FTTxJT 070326 "Good for America" · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:01
Speaker 1: We cut the cost of radio listening. By hell, it
0:04
Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
0:07
Speaker 1: one million dollars. I'm calling even first thing today by
0:13
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the drunk comedian new.
0:15
Speaker 2: Word said, steal me stem.
0:18
Speaker 1: You have a day at least for work.
0:21
Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoop.
0:24
Speaker 2: Then Joe has.
0:26
Speaker 1: Everything a dream, do all the treasures that needs.
0:31
Speaker 2: The one that Joe's allis smiled.
0:33
Speaker 3: He only as let them be.
0:38
Speaker 4: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
0:40
Speaker 4: you this morning. I want to be the voice of
0:44
Speaker 4: the foothills or Freedom fifteen seventy in Minneapolis, wherever you are,
0:51
Speaker 4: I appreciate you basking and the amplitude and frequency modulation goodness.
0:56
Speaker 4: You know, is it possible to love a holiday but
0:59
Speaker 4: not the fact that we all take holidays and the
1:02
Speaker 4: disruption and the schedules get all thrown us under our
1:06
Speaker 4: friend and podcaster, former Congressman Bob good On with us. Bob,
1:12
Speaker 4: thank you for you know, kind of reshuffling your schedule.
1:16
Speaker 4: It completely skated past me that today was Friday, so
1:20
Speaker 4: I apologize for that. I should have known better.
1:23
Speaker 5: Great to be with you Joe, thanks for having me
1:25
Speaker 5: and happy Independence two fifty weekend.
1:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely so important. I want to jump to something
1:32
Speaker 4: that strike struck a little controversy, John Cornyn, I guess,
1:37
Speaker 4: you know, looking for burning bags of dog excrement to
1:40
Speaker 4: leave on people's porches. Decided to quote call out the
1:45
Speaker 4: conservatives that want to Save America Act. And his expose,
1:50
Speaker 4: if you will, was Politico Magazine, which is Washington, DC's
1:54
Speaker 4: version of TMZ, and this Politico quote expose says, here's
2:00
Speaker 4: the dirty little secret GOP doesn't want you to know.
2:03
Speaker 4: The Save America Act stops mail in voting. And I
2:07
Speaker 4: read the thing thinking, yeah, and your point is, But
2:12
Speaker 4: apparently this is the answer to my question. What is
2:16
Speaker 4: everyone's problem with the Save Act? Apparently it's the fact
2:19
Speaker 4: that we ask people to show up and vote on
2:22
Speaker 4: election day, you know, if we passed it.
2:25
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Jodah Constitution list election day, it doesn't
2:29
Speaker 5: say election week, election month, election season, and it largely
2:35
Speaker 5: gives the power to oversee elections to the states. But
2:38
Speaker 5: Congress has a role in the Constitution as well, and
2:40
Speaker 5: Congress can pass laws that are clear on a national
2:44
Speaker 5: level to provide some guideline, some parameters for elections and ballots. Obviously,
2:51
Speaker 5: we ought not to have unsolicited mass mail in ballots,
2:54
Speaker 5: and ballots that are necessary for those who are serving
2:58
Speaker 5: the military, those who have disability issues, those who are
3:02
Speaker 5: physically unable to be present, should have to be requested
3:06
Speaker 5: in advance and often have to be received by election
3:09
Speaker 5: day so that we can conduct the election on election day.
3:13
Speaker 2: But apparently John Cornyn.
3:15
Speaker 5: Who's always been a moderate, let's be kind and say
3:19
Speaker 5: that moderate Republican senator, and there's a reason why he
3:23
Speaker 5: was in disfavor even before the Trump endorsement of Ken Paxton.
3:28
Speaker 5: But he shows his true colors. I guess once they
3:32
Speaker 5: don't have to rely on people for their vote anymore,
3:34
Speaker 5: or they don't have to run for office anymore, then
3:36
Speaker 5: you really find out who and what people are.
3:38
Speaker 4: Let me ask you though that point, and I've still amazed.
