, I want to watch him suffer.
• 40:42
  And I I can't watch a dead person suffer.
• 40:44
  So I I want him to be fully cognizant in November.
• 40:48
  That's James Carville.
• 40:50
  He's talking about Donald Trump there, Matt.
• 40:52
  Yeah.
• 40:52
  He doesn't want him dead.
• 40:54
  He wants him to suffer.
• 40:56
  That's what he's looking for.
• 40:58
  Oh, what a great guy.
• 40:59
  Um, no, I mean, this is by the way, it's just 90% of the left.
• 41:03
  Uh they're not all gonna come out and say it, but this is how most of them think.
• 41:08
  We saw it after Charlie Kirk's death, where it was not only was going after Kirk, not enough, we had to then target the widow.
• 41:14
  But if Trump actually was killed in Butler, we I mean, do I even have to tell people how the response what the response would be?
• 41:20
  They'd be celebrating every single day for the rest of their lives.
• 41:23
  So no, these are sick people.
• 41:25
  Well, you bring up Charlie Kirk.
• 41:26
  Let's go back and visit last week in the courtroom.
• 41:29
  Tyler Robinson was there.
• 41:31
  His next hearing is coming up April 18th.
• 41:34
  I don't know if you saw that.
• 41:35
  Did you keep up with that last week at all?
• 41:37
  There was the letter.
• 41:43
  Well, yeah, he's that reason that's not enough.
• 41:45
  Yeah, yeah, about the letter and the gun, and he was trying to go pick it up.
• 41:49
  There were text messages between him and his trans lover, and all of that came out last week.
• 41:55
  And there are still people that believe Candace Owens that it was Israel that was behind it, and you have tailplane numbers from Egypt, and that's crazy.
• 42:05
  Tucker Carlson is crazy.
• 42:07
  Alex Jones is crazy.
• 42:08
  You know, Alex Jones has rarely been right about anything.
• 42:12
  And now he is going after Donald Trump.
• 42:14
  I don't know if you saw his video over the weekend.
• 42:16
  Yeah.
• 42:17
  Yeah, you know, he's he's never been right really about anything.
• 42:20
  But people love him and they they follow him and they believe what he says.
• 42:24
  And I don't have any idea why they still do.
• 42:28
  I always thought Alex Jones was funny as a sort of internet meme type character.
• 42:34
  But I I could never imagine actually trusting his news analysis on everything.
• 42:39
  It is certifiable insanity.
• 42:41
  It's you know, reptile reptilian overlord tier stuff, and that's what Candace is sort of doing the true crime version of that.
• 42:48
  That's right.
• 42:48
  I I just don't get what the what the motivation behind this narrative is because we've been talking for decades about how violent the left is, but they want to kill their political opponents, and then they do it, and then we squander all that goodwill we could have used to actually enact change and descend to these conspiracies of it being for some reason Israel was gonna kill one of their biggest supporters in America for a goal that makes no sense.
• 43:13
  Right.
• 43:14
  But people believe it, and uh you know, and then it's causing a divide in on the conservative side of things in politics.
• 43:20
  Uh and you know, we have Michelle Obama out there, she's making videos on podcasts.
• 43:25
  If anybody cares, here she is with this.
• 43:27
  Oh, we talk about how do you feel about the country?
• 43:31
  You know, there are versions of the the country that happened.
• 43:35
  Yeah, right.
• 43:36
  And the new version doesn't make the old one bad.
• 43:39
  It's a necessary for growth, and I think we're in just a janky version, right?
• 43:45
  Yeah, Janki's right.
• 43:46
  It's a janky version right now.
• 43:47
  Um what does that mean, Matt?
• 43:50
  What is a janky version of America?
• 43:52
  What is a version of America?
• 43:53
  What is she talking about?
• 43:55
  She's very much like Kamala Harris.
• 43:57
  She doesn't make much sense to me.
• 43:58
  And something else, I don't know if I've ever shared this with you.
• 44:01
  I have shared it with the audience.
• 44:02
  She is a right speaker.
• 44:04
  And what I mean by that is she uses right in a rhetorical way that makes you think me too.
• 44:10
  I cannot stand it.
• 44:11
  And I call it I call it a a linguistic tie-down.
• 44:14
  It's to continue the conversation so that you feel like an idiot if you think uh the opposite of the way that person is talking, right?
• 44:21
  So they just keep saying right after everything they say, and then the conversation moves, and you're like, well, wait a minute.
• 44:28
  Uh you know, typically right is used in this type of way.
• 44:31
  Matt, uh Michelle Obama really doesn't make any sense, right?
• 44:35
  Right.
• 44:36
  Uh uh.