3:43
Speaker 4: But if it is such an abrogation of election season,
3:50
Speaker 4: there's read a piece California's watched vote turnout go down
3:55
Speaker 4: in their capitulation to the woke left on early voting
3:59
Speaker 4: and late voting, and we have the Supreme Court ruling
4:01
Speaker 4: we can keep counting votes until we get to the
4:03
Speaker 4: result we want or whatever it was. But since then
4:08
Speaker 4: vote turnout's gone down. All I have to do in
4:11
Speaker 4: Virginia is suggests that we go to one week instead
4:14
Speaker 4: of forty five days. And I'm a vote suppressor, and
4:17
Speaker 4: it's poll taxes and we're going to drive down the vote.
4:21
Speaker 4: This attitude has driven down the vote statistically from what
4:25
Speaker 4: I've seen.
4:25
Speaker 1: Bob am I wrong.
4:28
Speaker 2: And you're right.
4:29
Speaker 5: The greater trust that people have in the election system
4:33
Speaker 5: and fair elections and integrity of elections and so forth,
4:36
Speaker 5: it increases voter turnout. And it's certainly not never been
4:41
Speaker 5: demonstrated what the Dems in the left would have us
4:44
Speaker 5: believe that somehow, if you try to preserve or ensure
4:47
Speaker 5: election integrity to the best of our ability, things like
4:49
Speaker 5: voter ID for example, that it does not suppress votes,
4:54
Speaker 5: it does not suppress turnout. It does just the opposite.
4:57
Speaker 5: And that's been demonstrated time and again.
5:00
Speaker 4: It's a common theme here, not a flaw, but a feature.
5:03
Speaker 4: You know, Red Hat is a Virginia company and they
5:06
Speaker 4: do a lot of game design, and I think they
5:08
Speaker 4: coined the phrase, well, that's not a bug in the game,
5:11
Speaker 4: that's a feature of the game. And I don't think
5:13
Speaker 4: that this attitude towards driving down our faith in election
5:17
Speaker 4: is a mistake. I think they want us to lose
5:20
Speaker 4: faith in the system so that they can come up
5:23
Speaker 4: with a new America for the next two hundred and
5:26
Speaker 4: fifty years. Bob am I crazy.
5:28
Speaker 5: Well, the Democrats obviously receive their power through voter They
5:38
Speaker 5: recognize they benefit that they suffer with election integrity, or
5:41
Speaker 5: they wouldn't be against it. It was that commission from
5:44
Speaker 5: what thirty years ago with James Baker and Jimmy Carter
5:47
Speaker 5: that said, Hey, way to commit fraud on a massive
5:51
Speaker 5: scale is through unsolicited mail ballots.
5:55
Speaker 2: It is through a lack of an id.
6:00
Speaker 5: The kind of things that we have fought over the
6:02
Speaker 5: last several years are what Jimmy Carter and James Baker
6:04
Speaker 5: James Baker, no conservative, but said thirty years ago and Democrats,
6:10
Speaker 5: of course, there's only reason you would be against reasonable
6:13
Speaker 5: security measures to protect the integrity of our election is
6:16
Speaker 5: to ensure that only every legal and legitimate vote is counted.
6:20
Speaker 5: If you wanted to facilitate the right to cheat, the
6:22
Speaker 5: right to fraud, or the ability. So that's that's clear
6:26
Speaker 5: to anyone who's looking at it objectively.
6:29
Speaker 4: What is your view, Bob. You know, the Iranian situation
6:34
Speaker 4: seems to be calmed down to the point where we're
6:37
Speaker 4: now trafficking in leaks. You know, Oh, somebody who met
6:42
Speaker 4: Steve Kushner at a airport now is called the Washington
6:47
Speaker 4: Post to say demand iraqis or Iran is demanding money
6:52
Speaker 4: for the strait of horror moves and these kind of things.
6:55
Speaker 4: Not that I would be surprised that they're ardently held.
6:58
Speaker 4: Theological beliefs could be bought up off with a bag
7:00
Speaker 4: of cap.
7:01
Speaker 3: Let's see if something costs less a lot less. But
7:04
Speaker 3: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
Speaker 3: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
Speaker 3: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
7:13
Speaker 3: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge. But it's
7:16
Speaker 3: also true. People are just happier with it. They love
7:18
Speaker 3: being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
7:22
Speaker 3: and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
7:25
Speaker 3: been around for thirty years now and members have shared
7:28
Speaker 3: more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People
7:31
Speaker 3: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks. So yeah, really,
7:36
Speaker 3: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
7:38
Speaker 3: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
7:41
Speaker 3: whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy,
7:43
Speaker 3: or you just want to plan that you're happy with.
7:46
Speaker 1: Here you go.
7:46
Speaker 3: You can call right now and get a price within
7:48
Speaker 3: two minutes. A very very smart use of two minutes.
7:51
Speaker 3: Here's the number you need. It's eight five to five
7:53
Speaker 3: Share forty eight five five Share forty eight five five
7:58
Speaker 3: share forty hundred.
8:11
Speaker 1: To do list. Putting the radio on is the first
8:14
Speaker 1: thing today.
8:23
Speaker 4: Is the host of the Good for America podcast. He
8:27
Speaker 4: is Bob good Uh, and he's on with us the
8:34
Speaker 4: I just got a question from a listener said that
8:37
Speaker 4: voter he saw a t shirt that said voter ID
8:41
Speaker 4: is racist, which I laugh at that premise. We were
8:44
Speaker 4: talking about the Save America Act because and you talk
8:49
Speaker 4: about the federal role in elections, the key federal role
8:54
Speaker 4: is to make sure my rights are not infringed upon
8:57
Speaker 4: by someone else. And if somebody who's not supposed to
9:01
Speaker 4: be voting is voting, that's infringing my right to have
9:05
Speaker 4: a say in my government. It's diluting it. It's completely
9:09
Speaker 4: voiding it. For each one who does so. I think
9:13
Speaker 4: that's where if everyone who says, oh, states rights issue,
9:17
Speaker 4: the same act to me is about saying that there
9:20
Speaker 4: will be a federal law that says you have to
9:22
Speaker 4: make sure that each citizen's vote is sanctified, is protected
9:29
Speaker 4: in the same way my property should be protected or
9:32
Speaker 4: my privacy. He winks at the camera.
9:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, everyone who cheats in an election or votes fraudulently
9:40
Speaker 5: is stealing from all of us. They're stealing from every legitimate,
9:45
Speaker 5: qualified voter who participates. They're stealing the election. They're stealing
9:49
Speaker 5: the value of our vote, the representation of our vote,
9:52
Speaker 5: and it's paramount to our constitution, republic. The integrity of
9:56
Speaker 5: our elections is paramount. The faith and trust in our
9:58
Speaker 5: elections is paramount, and we ought to all support that.
10:02
Speaker 5: Republican Democrat and dependent alike.
10:05
Speaker 4: My friend Victor Davis Hanson, co author with me at
10:09
Speaker 4: the Daily Signal dot com. Look at Joe artfully finding
10:13
Speaker 4: a way to insinuate that he and Victor Davis Hanson
10:15
Speaker 4: are somehow equals. But he has written beautiful prose in
10:21
Speaker 4: the same way that I've done radio programs. Concerned that
10:25
Speaker 4: once July fifth gets here and we get into the
10:28
Speaker 4: next two hundred and fifty years, we're going to see
10:31
Speaker 4: a concerted effort to try to move the old America
10:37
Speaker 4: into the dusty shelves of a museum somewhere, under the
10:41
Speaker 4: guise of these Democratic socialists that are rising up in
10:45
Speaker 4: the party and taking this reparational charge full of young
10:51
Speaker 4: people saying, yeah, I have no money, and they're gonna
10:54
Speaker 4: go get me money, which they don't realize is a lie.
10:57
Speaker 4: Maybe they'll figure it out at some point. Are you
11:00
Speaker 4: concerned that in the next year we're going to see
11:03
Speaker 4: a big push to see major overhauls or are they
11:07
Speaker 4: going to go slowly like the Fabians used to.
11:11
Speaker 5: Well it hinges on the a number of elections, of course,
11:15
Speaker 5: and if the Democrats win the House and or god forbid,
11:19
Speaker 5: the Senate, you're going to see an incredible change in Washington.
11:26
Speaker 5: They will be bolded and empowered by the momentum of
11:29
Speaker 5: that that they went radically left with their candidates as
11:32
Speaker 5: we spoke about, and that they were rewarded with power
11:34
Speaker 5: and trusted by the American people to do that. And
11:39
Speaker 5: so yes, Democrat Party will further presientil itself who and
11:42
Speaker 5: what they are if they were win the midterms.
11:44
Speaker 4: Well, you know, and that's the part that concerns me.