• 44:38
  Yeah, liberals can't make up their like whatever Trump does something they don't like, they say it's anti-American, and then like when they argue against guns or something, they go, Well, the founding fathers, I mean, they're a bunch of slave-owning racists.
• 44:50
  I'm like, okay, so is America good or bad, like you at least pick one and then sick there.
• 44:55
  I uh what came to mind was Bill Burr, the comedian who used to be funny um during the Obama administration was complaining about how visible Michelle is, and he's like, all right, listen, like let's put it this way.
• 45:06
  If if uh, you know, I need a plumber, and is and his wife comes by and says a lecture and me, I'm gonna go, you know, I'm sure you're a nice lady, but uh you're really not the person we need right now.
• 45:16
  Why do we care what she has to say about anything?
• 45:19
  Did you see Trump going after Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens on a post over the weekend?
• 45:24
  I was thinking it was the best gets to a post I've ever seen.
• 45:27
  It was something he he said he hopes Candace Owens loses her lawsuit against the fine wife of McCrone.
• 45:35
  He's far better looking, which is I guess true.
• 45:39
  I mean, she's old, but yeah, yeah.
• 45:41
  Well, she is better looking than Candace Owens.
• 45:44
  Let's go to more of this Michelle Obama.
• 45:46
  Christmas Obama, you may just jank right now.
• 45:48
  Yeah, super jank.
• 45:50
  Yes, yes, he's not gonna be happy with that.
• 45:53
  But I couldn't find an I couldn't find another like adjective.
• 45:55
  I couldn't find another seminar metaphor here.
• 45:58
  But with each, you know, w with each version, we learn something about ourselves as a country.
• 46:04
  And you know, I'm right now I'm I'm kind of digging the way folks are beginning to respond, right?
• 46:13
  I mean, right.
• 46:14
  Um Minnesota powerful stuff.
• 46:17
  I mean, it was a powerful reminder of what a community of people can do and are willing to do to protect one another.
• 46:24
  What is she talking about?
• 46:25
  I still don't know and I I don't know.
• 46:28
  I don't have a clue.
• 46:29
  What is she talking about?
• 46:31
  A different version of America, and what happened in Minnesota was fan tact.
• 46:35
  Fantastic.
• 46:36
  What is she talking about?
• 46:38
  I was hoping like Clip would go in longer so that I would have time to figure out what she was talking about and cut it.
• 46:44
  So I don't think it would have helped, but uh we have dodged a bullet by staying away from the woke radical left.
• 46:52
  That's what we did in the last election.
• 46:54
  That's what scares me about coming up in the primary in November, which we'll talk about that more as we get closer to it.
• 47:01
  There's a lot to be worried about with that.
• 47:04
  And while I'm talking about that, let me also tell everybody in the audience that I will be speaking at the Tampa Bay Trump Republican Club coming up April 21st at Muggs, just off of Ulmerton.
• 47:17
  So come on out to that.
• 47:18
  They're a huge club.
• 47:19
  They've had a lot of great speakers through the years.
• 47:22
  I think uh General Flynn has been there about five or six times, but I'll be there April 21st.
• 47:26
  We're gonna talk about some specific strategies that can be done for this upcoming um uh primary that we have.
• 47:33
  And uh so if you're in the Tampa Bay area, come on out and join us for that.
• 47:37
  Now let's go to Kamala Harris.
• 47:39
  We talk about dodging a bullet for the Democrats.
• 47:42
  This could have been your president, right?
• 47:47
  So then he's kind of like this is her Trump impression.
• 47:50
  This is yeah, here we go.
• 47:52
  Well, you know, you take Eastern Europe.
• 47:58
  I'll take the Western hemisphere.
• 48:01
  She sounds more like she just took a big drag off uh it doesn't sound like Donald Trump at all.
• 48:09
  It sounds like she's smoking pot to me.
• 48:12
  Everyone thinks they can do a Trump expression, she can't.
• 48:16
  She can't.
• 48:17
  Well, let's go.
• 48:18
  Let's listen to the former vice president of the United States.
• 48:21
  And then you over there, you can you get Asian.
• 48:27
  Right.
• 48:28
  Instead of understanding historically, America has always been about our global leadership.
• 48:33
  Imperfect though we have been.
• 48:35
  Right speakers kill me.
• 48:37
  They I just cannot stand it, Matt.
• 48:39
  But again, I don't know what she's talking about either.
• 48:41
  Uh none of these people make any sense to me.
• 48:43
  And we're gonna get to Canada here in a few minutes, but come on in on Kamala Harris.
• 48:47
  Is her career over?
• 48:49
  Is she done?