11:47
Speaker 4: A friend of mine asked if I thought Hakeem Jeffries
11:50
Speaker 4: would wind up being Speaker of the House. They said not.
11:53
Speaker 4: Of all these people from New York and Colorado and
11:57
Speaker 4: Maine wind up getting into the House, they're not going
12:00
Speaker 4: to support He's to mainstream. He's practically a Republican compared
12:04
Speaker 4: to some of these Democratic socialists. Is this the ascendancy
12:09
Speaker 4: of Alexandra Cassio Cortez to Speaker of the US House?
12:15
Speaker 5: To your point, she is more associated with Hakeem Jeffries
12:20
Speaker 5: in the New Democrat Party than is she is these
12:23
Speaker 5: most radical leftist communists that are winning these primaries. She's
12:26
Speaker 5: considered more mainstream, if you will, so, I don't think
12:31
Speaker 5: they'll have the power or the influence to try to
12:33
Speaker 5: select their speaker.
12:35
Speaker 2: I think you're going to see someone that's kind of.
12:38
Speaker 5: The center radical left of the Democrat Party, like a
12:42
Speaker 5: Hakeem Jeffries I think is going to be Speaker of
12:44
Speaker 5: the Democrats to take the House.
12:45
Speaker 4: Well, a friend again asked, because of what happened with
12:49
Speaker 4: the House Freedom Concas and Kevin McCarthy, does the left
12:54
Speaker 4: pull the same kind of thing with Hakeem Jeffries, where
12:57
Speaker 4: they threaten to hold up or even and overturn his
13:01
Speaker 4: speakership in exchange for a more radical leftists, even one
13:07
Speaker 4: that might seem Keem Jeffries type.
13:11
Speaker 5: Well, that is a possibility, and I don't know who
13:15
Speaker 5: that candidate would be. You know, a lot of times
13:20
Speaker 5: what happens is these people who aspire to be in
13:22
Speaker 5: positions of influence, they get bought off by the party
13:25
Speaker 5: with other positions leadership co opted by the party. So
13:29
Speaker 5: you could see AOC actually taking that route if she
13:32
Speaker 5: thinks she's a long shot to be speaker, for example.
13:35
Speaker 4: Well and if speaker doesn't help her become president someday.
13:39
Speaker 4: Bob Good on with us. What's coming up in the
13:42
Speaker 4: Good for America podcast this week.
13:45
Speaker 5: Well, we're going to talk a lot about America two
13:47
Speaker 5: fifty and we're going to talk about the Declaration and
13:50
Speaker 5: how you've got one declaration. Like all great documents, it's
13:54
Speaker 5: the opening and the close that matter, emost or that
13:56
Speaker 5: are most important. And in the opening, you've got the
13:59
Speaker 5: ideal that our rights come from our creator, that were
14:02
Speaker 5: endowed by these rights, and that government exists to protect
14:06
Speaker 5: those rights half the country, or at least politically, and
14:09
Speaker 5: many voters the Democrats don't believe that anymore.
14:12
Speaker 2: But then you get to the.
14:12
Speaker 5: Close of it, where it says, hey, for all these
14:15
Speaker 5: things that we put in this declaration, we pledge our lives,
14:19
Speaker 5: our fortunes, our sacred honor. I look at the Republican
14:22
Speaker 5: Party and it's hard for me to imagine that the
14:24
Speaker 5: so called leaders are elected representative today would actually they
14:27
Speaker 5: won't risk their next election, they won't risk their falling
14:31
Speaker 5: out of favor with their donors, they won't risk offending
14:33
Speaker 5: the president, they won't risk their committee assignments, their political ambitions.
14:39
Speaker 5: It's hard to imagine they would have been pledging lives, fortune,
14:42
Speaker 5: sacred honor and actually been on the side of the
14:43
Speaker 5: revolutionaries if they lived two hundred fifty years ago.
14:47
Speaker 4: There's a reasonable argument that they might have been siding
14:50
Speaker 4: with the British many Americans were doing. They're saying, ah,
14:55
Speaker 4: I've got it good.
14:56
Speaker 1: What do you know?