• 48:50
  Because when you look at polls, she's leading for the top spot for the Democrats in 2028.
• 48:57
  Maybe maybe they're just hoping they can get their own like Trump-like comeback, but uh I don't know.
• 49:02
  It's far it's far it would be far less impressive because they really threw every possible thing at Trump, including trying to murder him, and it didn't work.
• 49:11
  So no, it's just uh I don't know, she has no aura.
• 49:14
  She's just um I mean she didn't even win the Democrat primary.
• 49:18
  She had to be insolved, and uh, I think it is questionable that she would have even won that.
• 49:22
  So um I mean, didn't she get less than one percent of the vote in the in the 2020?
• 49:26
  Yeah, she she bailed out way earlier before there was ever one vote.
• 49:30
  She bailed out before Iowa.
• 49:32
  Oh, yes, yes, sorry, he pulled it below one percent.
• 49:35
  Correct.
• 49:35
  Yeah, she doesn't even have a brain.
• 49:37
  Let's be honest.
• 49:38
  How did she get where she got?
• 49:40
  I I have no idea.
• 49:41
  So we'll never know.
• 49:43
  Well, I think we know.
• 49:44
  I think both of us have a general idea for working theory for how that happened.
• 49:48
  There was a guy named Willie in California.
• 49:49
  We'll tell you about that some other time.
• 49:51
  No, yeah.
• 49:52
  Well, the kids are asleep, we'll both go through that story.
• 49:56
  Let's go.
• 49:57
  Let's go to our friends, the communists in
• 50:00
  Canada, and I don't know if you've kept up with what's going on in Canada, but these people up there, they are whacked out.
• 50:06
  They have a lot of people.
• 50:08
  Yeah, yeah.
• 50:09
  Well, just in general.
• 50:11
  This is my favorite story from last week.
• 50:12
  I'm glad you had to.
• 50:14
  But in general, Canada is gone.
• 50:16
  Except for Alberta.
• 50:18
  And this story comes out of Ottawa.
• 50:20
  So let's go to it.
• 50:21
  Um, it's really interesting.
• 50:23
  I never knew that.
• 50:24
  Well, I'll play it, and then we'll talk about it.
• 50:26
  They provided zero dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMI W G to S L G B T Q QIA plus.
• 50:35
  What's the password to my Wi-Fi on my router?
• 50:39
  That's that's the password.
• 50:41
  That's the password of your router.
• 50:42
  That's awesome.
• 50:43
  Let's go.
• 50:44
  This wasn't the clip I thought you were gonna play, but I I had seen this, and I was saying to you before the show about it.
• 50:49
  Like it's stuff is so stupid, but it is impressive that anyone could remember that acronym and recite it effortlessly.
• 50:56
  Yeah.
• 50:57
  So at least I mean, I don't think they still have a brain, but I they somehow have a brain power to do that.
• 51:01
  So good for them.
• 51:02
  Well, it starts off with M M I W.
• 51:05
  And that is the M's.
• 51:07
  Here's the thing.
• 51:08
  The M stands for murder.
• 51:10
  So if you get murdered, if you get murdered, you're now part of the LGBTQ.
• 51:14
  You're part of that group.
• 51:15
  Yeah.
• 51:15
  We'll throw you in that group.
• 51:16
  There's no end.
• 51:18
  That group, that group is getting so big.
• 51:20
  We started off with gays and lesbians, and then we added trans, and then you know what did it for me is when they started adding the pluses.
• 51:28
  And I said it way back then.
• 51:30
  I said, this is so they can keep adding letters.
• 51:32
  Yes.
• 51:33
  And that's what this is.
• 51:34
  And they don't take away the pluses because they'll continue to add letters forever.
• 51:39
  This is missing murdered indigenous women, is what that is.
• 51:43
  Yeah, listen to this again.
• 51:44
  Two S L G B T Q QIA plus.
• 51:47
  What?
• 51:47
  I it makes my head spin.
• 51:50
  This is a if you're a missing indigenous woman, and then you become not missing.
• 51:55
  If you get found and you're no longer in the club, it's there's a lot of rules that need to be clarified.
• 51:59
  Yeah, I don't know what the left is ever doing.
• 52:01
  I can't keep up with them.
• 52:02
  Matt, we're coming to the end of the hour.
• 52:04
  What do we look for this week?
• 52:07
  I think Iran is going to be the big topic.
• 52:09
  We're going to have to watch the markets.
• 52:11
  What are they going to do in response to what happened over the weekend with really no deal from the negotiation that took place in Estanbull?
• 52:19
  I I don't know.
• 52:19
  I uh what's going to happen with the oil prices?