14:57
Speaker 4: I guess that's the problem is the I've got a
14:59
Speaker 4: good no relation to the Bob good class. But the
15:04
Speaker 4: I've got a good class makes it very hard to,
15:07
Speaker 4: you know, bring things back to a point of order
15:11
Speaker 4: their Bob and it's just this simple questions, asking the
15:14
Speaker 4: simple questions, getting the simple answers. Well, you appreciate your
15:18
Speaker 4: visits as always. Uh, you know, so where are you
15:21
Speaker 4: watching the fireworks from at Bob Good Central?
15:25
Speaker 5: I won't be in at Max County, Central Virginia, where
15:28
Speaker 5: we moved just a couple of weeks ago, and with
15:31
Speaker 5: family doing some things, and we are celebrating together and
15:34
Speaker 5: remembering what it's all about, and the emphasis on the
15:37
Speaker 5: on the Declaration and the founders and what the ideals
15:40
Speaker 5: upon which America was established.
15:43
Speaker 4: It's interesting I pointed this out a couple of days ago.
15:46
Speaker 4: There was no place. I mean, it wasn't like we
15:48
Speaker 4: were taking a template and saying, oh, well, you know
15:51
Speaker 4: what they did successfully in Greece, we're going to do here. Well,
15:55
Speaker 4: we were inventing something out of whole cloth. There were
15:57
Speaker 4: no other countries that were governing themselves or even portending
16:02
Speaker 4: to take John Locke's philosophy and make it a governing
16:06
Speaker 4: you know, it was a debatable, it was a think tank,
16:08
Speaker 4: the universities talked about it. But somebody who actually said
16:11
Speaker 4: we're going to build a country on this. That was
16:14
Speaker 4: very unique two hundred and fifty years ago.
16:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's certainly understated to say that we are blessed
16:21
Speaker 5: by those who risked everything to implement the concept, to
16:27
Speaker 5: put it into actual practice, that people could govern themselves,
16:30
Speaker 5: that people could choose their own form of government, that
16:33
Speaker 5: we could be a government based on a constitution with
16:38
Speaker 5: a representative democracy or a constitution of republic, and that
16:44
Speaker 5: the purpose of government, again was to protect those rights
16:47
Speaker 5: that are given to us by our creator.
16:49
Speaker 4: Amen Good for America dot org is where you find
16:54
Speaker 4: him online anytime. I'm sure YouTube and all of those
16:57
Speaker 4: places as well.

Speaker 6: Bob Hey, guys, Eddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,
17:02
Speaker 6: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
17:05
Speaker 6: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
17:08
Speaker 6: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
17:11
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
17:13
Speaker 6: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
17:16
Speaker 6: be you moving your body and doing what you already
17:18
Speaker 6: love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
17:21
Speaker 6: just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout

Speaker 7: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Portfouschaw
17:58
Speaker 7: in Louisiana. Now, as Win Energy continues to grow, many

18:36
Speaker 1: Chalk Radio Just the Way your mother used to make
18:39
Speaker 1: the first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chalk
18:42
Speaker 1: Media Network.
18:43
Speaker 4: As we approached the two hundred and fiftieth and I
18:46
Speaker 4: think it's interesting to juxtapose this John Cornyan story where
18:50
Speaker 4: he's like, ohow, it's because you won't let mail in ballots.
18:53
Speaker 4: And it's one of the most corrupting points of this
18:59
Speaker 4: is voting not and they've perverted the idea of a
19:03
Speaker 4: secret ballot into voting in secret. No, you're supposed to
19:08
Speaker 4: cast a secret ballot publicly. That's how democracy works.
19:12
Speaker 8: Andy, I understand that the voter fraud was just ridiculous.
19:17
Speaker 8: I personally paid for the undercover work at Senate election
19:23
Speaker 8: for Project Gray Toss that you know O'Keefe has popped
19:29
Speaker 8: up again.
19:30
Speaker 4: Well, and let me pick about the hang on before
19:33
Speaker 4: you leave that point. Hang on, hang out before you
19:36
Speaker 4: leave that point, because you know, James went in there
19:39
Speaker 4: and got the video of the voter fraud going on,
19:42
Speaker 4: and you know what the this this Jedi mind trick
19:47
Speaker 4: we were just talking about of the you know, oh no,
19:50
Speaker 4: your your bills going up is actually an affordability agenda.
19:54
Speaker 4: The mind trick then was, well, you didn't really see
19:57
Speaker 4: what you saw, Uh, you know, what you saw wasn't
20:00
Speaker 4: really what you thought you saw, you know, that basket
20:02
Speaker 4: of ballots that went underneath the table that wasn't really
20:06
Speaker 4: a basket of ballots, and even if it was, you
20:09
Speaker 4: can't prove it. I mean, that was the crazy stuff
20:12
Speaker 4: and what James undercovery.
20:13
Speaker 8: You and I were both in Orlando for whatever that
20:17
Speaker 8: thing was, and I was James O'Keefe's guest.
20:20
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, go we're out the.
20:23
Speaker 8: Hallway in a broadcasting for somebody who fired you.
20:28
Speaker 4: But I didn't know that Dell was also there.
20:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just it's it's incredible the amount of corruption.
20:37
Speaker 1: I actually saw this.
20:39
Speaker 8: Because I was privy to it because I was paying
20:41
Speaker 8: for it.
20:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they I don't think. I don't think the
20:44
Speaker 4: status care. I think they want us talking about voter fraud.
20:48
Speaker 4: They want us talking about it because then you know,
20:51
Speaker 4: sixty percent of the people will stay home saying ads
20:53
Speaker 4: is it's corrupt and what's the point.
20:56
Speaker 8: Well, Luke Rockwell told me at the end of a
20:59
Speaker 8: me institute, I had never been to Auburn where at
21:03
Speaker 8: the institute is, and on there, I had this little
21:07
Speaker 8: livertoskub just meant that they were in my planning documents,
21:11
Speaker 8: and he asked me, how did you get to us?
21:15
Speaker 8: And I said, used to have the University of Virginia's
21:18
Speaker 8: in my planning documents, and I had read it was
21:23
Speaker 8: actually in a different publication, but it was an essay
21:26
Speaker 8: by Ron Paul and he had said for more information
21:30
Speaker 8: see messis dot org.
21:33
Speaker 2: And the second I knew that this ended.
21:36
Speaker 8: No seriously, suce I saw that they existed. I was like,
21:41
Speaker 8: I went down and changed my estate planner.
21:45
Speaker 4: And Andy, I appreciate it. My friend, Sir Bob, I
21:50
Speaker 4: asked you earlier, Bob good Good for America podcast about
21:54
Speaker 4: Iran and what it is. You know, because Jefferson said,
21:59
Speaker 4: we're going to have to do a war with the Islamists.
22:02
Speaker 1: Do you think we'll get there.
22:03
Speaker 5: With intention of making a good deal or abiding by
22:11
Speaker 5: a good deal or keeping a good deal. They're just
22:13
Speaker 5: trying to buy time for them to continue to their
22:18
Speaker 5: pursuit of the destruction of Israel, the destruction of the
22:20
Speaker 5: United States, the development of nuclear capability, and so forth.
22:24
Speaker 5: I mean, this weekend they're celebrating or mourning or recognizing, honoring, celebrating,
22:29
Speaker 5: remembering the loss of the Ayatola. That's what they're doing
22:35
Speaker 5: right now. Do you think that is encouraging a moderation
22:38
Speaker 5: or a change there. I don't think so. So with Iran,
22:41
Speaker 5: you've got two options with a deal, You've got a
22:43
Speaker 5: bad deal, you've got a fake deal. And the Trump
22:45
Speaker 5: administration seems determined to make some deal, almost any deal,
22:51
Speaker 5: and I fear that it will be a bad deal
22:54
Speaker 5: or it will be a fake deal at the end
22:55
Speaker 5: of the day. And I think Iran will continue to
22:57
Speaker 5: just move the goalpost, and it seems.
23:01
Speaker 2: That we want to deal more than they do. What
23:04
Speaker 2: we need to do is get out and.
23:08
Speaker 5: Let them know that we will come back if we
23:10
Speaker 5: need to if the threat emerges again against the United
23:13
Speaker 5: States interests.
23:15
Speaker 4: What about its impact? You know, obviously fuel prices a
23:19
Speaker 4: little bit have come down since last we spoke, and
23:23
Speaker 4: there's hope that that's going to continue to come down,
23:26
Speaker 4: the crude oil prices. The impact all this economically speaking
23:31
Speaker 4: will have on the mid terms and holding on to
23:35
Speaker 4: or you know, whatever it means to have a Republican
23:37
Speaker 4: majority in the House and Senate.