• 52:21
  Oil prices came down one day last week, they were down to $70 a barrel.
• 52:26
  They're back up in that 80-90 range, which is close to where they were before all of this started.
• 52:31
  It's going to take some time before the gas prices come down.
• 52:33
  I think that we're going to see oil go down lower, but we'll just have to wait and see how this goes because as Donald Trump says, we're going to open up the Strait of Hormuz with a blockade, meaning we're going to block everybody, including Iran's ships that have been continuing to operate and uh you know allow them to sell 1.5 million barrels of oil every day.
• 52:54
  They're going to cut them off.
• 52:55
  That will, you know, choke them.
• 52:58
  And financially, they're not going to have any resources then, which by the way, their inflation in that country is at 54%.
• 53:05
  The inflation number came out for America last week.
• 53:07
  We were higher than expected.
• 53:09
  It was 3.3%.
• 53:10
  But if you look at the core number, it was still down at 2.7%.
• 53:14
  So that looks pretty good.
• 53:15
  30-year mortgage rates, they are down around six, which is much lower than they were.
• 53:20
  So things are becoming more affordable.
• 53:22
  I talked about the taxes in the IRS.
• 53:24
  The refunds are greater by $350 per refund this year.
• 53:29
  So things are looking up.
• 53:31
  And I think as the deregulations that have been taking place over the last 14-15 months since Trump came into office, I think they're going to start kicking in.
• 53:40
  We're going to feel it the second half of this year, which is going to be really important to the midterm election in November.
• 53:46
  Yes, all that.
• 53:47
  And also one of the there's a special election this week at NJ 11.
• 53:53
  Um, this is to replace Mikey Sherrill's old seat, the Democrat rep who then is now governor of New Jersey.
• 53:58
  Um her seat for a very long time was uh Republican leaning, a very uh you know, very reliably Republican.
• 54:06
  Um she won by a small margin, I believe in 2018, and then the district uh the lines were redrawn, and it's it's still my district, but it's gone from being a Republican district to around Democrat plus nine or so.
• 54:19
  So they you know they rigged it in their favor.
• 54:22
  But there's a special election this week to replace Mikey Cheryl's seat, the frontrunner Democrat is named Annalilli and Media.
• 54:29
  And if she wins, and right now, based on the early voting and the vote by mail, it's she'll probably win by 20 points or or even more, which is pretty frightening.
• 54:39
  Um she is uh gonna be part of the squad Democrats.
• 54:45
  She is a Democratic Socialist, endorsed by the DSA.
• 54:48
  Uh during the debate she had with her her Republican challenger, she was arguing that Jesus was a socialist, uh, supports universal health care, but um, I mean I I watched her to be she is insufferable to listen to, uh, spoke over her opponent the whole time, constantly interrupted him, and then at one point he says to the moderator is like, uh guys, are we gonna do anything about this?
• 55:11
  Then interrupts him again and talks about how angry he's getting and his temperament, and it was it his temperament was exactly as I just said five seconds ago.
• 55:19
  He was just kind of asking the moderators to maybe do their jobs, but uh unfortunately it seems like we're probably gonna get another AOC in Congress.
• 55:27
  Um, she's gonna have to then run again in November because it's just her eight months or so, however long it is called until November.
• 55:36
  So hopefully she's out of there quickly, but it seems like we're gonna be adding a new Democratic Socialist to Congress this week.
• 55:41
  And I have not seen this be getting that much coverage, uh fortunately.
• 55:45
  And if you look at the numbers too, um I think there's now like 40,000 more Democrats and Republicans in the district, and even then, only 7% of Republicans have voted so far, about 15% of Democrats have.
• 55:59
  So in theory, Republicans all decided to turn out, they actually could win it.
• 56:05
  But it seems like it's it's gonna be uh you know plus 20 point where it um swing for the damsels, which is pretty horrifying.
• 56:12
  What is that congressional district again?
• 56:14
  Uh New Jersey 11th.
• 56:15
  11.
• 56:16
  11 in New Jersey, so that's coming up Tuesday.
• 56:19
  So watch that.
• 56:20
  Matt, thank you so much for joining us this week and every week.
• 56:23
  Always a pleasure to visit with you.
• 56:25
  I enjoy it so much.
• 56:26
  Thank you.
• 56:27
  You're welcome.
• 56:27
  Yeah, see you next week.
• 56:29
  Don't forget that you were told two thousand years ago that you are the salt of the earth and salt without flavor, it has no value.
• 56:35
  So whatever you do, keep being salty.
• 56:37
  Have a great night.
• 56:39
  There is only one truth.
• 56:40
  You've been listening to The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