23:42
Speaker 5: Well, there's like there's decisions in life that you can
23:45
Speaker 5: make in situations you can put yourself in life that
23:49
Speaker 5: don't have great solutions because of the circumstance that you've created,
23:53
Speaker 5: the decisions that you've made, we have, in my view,
23:56
Speaker 5: and I've said it many times with you and other
23:59
Speaker 5: opportunities had to speak on the issue. I'm not sure
24:04
Speaker 5: what we gain or what the purpose was of this
24:07
Speaker 5: latest conflict with Iran after what we did last summer.
24:11
Speaker 5: What we did last summer in addressing the threat, the
24:14
Speaker 5: President has said repeatedly eliminating the threat from a nuclear standpoint, emasculating, embarrassing, defeating,
24:21
Speaker 5: overwhelming Iran, with what we in Israel did in the.
24:23
Speaker 2: Twelve Day war.
24:25
Speaker 5: I don't know what we've done to advance that or
24:28
Speaker 5: prove that over these past few months, but we have
24:31
Speaker 5: created a situation where there are no great options for us.
24:36
Speaker 2: We have a choice.
24:37
Speaker 5: Among less than ideal options. Do we stay to try
24:41
Speaker 5: to prolong and ensure some outcome.
24:45
Speaker 2: Do we leave now and just come back as we
24:49
Speaker 2: need to do.
24:50
Speaker 5: We pretend that we have a deal with someone who
24:53
Speaker 5: is totally and completely demonstrably untrustworthy, has no intention of
24:57
Speaker 5: keeping a deal. Heck, it changes by the hour and
25:00
Speaker 5: by the day. We've had a deal, we've ended the war.
25:03
Speaker 5: The war's been over how many times over the past
25:06
Speaker 5: few months. So we don't have great options because of
25:12
Speaker 5: what we've done over the last few months. Unfortunate in
25:14
Speaker 5: my view.
25:15
Speaker 4: Bob good On with us Good for America is the podcast.
25:19
Speaker 4: I appreciate your inside on me. I'm gonna you know,
25:22
Speaker 4: and the listener knows. I've put my cards in on
25:26
Speaker 4: the fact that what I'm noticing is that the Islamic
25:30
Speaker 4: Revolutionary Guard Corps is saber rattling in their own little
25:35
Speaker 4: area of the country, and the electeds, the president, the
25:40
Speaker 4: Foreign Minister of those folks are the ones sitting down
25:46
Speaker 4: with the Americans. So I'm going to hold out hope
25:50
Speaker 4: that we can press that schism, and that schism leads
25:54
Speaker 4: us to a place where the Iranians get to choose
26:00
Speaker 4: who they have. Ironically, here in a country where we're
26:03
Speaker 4: feeling less and less likely than is that. James writes
26:08
Speaker 4: in he said the text I sent about voter ideas racist.
26:12
Speaker 4: The punchline was they were standing at a resort check
26:17
Speaker 4: in desk right next to a sign that said be
26:20
Speaker 4: prepared to show your photo ID. Yeah, well, yeah, that's okay,
26:25
Speaker 4: that's not racist. Asking me to show photo ID to
26:28
Speaker 4: get into a hotel. That's fine. Real id to get
26:31
Speaker 4: on a plane. That's fine, I'm good with that. I'll
26:35
Speaker 4: sign in for pre check, pay a little extra. Maybe
26:39
Speaker 4: that's what we should do to reform our immigration, just
26:42
Speaker 4: like our high occupancy vehicle lanes and our TSA regulations.
26:48
Speaker 4: You know, we had tolls to regulate the traffic on
26:51
Speaker 4: the roads, and then we started, oh, hov, you know,
26:54
Speaker 4: more people in one car saves gas until we realized, oh,
26:58
Speaker 4: we could make money off of it, and then we'll
26:59
Speaker 4: just sell the indulgence. Same thing with TSA pre check.
27:02
Speaker 4: Got to watch those people getting on the planes unless
27:05
Speaker 4: they pay extra.
27:07
Speaker 1: Oh that's the HB one.
27:08
Speaker 4: I'm sorry until tomorrow morning on Independence Days. So long
27:12
Speaker 4: and thanks for all the fish
